How to get more bass power
I've been reading some of the posts regarding this but can't come to a conclusion about what to do. I have the enhanced premium sound in the 2011 coupe and while Im happy with the overall sound of it I feel like its missing some bass power (probably because im used to having 2 10in alpines in my old 330). would you recommend putting and aftermarket sub in the trunk? if you have any recommendations it would be appreciated. thanks.

Have you adjusted the EQ yet? I find a good adjustment to dial the system in can make a big difference.

the middle part are around + 2 or +3 while the ends are around +7 or +8 I usually listen to blues rock or anything with a good guitar solo but the setup is also good for pretty much all other types of music. hope this helps |

1. set surround setting to stereo. 2.bal/ middle. 3.Fad/one below middle. 4.Tre/ all but two marks. 5.Bass/three passed middle. EQ settings: (100,+10, 200,+3, 500 -12, 1K-10, 2K-11, 5K+3, 10K+10) This should give you the full rich sound you are after. "Anything above middle is + and below is -".

The LC-6 is primarily used for summing channels together. It's not needed in our cars to add a sub. To get more bass-power, why would you want a 4/5 channel amp? Some of the JL woofers sound OK. The WX and W0 aren't on that list. And why have a "box" in the trunk? Several folks on the forums have fiberglass molded enclosures for a single 10" that are far better looking and sounding than an MDF "box". What a lot of folks do is exactly what end mentions - replacing the 8" with SWS8, and then using an amp on them. We use the Zapco DC amps with a BTL attenuator. Lets us get lower bass response and damp down the peakiness. ________ XV920R Last edited by VP Electricity; 01-19-2011 at 04:24 AM.. |

The OP did ask for more bass from the stock system, and this is a very good setting to hit that mark. "Come on" You know you changed yours to this exact setting.

I have premium sound and messed with my EQ, etc, etc. but still found it lacked decent bass for my liking, so I got some JL Audio Stealth Boxes, added a nice amp, etc. and am very happy.
Just an option....... http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_s...hp?fit_id=1608
