My tacoma audio upgrade

Thank you!!I did install the fast rings!

 

Almost there!You guys really helped me..The front stage is taking shape...I got my sub on 7/8 eq..I just don't know where to begin for settings to start feeling the sub.

 

How'd you set the input sensitivity on the sub amp? Maybe a picture of the amp settings would help?

 

sure!! ill do it now

 

Ok here it is..Thank you!!

 

Aside from knowing how the sensitivity was setup, that looks like it shouldn't effect output. Is the protect light lit up or is it a figment of my imagination?

Have you confirmed that the sub is in the correct polarity? I.e. does it move out and not in when the bass hits? Also, I'd make sure the sensitivity is set properly so you know you're not going to clip at higher outputs. Then you may be able to make some adjustments in the TWK for gains. Just for kicks if you could grab one more picture of your latest TWK tune sheet over all, I'm sure someone could get you pointed the right direction.

 

Sure!!! No the red light is not on..It was from the flash on my camera..Ill take pics of my tun settings now.

 

Here are some settings...sub is on 7/8

 

I don't agree with how you have done this because when you link EQs together like you have it here, you are preventing the ability to adjust similar speakers at the same time, like L/R Tweeters or L/R Woofers. You have your EQs linked but EQ1 is routed to tweeter and EQ2 is routed to the midrange woofer for the same channel. You are also going to end up applying unnecessary EQ corrections to frequencies outside of the range of the tweeter and woofer since you have them linked.

If you UNLINK those EQs that's fine, but you don't have the ability to link the EQ for both tweeters or both woofers and adjust them together.

Use EQ1 & EQ2 for Tweeters
Use EQ3 & EQ4 for Woofers

 

Ok ill do that now!!!

 

is this better for the inputs??

 

You are going to want something more like this because you don't have separate inputs for tweeters and mids.

 

is this ok now my friend??thanks for being patient!

 

Yes, that would be the way to go IMO. Did you run through the JL 9 Step process for setting your amplifier input sensitiviy on both amps?

 

I did set the gains on the amps by jl audio chart with my volt meter and played the test tracks i downloaded from there site.I dialed them in on how much voltage jl audio said to use for the jx amps.

 

Now i just need to work on the sub..It's a flat signal now.

 

Are you saying there's a problem with the sub, or are you just thinking you need to EQ it some for the sake of applying EQ to the sub? Normally, there's not much that needs done to a subwoofer if anything.

 

Oooh no problem with the sub..Im just trying to get some settings so i can feel the sub..It's on eq 7/8 it's flat...Was not sure where to start with freq and db gain.

 

I need some help with these settings just to get started..I know this is messed up..Please forgive my non tuning skills.

 

That is like anti bass. Zero dB gain would be fine across the board or maybe a dB or 2 from 45 to 65. You’ve essentially tuned ALL bass out of the subs.
