For those with an aftermarket system....
When you added an aftermarket subwoofer, did you take out the stock sub as well or keep it in for a "mid" bass type set up?
As it stands, I replaced my entire system with Alpine components, but haven't gotten around to taking out, or disconnecting the stock sub. I made sure to have my Alpine subwoofer face the same direction as the Pioneer as well. Any problems with this? |
took mine out put in a scosche converter off the sub wires an then ran RCAs from that the the amp an then ran a remote up to a wire in the fuse box
|
I took mine out also. I didn't want to take the chance of blowing it. If you have good 6 by 9's, you wont hear the 8" sub anyways. The 6 by 9's should be your mid bass.

how did you go about removing it? the bolts are backwards and i couldn't fit a socket over the extending bolt...can anyone help me out?
|
u need the long ass extension
|
^^^
Yeah like a 8" or bigger extention and a 10mm deep socket, you know the ones that are like 2-2 1/2" long |
Is there a problem with leaving it in the trunk? Just curious cuz I was just gonna leave mine in as well.

yea definitely disconnect it and the only reason why i want to take mine out is because my trunk space is already limited and the more i can get the better haha

causes cancellation... hece why its never recommended to mix differerent seires/size/power subs in a single car. If subs arent the same the will move slightly different and begin to cancel. Some people take it to the extreme and leave the stock sub. build a large sealed enclosure with 4 random subs of different sizes and throw a tiny ported box to the side. In the end all that ghetto rigged shit sounds bad and isnt as loud as a system thats planned out and done right

but yea, if you have decent 6x9s... the sub might not be as noticeable, but still very important. Lets see your 6x9s hit like a 20hz signal. |
unless you have a dedicated midbass driver or some badass speakers i would do the subs at 80-90hz. sound starts getting directional at about 50hz but in reality most speakers cant play that low well and crossing the sub that low would give u less output regardless
|
Unless like you said you have midbass drivers to fill the gap from the 50hz to whatever the tweeters are set at
|
right to fill the gap from the midrange.
