How to Tune Your Subwoofer to Your System

In these easy to follow steps I will show you how to tune your car subwoofer to your taste

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Subwoofer
• Amplifier
• The know how - to hook them up!!!

1. Assuming your subwoofer is already in place and is hooked up to the amplifier Correctly
   
   Turn the gain all the way down on the amplifier - So you don't blow your newly installed subwoofers

2. Turn the volume all the way up on the head unit with a CD of choice until you hear distortion in the High's and Mid speakers, then back down the volume a touch so there is no distortion present

3. now if your head unit allows control of the bass then turn it up on the head unit before you turn up the gain on the amplifier - this is so you can have full control of how quiet or loud the bass is without having to adjust the gain controls

4. Next start turning up the gain slowly, until there is distortion and again turn down the gain a bit until you hear no distortion - this is the max level you should be sending to the subwoofers

5. play around with the head unit's (CD player's) bass controls until you find a volume for the subwoofers that suits your taste

Tips & Warnings

• Always read the manuals that came with your certain audio equipment so you know what sound you can make the subwoofer reproduce before blowing point
• Distortion is no good, if there is distortion turn down the gain and or volume a bit else you will hurt your speakers, head unit, amplifier!
