I have a 04 Silverado and the stereo always sounded great a lot of bass and clear. I got in one day and it sounds like the bass is off. I assumed it was the factory amp and replaced it and is still the same any suggestions?

Could potentially be a blown fuse in your trucks interior fuse box. I had a loose ground connection from mine and i hit a bit bump one time while driving and kept blowing the fuse when the connection would break. maybe worth checking those if u havent already

SOURCE: Not enough bass

its prolly the deck, did you try turning the alpine's input gain controls up...

its not the wiring, if the wiring was insuficient, it would just melt...

you might also see if you could adjust the bass frequencies or crossover frequency, the crv might just have a different resonant frequency then the rav 4

SOURCE: sub woofers dont give clear sound on high volume

THE AMPS PERFORMCE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE STATE OF THE BATTERY AND THE CONNECTION FROM THE AMP TO THE BATTERY, CONNECT THE AMP DIRECTLY TO THE BATTERY TO SEE IF THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST OUTSIDE THE CAR

SOURCE: JL 300/2 v2 Power Light Blinks, No sound out of Sub. Works in friends Car HELP

This is normally due to clipping of your sub. Try reducing your low pass frequency to half and volume gain on your amp to 1/2. Your amp circuitry is over-heating. It's not designed to run like that. Use minimal gain on your amp and use your head unit to increase your bass. Turn up your stereo 'til you begin to distortion from there adjust your gains to your listening volume.

SOURCE: subs not as loud as they should be plz help

RCA output level and speaker level output have different voltages and currents. The problem you are describing is common to folks trying to connect an OEM dash unit to an aftermarket amp. If your amp has speaker level inputs, try wiring to those......best bet..buy a new head unit, it'll sound better...louder and cleaner.

I bought a mtx terminator amp model no TNA251 600 watt and two subs installed. It works good for few days but now its not cranking up proper bass and sound. It always has three solid red lights everytime....

does it do this all the time when you turn it on? any sound at all?
provide more information, but my guess its that the amp is blown. replace it or sell it for parts.

Always make sure that your computer settings for audio are checked and set accordingly and that all the equlizers and audio programs that are installed and controlling your audio sound output are accounted for and adjusted properly.

New bass that has no sound when plugged in to amp.

Rememberthe switch for the battery is ACTUALLY the sleeve of your guitar cable. If the jack fails, the battery will not be connected. Unfortunately, these jacks take a lot of abuse. The jack is really a stereo jack and the connection of the "ring" of the Tip-Ring_Sleeve (TRS) female jack to the "sleeve" connection is what grounds the battery for operation.

Mistakenly using a stereo audio cable will also cause this problem.

Use a good quality instrument cable, preferably gold plated plugs. Bad cables cause a LOT of these problems!

Sony MDR-EX36V Stereo Headphones - No Bass or Stereo Sound

for the bass check your eq on your player (make sure it not off or default)..for the stereo effect you might have yanked the wire a bit from the ear piece or even the plug piece to cause the non stereo ....earbuds get caught on a lot things and we just keep movin and doin until its to late...

Need to hook up bass system to 1999 ford explorer can anyone assist me

Probably need an installer - depends on yr/make/model of car - stereo and wiring diagram for sub system. There are lots of questions need answering and if not installed properly, you can certainly damage the stereo, sub system. Subs use a lot of power and improper wiring could cause problems, even fires !

Bass sounds muddy and volume is minimum.

Hello mercedesman4,

Your setup sounds great. I had to settle for Blaupunkt in my Mercedes.

It sounds like the culprit is your enclosure. It's possible that by tweaking the settings, you could improve the sound somewhat, but having been used to the sound of a sealed enclosure, maybe not. Sealed enclosures tend to produce tighter, more accurate bass and have a flatter frequency response curve. They are also generally the enclosure of choice when looking for a SQ (sound quality) oriented setup.

Ported enclosures will produce louder bass than sealed enclosures, and maybe that's why some audio guys push them. They also allow the speaker to operate more efficiently, so you need less amp power for a given volume. Higher tuning on a ported box will get louder, but at the expense of sound quality. Lower tuning will still get louder than a sealed box, and the sound quality will be better than a box tuned higher, but still not as good as sealed. That's what I meant about tweaking the settings. You may see some improvement by setting the crossover lower, decreasing bass boost, or by turning the subsonic filter on/off. I'm no audiophile, but personally I've never been able to stand the sound of a ported enclosure, however it was tuned. Sealed just sounds better.

Hope this helps.
