Do the 6*9 speaker upgrade and you won't need to.
I’m not sure what is wrong with others H/K subs but no 6x9 would hit like the stock sub in my truck his.
The 6*9's add enough mid-bass that you turn down the bass on the EQ and when it all works together as a system it sounds cleaner and hits harder.
Well said.
You're right. But professional balanced sound will take a lot more than unplugging the factory sub and replacing the 6x9's. I'm not sure there are many of us who want to spend the kind of money it will take to achieve true professional balanced sound. I'm actually very pleased with my factory HK system.
Absolutely. But doing those two things sure gets you a LOT closer to a quality sound system.
Furthers my point about how badly Ram balanced the HK system. If your bass slider lives it's entire existence at or below the '0' line, then the system is not balanced correctly. Having only a 3-band EQ you're missing out on much more than just super low frequencies. You're messing with all your lows and some lower mids. Clouding the entire mix.
An external amp won’t make the stock sub perform any better. The system is already set for the proper power going to that sub.
As am I. I may try building a new box for the stock subwoofer as its a fairly easy thing to do. It might help, it might not. I am sure it will cut down on the resonating. There is plenty of room behind the rear seat to make a better box for the oem sub. The frequencies going to the sub wont change, but I feel the performance of it will. Its on my list of things to do.
Thank you
Yes. But I would also use a DSP on that signal because the factory boosts certain frequencies.
Sounds plenty good to me.
