SnyperX's Stereo Upgrade Thread

Here's the problem as many already know... the rolloff of all the speakers is bad and the sub just doesn't see the full low range it needs. We can get a lot of mid-bass but not low bass. Nothing we can do on the head unit "eq" nor the gain on the sub can fix bad signal from the source. UNLESS we add a line-output converter that corrects for rolloff!

Did you already override the head unit EQ in Forscan to try and get a “flat” signal out of it?

I don’t know if that will help get you enough signal voltage for your amp, but I would recommend that tweak before depending on DSP to put back what the head unit is intentionally taking away.

I haven't! I was worried that the dash tweeters or tiny rears would distort if they saw full range. It is worth a shot though, before trying another LOC

Anyone else had success on a flat eq and add a sub on a non B&O?

The dash and rear speakers all have capacitors hard-wired at the speakers themselves, so there is some protection, but I'm sure you can smoke them if you are really trying.

To clarify, a DSP is a great idea in general - and should help protect the smaller drivers; it's just that the stock signal is a poor starting point. I am planning to set the factory EQ to flat before I use the DSP in my Kicker Key.

You're right, it's worth a shot! Now I just have to wait until the next time my daughter is in town.
