i want a speaker system that will pump out some major bass but i dont want the music to be drowned out by it. I still want to be able to understand whats being said
for a car.......
Answer
There is a reason why subs are called subs and mids called mids and highs called highs.
If you want to build a system correctly and you want good bass WITHOUT distrotion then you have to have a bass speaker only do bass. I know everyone is going to say no but is been done this MANY times in the past of putting an AMP on the factory radio and speakers and adding a sub with sub AMP is the most inexpensive way to go and it sounds GOOD. Wont win any contest for SPL of clarity but for the money and just starting out this is a super easy way to go. NOW there are some stipulations to this: 1. Factory speakers do not need to be any more than 6mos to a year old. 2. speakers can not be amplified say like a BOSE system. Most of those have 1 OHM speakers in them anyway. 3. Radio sometimes radio can not have pre-amp out put for speakers. The voltage is to low and an aftermarket amp will not work well with it.
I have a NEW 2008 Toy Taco that I plan on putting a 4 channel amp in to run the whole system. 2 channel, left and right, to run front and rear speakers putting left speakers and right speakers together to make 2 ohm so the amp will run harper on 2 channels. On the other side it will be only the sub bridged at 4 ohms. Both sides will have crossovers so only mids and highs go to factory speakers and the other side will be set to low/sub so only bass goes to sub woofer. I dont think they make a dash kit for my veh so i will be using the factory radio also. Right now if you turn the volume up you can hear the bass coming thru the mids distorting the sound even with bass almost all the way down.
now it also depends on what type of veh you have to know what type of sub you need. Bandpass or basstube does not always work on all vehs.
Well that was kind of long but figured I would explain in full my thought process. Hope it helps. Good luck.
Oh and I have been doing alarms, audio and video in vehs for about 15 years.
Can i connect a car subwoofer and amplifier to a PA speaker system?
Derek
I have a PA speaker system which is very loud and has great sound but has absolutely no bass. However, I also have a 15 Alpine Type R car subwoofer powered by a Kenwood 1800 Watt Mono car Amp. I would love to be able to connect this sub and amp to my PA system to create a great sound system for my house but I have no idea how to do it or if it is even possible... Can anybody help?
Answer
Yes, this can be done but things to consider is 1) How to power the car amp in your house? You could bring a cr battery in but that's only going to suppy the electrical current you need for a short time, then you will need to recharge it. My suggestion would be to invest in a "Regulated Power Suppy" to convert your house 120vac current to DC current like your car's electrical provides. Also to get the max power from you kenwood amp to you alpine car sub, you're going a power supply capable of delivering between 13.5 -14.4 volts DC which is the average range for most car electrical alternator voltage and what your car amp need to produce max power. ) Then ther's the matter of feeding the signal from your PA to you car amp. The safest way for this would be to use a "Line Level" signal say from the rec , or Record out jacks usually Red & White (RCA) type to the "Line In" Inputs of your car amp. After that it's just a matter of playing your music through your PA and adjusting the level on you kenwood to match your listening preference. Just remember when you increase the volume of the PA you may need to increase the level on your car amp as well since you are feeding a line level signal from the PA to the car amp. the PA volume control will not have and effect on the amp volume. In short what you want to do can indeed be done but there are easier ways to add the bass you want to you PA. Hope this helped you out.You may email me if you like at rudedog5876@gmail.com for some other options you want to consider.
