    Thumbs up Bass Mod for Factory Amp

    The sub-amp is in the trunk next to the battery.

    Remove all the covers, slide fingers below amp and feel for gain control and give it a turn.



    Info provided by vhato, thanks

    Bias? You mean gain right?

    Biasing in electronics is the method of establishing predetermined voltages and/or currents at various points of a circuit to set an appropriate operating point.

    The operating point of a device, also known as bias point or quiescent point (or simply Q-point), is the point on the output characteristics that shows the DC collector-emitter voltage (Vce) and the collector current (Ic) with no input signal applied. The term is normally used in connection with devices such as transistors.


    Probably has nothing to do with it, but other pep's called it that, way before I. lol

    I disrupt the flow when it's not right... That is the gain control...

    From wiki...

    In electronics, gain is a measure of the ability of a circuit (often an amplifier) to increase the power or amplitude of a signal. It is usually defined as the mean ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of the same system. It may also be defined as the decimal logarithm of the same ratio.

    Thanks!!! This really woke it up. And turning off the eq is even better yet.

    I found out that after I turned up the amp. I also adjusted the eq by turning off the preset settings and adjusting the manual bass around 4 + and the treble around 5 -. Then I turn the preset eq on to the rock setting and it makes a big difference. You have to keep turning off the preset stuff and adjusting the manual settings. When I was finished, it sounded soo much better. It got me to hold off on modding my stereo.

    I thought the bass didn't sound too bad in my car, some songs actually had a good thump to them. I thought I would try this yesterday. Once I attempted to adjust it, I figured out it was already all the way up. Oh well...
