Resurrecting this thread. I recently installed an Alpine head unit and Rockford Fosgate speakers in the front as well as the sound bar. Over the weekend I plan to install the Rockford Fosgate PS-8 8" powered sub under the rear seat.
I've gotten some good info from this thread but have a few questions on head unit and the amplifier settings on the powered sub.
Amplifier Setting on Powered Sub:
Input Level Control (Min/Max) - Looks like this is used to match the sound going to the speakers. Is it best to set this about halfway and adjust as needed?
Variable Crossover (50-120Hz) - Set to 120Hz and set HPF and LPF on the head unit to 120Hz?
Head Unit Setting:
Slope (Flat/6/12/18/24) - I understand that this is the dropoff as the HPF and LPF approach 120Hz. Is it best just to play with the setting? Is this a micro adjustment that a non-audophile likely wouldn't pick out?
EQ - I'll adjust this to taste one band at a time as suggested
Time Correction - Is this another item that a non-audiophile likely wouldn't pick out?
Thanks!
