INSTALL THE AUDIO CONTROL EPICENTER TO RESTORE BASS

Installed the Audio Control Epicenter along with a new Crossover with a dash mounted knob,now with the epicenter I can add bass to a song that doesn't have any bass at all. This unit will filter the bass from any song played. If you want bass restored to a song then this is the unit for you. Just simply run a full range output from the radio to the epicenter and then run a set of rca's to your crossover or amplifer. #audiocontrol #bassboosted #bassunit #caraudio

I have the same soundstream I want to change to the epicenter, we'll is there a big difference in sound?

[@djronthemechanic3695]

With the Soundstream it did its job with the subsonic filter set , but AudioControl equipment is worth it. It puts bass back into songs that don’t have any.

[@ABANDONEDBOYZGLOBAL]

Salute 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@franciscoortega3894]

Good morning, bro, will you have a diagram of how you connected the epicenter and the crossover? If it is an original stereo from a 2016 Nissan Murano, then I will connect a bass amplifier and a voice amplifier.

[@djronthemechanic3695]

If you are using your Factory radio , I would suggest using the AudioControl LC2i Pro 2 channel line out converter. The input will come from the speaker wires from the rear speakers to the converter. The converter will have a main and bass output, this will allow you to connect 2 amplifiers.

[@onbandet]

It sure looks great, but the manual says, "The Epicenter Concert Series must be installed in the signal path between a source and an external amplifier(s). Although it can be installed after an equalizer, it must be installed BEFORE A CROSSOVER."

[@djronthemechanic3695]

@onbandet this is my old setup my new setup is way different, I have the Epicenter getting a full range signal from the rear outputs then that signal from the Epicenter is going into the crossover then the amplifier. For Songs with no Bass this device wakes those songs up!!!

[@JAMCJOfficial]

[@AyeYoStony321]

How do you hook up the crossover with a knob with a rca bass knob together

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Each equipment has its own connection

[@MrMister1227]

Do I need to re adjust amp gain after installing a epicenter?

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Nope not at all

[@capturedphoton]

So was it much better than sound stream? youtube search sucks I cant find the next vid on it

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Yes its way better than the sound stream.You can buy different low pass filters for the epicenter to change the cut off frequency for the bass. Plus you can custom mount the remote knob.

Is an audio control necessary if you run an aftermarket head unit? I keep reading how the epicenter keeps adding a white noise to systems.

It’s an option I haven’t had any problems with the epicenter, this is my old setup. I’ve changed my setup since.

[@evilinside5984]

Is your subwoofer enclosure in this video sealed, or ported? And if its ported, what is the tuning freq.?

I have a new ported box that is tuned to 32hz

[@evilinside5984]

@@djronthemechanic3695 If you are running rated power, or less, to your subwoofers, in your 32Hz tuned enclosure, i think a 25Hz pfm module would be a great match. What do you think?

@evilinside5984 worth a try

[@d.j.9961]

I've always ran a Cadience Qxr 7 line driver with the 7v line driver, front, rear, & sub chnl eq but, having the 7v line driver really helps though, there are 14v line drivers as well which would really make most any amp pound much harder & allow you to turn your gains way down!!!! Technically, I beleive you could tune your 4 chnl & your sub amp off of just one of those crossover devices!. Are those computer fans???? I had to use a automotive fan for a while back in the day! I'm also interested in seeing your power supply.

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Hey D.j. right now I have the stock Alternator holding at 13.9 to 13.7 when the bass drops, I have the big three zero gauge plus a XS power battery in the trunk on a isolator . I have plans on getting the new alternator soon plus sound deadening the trunk.

[@FJTabb]

So do I run my RCAs from the sub output from the radio or should I run the rear outputs to the epicenter???

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Use the rear outputs , make sure that the rear outputs are set to full range

[@FJTabb]

@@djronthemechanic3695 thanks!

[@pyukumuku9599]

Is it epicenter first then matrix plus or the other way around? Or are they not together?

[@djronthemechanic3695]

I have the matrix plus first then the epicenter.I have a full range coming into the matrix then sending it out to the epicenter for the subs

[@djronthemechanic3695]

The correct way is Radio , Epicenter, crossover, then amplifier

[@SG-Cichlids]

When installing an epicenter. Do not use a sub output off your head unit unless you can turn off the low pass crossover in the sub settings. Epicenter needs a full range signal to work properly.

[@djronthemechanic3695]

@SG-Cichlids that installation has been corrected, I have a totally new setup now .

[@SG-Cichlids]

@djronthemechanic3695 I only mentioned it for people that watch the video interested in using an epicenter. I also should have mentioned that if your box is tuned high. Like 38 hertz or higher. If people don't know what their tuning if it's pre fab is probably 40-45 hertz. Do not use an epicenter. It can and more than likely will cause damage to your sub.

[@djronthemechanic3695]

@@SG-Cichlids thanks , my subwoofer box is tuned to 33hz . I tried one of those pre fab boxes before and didn’t like the tuning.

[@SG-Cichlids]

@djronthemechanic3695 again that was for people that might read this trying to get some info on the epicenter. My son has the same box as you. It does pretty good. The only thing I've noticed is at rated power I had to turn the sub sonic filter to about 35 hertz to keep it from bottoming out.

You aren't supposed to run the sub output into the epicenter input

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Hey when I first bought this unit the Technician at Audio Control told me to run a full range output from the radio to the input of the epicenter and the output to my crossover. Besides this setup you seeing is old check out my new audio setup.

[@emmanuelhumphrey3701]

U can run the subwoofer out from the head unit to the input of epicenter. When u do that,make sure u max out the low pass digital built in crossover that is in the head unit. If u don't do that then the epicenter will not work properly.

[@drjd2real]

@emmanuelhumphrey3701 It depends on your head unit. I have a Kenwood dmx 1057xr that gives me the option to run a full signal through the sub output.
