Great times😅

We sold it on, now it's fixed and has a new owner. Our new 2012 Jazz has a standard radio now and my dad doesn't want to change it because it works very well. Might have to convince him to change the speakers one time. He's an hifi nerd(just like me) so that will be easy. P.s. the accident happened because of an angry maniac, not a jealous guy.

[@djhappyemo]

As someone who owns an imported toyota I can confirm if you've worked on any toyota you are now certified, I say this because even though my 90s toyota is drastically different when it comes to working on them they are all so similar. Also having a Kenwood head unit is definitely the best choice if you're running a sub due to it's EQ settings and cutoff etc (mine has a built in DSP, even though it can be difficult to undestand once you get it it makes a world of difference).

[@thunder____]

A couple audio engineer notes re: the subwoofer Obviously if you're happy with it, there's no need to mess with it, but If you're having issues where the subwoofers are creating a lot of noise, hum, buzz, etc, you might want to try turning down the gain at the subs and turning up the volume at the bass knob (or elsewhere up the signal chain, idk what kind of EQ controls or whatever you've got on there). Analog cables are noisy, and cranking the gain at the end of the signal chain (the amp built into the subwoofer cabinet) means you're turning up all the noise introduced along the length of the cabling, so for purposes of signal-to-noise ratio, it's best to boost the signal level as early on in the signal chain as possible. You would get a more focused response (read: more low end) from the subs by turning down the cutoff frequency. The advantage of subwoofers is that they allow you to split up the frequency spectrum into ranges and send those ranges to speakers so that each speaker can just focus on its own range. 250 Hz is pretty high for a subwoofer cutoff frequency, and setting it that way means you're feeding stuff that isn't really low end into it, meaning the subwoofer has to worry about not only the low end but also some low midrange, thus splitting its focus and reducing the amount of low end you'll get out of it. It's definitely a balancing act, because setting the cutoff frequency too low means you're forcing the main speakers to handle some of the stuff that the subs should be handling. At the same time, if you're getting 120 dB SPL out of your system, you probably have nothing to worry about, but if you're looking to really put those speakers to the test, you might try playing with the cutoff frequency.

[@Luke-we9gj]

Initially I was gonna tell you to shush and let people have fun, but this is a genuinely good comment for giving that sub even more gutbusting bass. Good comment :)

@@Luke-we9gj Thanks! The way I see it, audio engineering is all about solving problems, so if there is no problem, there is no need for action, so I fully intend this as a guide for troubleshooting if there are problems like "that hum/buzz/etc is really annoying" or "I'm not getting as much low end as I want".

Shouldn't he run no cutoff on the sub and just do everything in the head unit? That's a valid config right? Otherwise thanks for explaining that quite well
