Walmart Jensen 12” Subwoofer Set Up !! 🔈

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

I had a Jensen setup back in the late 90's. Jensen 300w Amp and two 10" Jensen subs. I had a 110w Radio Shack Optimus Amp and a pair of Radio Shack 3 way 6x9 speakers as well.

[@almartinelli5054]

The subwoofer setting on the radio is not controlling anything unless the output rca on the rear of the unit is used. The amplifier in this particular situation is not the best choice. Keep that 4 ch for the other speakers in the car, front and rear. Get the other Jensen amp that you had, the monoblock and hook that to the sub out on the radio and the sound will blow your mind. Jensen is inexpensive but decent. Try it with the box laying down with the woofer facing up with the wide portion or the bottom of the box up against the rear wall of the trunk or up against where the rear of the seat would be facing backwards. The bass giggles are sooo relatable. Kicker is way better than Jensen and Dual. Subwoofers need power to sound good. RMS power is what matters, peak ratings are for marketing. Another fun video. Thanks guys.

[@almartinelli5054]

As far as songs go, search Bass 305, Techmaster PEB and DJ Magic Mike. All are available on youtube. Keep the song clips short and you shouldnt run into copyrigjt strikes. It wouldnt hurt to credit the artists in the video info.

[@gone84328]

The system we all thought about running, but too afraid to try. Much respect for this video. I remember my buddy and I built a 2.5in slot port box for one of those subs as a joke. We have a fair amount of experience with other brands at high price points and performance, and we were actually super impressed by the output that little sub had in our box at probably only 500w or less. Definitely an underrated system. I ended up throwing 3kw at it one day to see what would happen and it promptly blew up. But for how inexpensive and accessible it is, it’s really solid to say the least.

[@great_coffee89]

You guys videos always crack me up! Keep them videos coming. Thanks for testing and showing affordable bass! 🤘🏽

[@enjoythesho1992]

Those subs for the price actually sound good I had 2 a while back on a 1000 watt amp and they hit decent

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

For that subwoofer (single 4 ohm voice coil/300w rms) you could also use the Jensen xda92rb (2 channel amp from your other video.) It can be bridged to 4 ohm and is rated to put out 240w rms at 4 ohm that way, plenty for that sub. Just + to + and - to - and boom, 4 ohm, bridged, 240w rms (The following is for anyone else reading, cause you guys know this now) On those Jensen amps, the master volume setting on the app is the gain. The "gain" in the xover settings is a bass boost so just leave that on 0. Anyway, for crossover settings set it to 80hz (LPF only) with the slope setting at -18dB, or -12dB on the Jensen app and the slope setting on headunit to an additional -12dB, so thats -18dB slope just on the app or -24dB from the amp's app + headunit slope. My favorite is -24dB slope, it just sounds cleaner imo. On headunit make sure to set the subwoofer level at max, thats your RCA voltage, you need that. Just careful with any bass boost settings, those on 0 always to avoid any distortion which kills subs

[@TNG11Automotive]

Wow thank you for the information as its super helpful! 😁 we will definitely look into these settings!

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

[@DerekDouglas-wj5ux]

I had two of them 12s i loved the way they sounded on 300.2 amp

[@juliobello4561]

Remember my first system Sony xplod silver pushing a pair of 8inch kicker cvr old models each on there own sealed box under seat. Sounded nice. Now I have soundstream rubicon 1002 amp got it for $60 bucks in 2017 and pair of 12 soundstreams T4 $200 pair . And ported box single 12 for $60. Nvx OFC 4 gauge wire. So far has been in service in my 2015 Camry. Me and my gf we love playing it loud on long runs one time we had road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas we played loud and proud all the way the amp did stop playing for a second because it was 110 degrees in Las Vegas but then it kick back and we kept playing lol. Ever since no issues. Have fun guys gain in your stereo keep it 0db and amp level try to keep it 3/4 is just the basic adjustment you can apply that in home audio too.

[@stylze5767]

TUNING SUGGESTION: from front seats it sounds clean but from the trunk pov it definitely sounds distorted. but with youtube audio compression who knows. However if the amp has subsonic filter i highly suggest using it. id set it at 45 hz or so. what subsonic does is at whatever hz you set it to any hz lower than that it will send less watts to the sub to keep you from blowing the sub when you have your gain and bass boost set as high as it is. I really love your channel the budget minded attack on sound. tired of all these channels saying cheap and budget then throw a $200 sub in a $400 box keep up the relatable content!

[@TNG11Automotive]

Ahhh okay thank you for the information! 😁 will keep that in mind ! And were glad you like our channel !! we do our best to make everything cheap cheap ! 😁 and budget friendly and ofcourse enjoyable!

These jensens arent bad bro! I blew mine up on my xda91rb . Thats the 1200 peak jensen amp lol. It took it for a few weeks and went up in smoke. I got the power acoustic Gothic 12 to replace it and that thing takes a beating! So so loud

You have to BRIDGE THE AMP. THE SPEAKER WIRES ON AMP NEED TO GO LIKE THIS + ON THE LEFT CH. + AND THEN - ON THE RIGHT CH. -

[@ActiveHoodrat]

You guys need a mono block amplifier . Also get a dual voice coil subwoofer so you can lower the OHM load and grab more power from the amp . And a ported box . I think Best Buy has a decent ported box for cheap

[@TNG11Automotive]

We will have to get our hands on one soon !

[@mau5lover2000]

So, when you guys went to the trunk, I can definitely hear that the audio from the sub is 8n fact distorted a bit and the LPF Low PASS Filter which is a setting to set a certain range of frequencies to go to the Amp so on the head unit go to the subwoofer lpf and see what frequency it is set for I think it needs to be lower than what it is a good setting for that is roughly 25hz or whatever the lowest frequency the sub is rated for

[@TNG11Automotive]

ohhh okay will forsure have to look into that , i hope we did a better job than previous videos ? 😅

[@mau5lover2000]

@TNG11Automotive lol don't feel bad, we all learn things as we go along I've done 3 setups now on my own and I learned that the subsonic setting on the amp is basically a Hpf High pass filter and in my current setup I found that with the lpf on the head unit set to off and both the lpf and the subsonic on the amplifier turned all the way down gives me the best experience I heard you say that some songs wouldn't bump as good as other songs and I too was having that issue, I listen to a lot of 80s rock and metal and before I made the change I would always be changing eq settings to try to get that nice deep bass cuz even some rock does have deep bass kicks and I wasn't getting that before and now with those changes I made turning off the lpf on the head unit and then turning the lpf and subsonic all the way down now my rock music and all other music sounds amazing and its nice and deep just how I like it of course the deepness varies but even songs that Don't have a lot of bass now have a nice kick to them and I'm running two 10 inch kicker comp vr subs which are dual voice coil subwoofers and I have them wired down to 2 ohms and I'm powering them with a DB drive 1.5k monoblock amplifier it's 1,500 watts very nice compact size and drives them very well. Hope all my knowledge helps you along 🙏 definitely love helping others

[@TNG11Automotive]

Oh wow and yes its very useful! Thanks for taking the time and sharing all your knowledge! we will have to look into those settings to get better audio results! 😁

Free bass songs that knock

[@erinfitzgerald5559]

Never turn the amp all the way up set it half way and the bass knob or deck as well and ajyst from there cuz remember there is a break in period so u can loosen the sub up so the vouce coil doesn't overheat and put the lp crossover on about 70hz which is about the average for most subs and turn bass boost off unless u want to or if needed and from there u can adjust to your liking nice setup i had 2 of them on a power acoustik razor rzr2500.1 and it pounded if u can put that sub in a ported box and u will double the sound have fun

We plan on trying all the amplifiers walmart has to offer and were curious to see if this one would make a difference than the previous one since the peak watt was more , however rms remained the same , we now hope to get out hands on the last one .. The mono block 😁

[@btlmovements2548]

I'd recommend 100hz for a 12 inch sub and tbh u gotta adjust the amp settings correctly or I can get distortion and shit which will actually kill performance

[@Cole-ij7fo]

Don't forget cliping too! Even if it's not a lot of power but clipping is clipping and will destroy your sub sooner than later.

[@emeryshaw4571]

I use 70hz for the sub.. 70-250hz for midbass (2 8's)

[@JasonWW2000]

60hz to 80hz is pretty common depending on the slope. As you go higher you start to get more vocals coming through. Its all personal preference, though. Adjust by ear.

[@Zachecker]

ported box will hit harder i had the same schoche and it was not the best trust me you will feel it in your chest better than the kicker. LPF stands for (Low Pass Filter) It just filters out notes above where it is set. its mainly for bass so if you have it on 80hz it will play 80-0hz without filter but anything above 80hz will be filtered out.

[@TNG11Automotive]

Got it will say the correct translation next time! 😁 and yess im sure a ported would be brutal 😳

[@JasonWW2000]

Remember that the filters have a slope on it. Setting it at 80hz will allow 20hz to 80hz, then it starts reducing output at a 12dB slope. So it's still playing 90hz, 100hz, etc... it just reduces the volume of those upper frequencies. The higher the frequency, the more the reduction.

[@TNG11Automotive]

Higher frequency… meaning the 12 db ? or the 80hz ? 🤔

[@JasonWW2000]

​​​@@TNG11AutomotiveFrequency is how many times something moves per second. In this instance we are talking about how many times the speaker cone cycles or moves per second. So a frequency of 20 hertz means the cones moves 20 times per second. This is super slow and is very low bass. 80hz is the cone moving/cycling 80 times per second. This is upper bass frequencies. (40hz-45hz is the bass frequency most people like and is what most people think of when talking about bass) So frequency is like the tone or pitch of the sound. DB is decibels. This is how loud a sound is. It's volume level or amplitude. 60 dB is like a whisper. 75 dB is like normal talking volume, etc... So when you have a LPF (low pass filter) it's letting the low frequencies pass. If the LPF is set to 80hz then it reduces the volume level of the frequencies higher up. It reduces the higher frequencies at a certain rate. These different rates it can ramp down the volume level is the slope. A 6db slope is shallow and will allow more vocals to be heard (when set to 80hz). A 12db slope ramps down the volume of the higher frequencies more quickly. So less vocals. A 18db slope ramps it down even quicker. Almost no vocals will be heard. If you go into your amp settings and change the crossover slope between 6, 12 and 18 you'll hear the difference. Steeper slopes, like 18 and 24, can sometimes be better, but you really have to use your ears and choose what sounds best.
