Hey guys, so i've got a r34 GTT. and with the help of this forum a few months ago i installed and tuned it. Pretty much my "system" is:

4 speakers - 2 front 2 rear

1 sub woofer

1 1200 W Amp - 4 channel

1 Head deck

.

I have amped the two front speakers to the amplifier's front ports

And i have amped the subwoofer to the amplifiers rear ports bridged.

the two rear speakers are connected to the head deck still.

On the head deck i have all bass settings set to as minus as they can get (to avoid the front speakers distorting from bass)

The amp has the gain for bass set at about 3/4 and for the front speakers at half way.

The issue is, I have bass when the system is turned up really loud, however, at lower or normal volumes there is no bass at all. I can tell the front speakers are trying to make a bass sound but dont. and the sub is pretty much not putting any bass through.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks heaps.

Why don't you set the bass setting on the head unit to 0 and then set the gain on the amp accordingly?

Turn off all bass boost options (including loud). On the amp, set HPF for the front channel, set LPF for the rear channel. If you have the option of setting your rears as sub on your head unit, do it. Crank it up and tune accordingly (close all your doors/windows lol).

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
