To give you guys a backstory, previously to adding a dual 4 channel amp to power the speakers I had already installed a jc power 1000w amp to power 1x12 kicker comp R sub…no issues for over 2 years and bumped super hard. Fast forward to last week I decided to do try an installer from offer up he claimed to work on civics all the time and he knew the car perfectly well to know how to install an additional amp to power the the car speakers…oh yeah the car 4 car speakers are kicker as well…
after the install I listened to speakers and they were very loud idk about crisp but super loud but noticed the bass was barely noticeable. The OfferUp installer turned the gain up on the sub amp and back to normal. Now I came home shut The car off came back shortly just to check out the audio again and before the headunit turned out a an increasingly sound humming sound from the bass then it stopped …. Turned off the car and turned it back on the humming sound was present this time…waited for an hour to restart car and bam it was there again. Installer refused to come back and stated he said I need an lc7 or lc2 to avoid the issues.
went to the local shop to fix the issue and fixed .
I made an appointment that day to have an lc7i to be installed and relocate the amp the OfferUp guy did ( per the OfferUp installer best place was under the steering wheel ). After the shop installed lc7i and relocated 4 channel amp and removed all hi lo converters …sound was crisp and nice and the bass was hitting hard. Over all the audio at 75% sounds amazing….but I don’t always drive have the volume at 75%
issue that I currently have is , anytime I got from playing 50% to 25% the bass is present then at 25% the bass may cut out if I go lower it will cut off then I raise the volume back to 25% no bass, 30% no bass, 35% no bass etc until I reach 50% I may get the bass back depending on the song I’m playing. If I go above 50% bass kicks in …then drop to 25% and bass is present and I repeat the same process with the same outcome.
things I’ve tried lower the gain on sub amp, adjusted the lc7i to avoid distortion. Playing the accubass knob. Funny enough at 50% volume playing with the bass knob instead of the volume I get similar effects. When bass cuts out amp lights is still on.
if anyone has ran into any issues similar, I’m sure you guys haven’t let but worth a try. This situation baffles me because I just can’t figure it out and now the shop can’t either.
