  1. Apple Carplay and volume

    Okay, so I've adjusted the volume when it was ringing, answered the phone (and turned it up for the conversation). At next ring it was at the higher volume (or so I recall, I may have to try this again). I'm using an official Apple cable as well. It'd just be nice if the ring volume was set...
  2. Apple Carplay and volume

    When I have my iphone plugged into the usb port and am using carplay, the volume of the incoming call ringtone and the speaking volume appear to be inseparable. So, when I talk on the phone, I usually have to set it to 27/28 ish to be able to hear the other person clearly, but if I don't...
  3. Awful Sound System On My New Civic

    The wikipedia article states that an "active crossover" is one that splits which is then sent to amplifiers/amplifier modules before sending the signal out. That's what I was going off of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_crossover#Active
  4. Awful Sound System On My New Civic

    Okay, so, the active crossover splits the signal and sends it to independent amplifier modules which then pass the signal on to the respective speaker. Is an active crossover a separate thing from the DSP or is it all intertwined?
  5. Awful Sound System On My New Civic

    So - to summarize: you believe the signal going from the head unit to the amp to be full-range/good quality (and non-standard optical?) you believe the DSP on the amp itself is what alters the signal and results in crappy sound you don't think it's the crossovers built into the amp that is...
  6. What's the factory sub weak point?

    Ahhhh. I have a factory sub model and that's how I was thinking about it.
  7. What's the factory sub weak point?

    But, if you do that, wouldn't you be sending only signals 80Hz and up to the sub? The front speakers are not full range and as such do not reproduce the bass frequencies - and if those are the source that you are sending through the LOC and to an amp, I think you'll be missing out on any low...
  8. What's the factory sub weak point?

    So, my understanding is that the lc2i does NOT do signal summing (see 4th response down by "audio control": https://www.caraudio.com/threads/audiocontrol-lc2i-can-it-sum.570100/). So, if you patch into the fronts you have a high-pass filter working against you, if you patch into the sub, you...
  9. What's the factory sub weak point?

    This isn't the first time i've heard Hondahack + Viper was the way to go, but is there any consensus on what options us iPhone users have? Also, does any other product besides itunes allow you to still access Siri/CarPlay or is that something people give up?
  10. Shifting into 2nd

    I'm quite happy with the feel of the shifter (stock fluid) except for going into reverse. I love the notchy feel, feels sort of like a bolt action in a rifle to me.
  11. Air conditioning condenser issue is real

    Has anyone condensed (great pun...get it?) the information in these threads into something more viewable by trim level and year? I'd be curious to see if the condensers failing are on non-turbo cars more often. The intercooler blocks the condenser, so it should protect it.
  12. 2018 Premium Audio System

    Ugh, good point. I should have remembered that. Well, my little experiment didn't work out too well. With the bass and sub all the way up, the stock amp barely had enough to make my 12 look like it was doing something. I was really thinking a sub which had a better chance to reproduce those...
  13. 2018 Premium Audio System

    Scopesys - is there ANY chance you somehow measured this incorrectly? I just cannot imagine that any amplifier company (Pioneer in this case right?) would agree to send a low-pass below 40 Hz for a 8 inch sub. I mean, I ran a higher x-over for my 12's. Additionally, were you able to...
  14. Dual mode coilovers?

    So...if it is still dual mode, does that mean the settings are: "normal" is the same "normal" as the si and the "sport" is the same "sport" as the type r?
  15. 2018 Premium Audio System

    I figured that was a good bet, but you never know! Thanks for the suggestions.
  16. 2018 Premium Audio System

    Oh my...not sure if I missed it or just ignored it, but I completely assumed the center speaker was for navigation voices or the DTS neural setting. I just assumed it was off otherwise. I ran out to my car and yeah...it is playing music. Crutchfield shows that it is a 3 1/2 " speaker. If...
  17. 2018 Premium Audio System

    Scopesys - thank you for all of the work you and the others have done trying to tease apart the civic "premium" audio system. I've read through it a couple of times, but it seems like there's really two options: 1. Use a LOC to add a real amp/sub, but this appears to still have some issues...
