How do I tune my car subwoofer amps so one amp performs at a lower frequency than the other?
I have four twelves but two are at a higher watts level and both 2 ohm.I notice during some songs I don’t hear certain levels of bass.
Unless you have an oscilloscope and a lot of other electronics equipment and are really good at using them, you are not going to get good bass response by mixing subs. When you mix subs you are going to have strange frequency responses. That is why it is not recommended.
What you are hearing (or not hearing) is most likely cancellation. This is due to your two subs cancelling out your other two subs. This makes the lack of bass at some frequencies that you are hearing.
Your best option is to get rid of two subs and just run two of the same subs. That will give you the best sound quality and best overall SPL.
Good Luck!!!
