I'm looking for some help on basic sound principals & tuning. I've done a bunch of reading on here, but I'm not sure I fully understand how everything works.
This is how my system is set up:
Car is a 2008 Pontiac G5 with base stereo (not factory upgrade).
I have an LOC spliced into my front speakers. Each channel is going to the correct output channel on the LOC, to retain Balance features. I'm using a stock head-unit.
RCA's are connected to this amp:
Audio System - Products - F2 190
Amp is connected to Kaption CLX-602 6" 2-way (iirc) speakers.
My questions are this:
What should I have the cutoff frequency for the speakers set to? I don't have a sub ATM (the last one got a screwdriver through it), but I will be adding one or two in the near future.
Next question:
I've read a little bit on here about massloading. Does that basically mean stuffing the empty space behind panelling with foam? If so, does it matter what type of foam it is?
TIA
Nathaniel.
