hi all -
i just bought a 99 4Runner.
it came with a pretty decent sound system (alpine stuff) that i can tell was properly installed (thick gauge wiring, excellent fuse protection, etc.)
so the sub is wired with a variable knob in the dash. if i want to increase the bass i can turn up the knob and vice-versa. the subwoofer is in the back of the truck. i haven't really checked it out in detail, but it appears to basically be a sealed enclosure with a single port. looks to be about 8"...probably 10" max.
the problem is that it's really "boomy". it has that kind of "rolling" vibrating bass that i don't really like. i'm more of a tight "punchy" bass kind of guy. if i try to increase the bass (for more punch) all i get is more boominess.
so, is there anything i can do to tighten it up?
thx!
