    Default does this happen

    ok ill start of with telling you what i have for my car audio wise
    i have 2 12in pioneer subs 800watt
    2 stremeline 1000 watt amps one will be bridged for subs
    sony explode 6x9 300watt for the rear parcel shelf
    sony explode 6.5in 300 watt for boot
    and another set of speakers i donno wat they are yet cause they arw a chrissy pressy they are 6in tho that all i know
    and some noname headunit
    all needs to be installed
    but my question is if i have the speakers next to the subs in the sub box will the bass drown out the speakers cause what i am going for is like i can pop the boot and yeh everyone can hang around it so it will have bass and music playing ive been told it the bass will drown out the music by my step dad and the guy in the audio shop sed he wassnt sure but he sed you should pur the boot soeakers on the inside of the boot lid so when u pop the boot they will face right at you im not to keen on the idea tho enyone know if it will be drowned out or what i can do to make it work the way i want to to??
    oh and the other amp will power the boot speakers and the 6x9 the other pair i will run of the HU

    Would not even bother installing the rears..

    The Sound Wave interference will depend on how you have got your sub box tuned.... if the rear speakers are coned from underneath etc.... plus will depend on how you set your gains etc on your sub.

    Amplifier gain control is not a volume knob that determines the maximum volume. As long as the head units signal (which runs down the RCA cords) has sufficient power the amplifier is able to produce its maximum power output level.
    It's a matter of getting the full volume range of the head unit to match the full output range of the amplifier(s).

    "GAIN" controls do exactly that, also used to match other amplifiers in the system (in the case of a multi-amp system). Different Head Units have different maximum preamp output voltage. Some are capable of producing 9 volts on their preouts while others are only of 1.5 volts.

    Most head units will reach their maximum just before the volume control reaches the upper end of its range (usually at a point of 85-90% of its maximum range).

    Assuming your amplifier is the right power for the speakers (around the same as their rating), the proceedure of setting the gains is not overly difficult. First you set everything onto zero. All amplifier gains turned right down and all head unit boosters (like the loudness button) should be off.

    1)Turn your deck up full volume, then back it off to about 85-90% (eg if your Alpine deck goes to 35, bring it up and then back off to 33-34)
    2) on the amplifier, slowly bring the gain up until the distorting becomes audible. Once it's audible, turn it back ever so slightly and that is your gain set for that amp.
    REMEMBER if your amplifier output is much higher than your speakers rating (e.g. running 50 watt speakers with a 500 watt amplifier) the amp will destory the speakers before it begins to distort
    It can be difficult to set the gains when there is more power available than the speakers can handle.


    You have now insured the entire volume range of the head unit (e.g. 0-35 on Alpine head units) matches the entire volume range of the amplifier. In multiple gain / mulitple amplifier situations, usually recommend setting the midrange amplifier first as is it easiest to hear distortion through midranges (human ears are most sensitive to 1000-2000hz).

    Definetly mount the boot speakers in the actual boot lid. You will need to build a slimeline enclosure that is fixed to the boot lid. This creates seperation away from the subs. Going this way will defenitly not drown any music from them out. Mounting the speakers next to the sub isn't going to kill ALL the music but it is certainly going to damage the sound quality from it.
    You put you left foot in, your put your right foot in , you take your left foot out and you slide it all about!
