RTi12 bass

[chaos24]

now we all know that 6 seven inch woofers should produce alot of snappy , in your face bass..well my 12's do not produce great bass until i crank my reciever up to about -5db...before i got my second adcom i had my first one driving my bottom end of my speakers....still lacking in the bass ....when i got my other adcom and put them in mono and made my own jumpers out of 12gauge speaker wire..there was just a slight improvement in the bass....what am i doing wrong...i dont want to use my subs for 2 channel listning...i have my mains set to large and crossed over at 60hz...but even in pure direct mode they just do not pump until i raise my recievers dial to about -5db...any info would be appreciated

Did you use YPAO to set up?

I did with my new Rocket 760s and it cut bass -12dB at 80Hz. I had the same impression as well as shock and horror...whattya mean people are running these things without a sub?

The next day I re-ran the program with the EQ skipped.

There it was!! Crisp, clean, powerful bass, no need for a sub at all, and I only have 4 6.5" so hopefully this is your problem as well.

And yes, I thought Direct bypassed all that stuff, but apparently it doesnt.

You can go to your manual setup and change from PEQ to GEQ and leave it all flat, that is what really got it going for me.

Did you make sure your left, right, and sub are all in phase?
