Hello all I currently have a BXi1206D pushing 2P3's with the below settings:

Level ( 9V - 0.2V ) @ just above the 0.2v

Phase ( 0 - 180 ) @ 0

Bass EQ (0 - 10dB ) @ just about 3/4 to 10

Subsonic( 15 - 35Hz ) @ just after 1/2

Low pass ( 35 - 250Hz ) @just after 1/2

I also have an Alpine CDA 9886 with imprint. Imprint EQ set to 7 band.

The problem is that my low bass is not very good at all but the high bass kicks a bit to hard so I don't get the nice smooth bass. I tried some configs but not getting the sweet spot.

Can you help?

What is the enclosure? If it's ported, what is the tuning?

The Box is ported, to be honest my Cousin got the box for me and said this should do as the box is in a SUV.

need to know the volume of the box and the port dimensions (diameter if it's round, height and width if it's rectangular and the length) to determine if it's appropriate for the subs you have. The box is most important in a subwoofer system and will make the bass great, good, ok, bad or crap! A well designed box with a cheap sub will always outperform an expensive sub in a crappy box!

1/2 way on the low pass will put it about 110Hz. Turn it down to around 70Hz. Once I had a box that had to be run at a 60Hz low pass setting in order to get rid of an anoying buzz in the higher bass notes. Like the previous poster stated, the box makes a big difference.

Get rid of imprint and tune to what sounds good to your ears. More often than not, imprint doesn't work properly.
