when i first turn on my sterio for like 4 seconds or so there is no bass at all...nothing just regular sound....then after the 4 seconds or it sounds normal like it should, bass and everything....its been like this since i got it about 2 months ago...well after the bass would kick it it would sound great...now im steadily loosing my bass, i only play it like 3 notches past the middle, and if the song actually has some good bass like a rap song or someting i actually turn it down to keep my speakersworking good....whats this about? does it happen to anyone else? thanks guys

 

The delay is totally normal. I assume you're playing your highs through the head unit so you don't notice it there.

The delay is caused my the protection relays in the amp "checking things over" before it powers up. This usually takes a few seconds. As far as "losing bass" goes, that's a totally separate issue.

Give us some more details about your setup. What amp, speakers, sub, wiring info, etc.

 

all stock mach 460 in a 03 GT when i say losing bass, i mean it isnt as deep as it was when i first bought the car...i dont "abuse" teh bass, i keep it like 5 notches away from full usually

 

Buy a headunit and some new speakers.

 

That still didn't tell me anything about your amp, sub, or wiring. I wanna try to help, but ya gotta fill me in!

 

stock mach 460 on in a 03 gt

 

try putting your ear down next to the subs and see if they are rattling. My drivers side is bad but it is only effected on some songs it seems.

 

Sorry man. I wasn't thinking "bone stock". I'll be the first to admit that I know exactly nothing about the Mach setups. Didn't mean to badger ya.

 

oh its cool man...thanks for trying to help and sorry if i wasnt being clear enough...anyone else have any ideas?
