Bass Options

[Mirez]

I've always thought the gal lacks and form of bass, I'm not talking about the type of booming base you hear in a mcdonalds carpark but just normal listening sound bass! My previous Mondeo's, the Focus and now the Golf have all had ample bass from factory but even with the bass on the headunit at max the Galaxys all middle and trebble

 

In the last galaxy I upgraded all the door speakers which, to be honest, did very little to improve the bass but did make the mid tones even more noticeable lol

 

Last time I looked at subs they were all massive, needed an extra amp and provided way more power then I could imagine. I've now discovered you can get slimline active ones and I'm wondering how good they are, if anyone else has one and if it'll fit under one of the front seats?

Hi Mirez

 

I thought that my Gal actually had reasonable Bass for a standard system, but thats not to say I wouldn't like a little more....

 

I did see a Alambra at a car thingy a few years back which had a sub and amp fitted in the rear right stowage panel in the boot. I think the CD changer had been removed (fancy head unit fitted) which freed up some space. It sounded damn good but was a lot of work.

 

I'm still strugling to work out why my fader just stopped workin about a year ago?

 

Never mind, can't often hear much over the roar of the monsters behind me... :D

Thats not a bad idea but I don't want to ditcth the nav unit so the changer needs to stay, although I could relocate that to under the seat I suppose. I've also contemplated fitting it into the boot panel as there is a load of room in there but waterproofing will be a challenge. The all-in-one jobby just looked like an extreamly easy way to add a little bass :D

 

As for your fader, if its the standard head unit thats lost the fader option then normally its missing a circuit, ie it thinks it only has one set of speakers attached. Check them and you'll probably find one of the speakers isn't actually working, repair that and it should pop back up on screen.
