RCD510 + DYNAUDIO: Missing some bass...
« on: 19 October 2009, 14:04 »
Got the RCD510 plus DYNAUDIO, but im missing some bass "umpf". Anyone upgraded their system with a 10" or 12" sub? probably the shallow ones, to occupy less space in the boot? any forum topic im missing?! gracias!

The only time I get proper 'oomph' that your taking about is when I listen to the radio funnily enough. It's not bad with the memory card, ipod or CD, its just the Radio is much better.

You'll probably get a much better response asking that question in the ICE section (Car Audio)

These are not cheap but will sound fabulous....

They do quite a range of aftermarket kit to consider....

Yeah, they're alittle excessive I suppose, a grand a pop is a bit rich.

Apparently these (link) do a good job even though they're fairly old....

personally I would give it a while and see if you learn to appreicate the standard system, they are designed to accurately reproduce the original signal. Some people get so used to false bass they miss the clarity of a high-end system.

either way, good luck

is there enough space under the seat for a small sub?

and with a sub would it make the std speakers (which sound fine) closer to the dynaudio upgrade?

forgive my complete noobness at ICE

If you have the dynaudio upgrade, thats where the amp is (passengers seat) so no chance of a sub
