I was greated with a rattling, thumping mess of bass coming from the new sub. It sounded like @ss. I knew *I* hadn't been screwing with it the night before. I had time to move the bass settings in the Tone menu. I messed with DSP 80 and 200hz (lowered). Eventually (like a few mins)- through no obvious input of my own, it settled into the lightly added depth I have been enjoying.
I parked, ate and returned. Same thing. I screwed with no settings, deciding to see what might happen if I just waited. Sure enough, a couple seconds later, it settled into my new normal.
It sort of 'feels' like the either the DSP amp or the new amp sent with the sub are sort of 'waking up' a bit slower than the stereo itself. I do notice that changing either tone settings or DSP settings take a second to 'catch up.'
Any thoughts?  |
I'm guessing... it's a problem with the amp. A solder joint, most likely at the Xover network or gain knobs, is getting affected by the cold.
I've noticed the quality of the amp in question with mine as well... messing with the gain/Xover settings can cause some ugly results (sort of what you describe). Fortunately I got mine to a well tuned setting and it stays there without doing what yours is doing.
