my soundstream setup. (so far)
Soundstream T5-12 12" subwoofers(2) 1800W 900RMS each
Soundstream 2 channel amplifier xstream series (for now)
Soundstream 2 12" chrome spider grills
Soundstream 4 Farad capacitor
Soundstream BX15 subwoofer epicenter(pictured below more)
i didnt put on the grills yet in these pics. its cold outside =/ im gonna probably get a mono class d amplifer(2000W) to add on and use the current amp to run the my alpines. i need more money! i also have to run the wires under the carpet =/ so sloppy. well its still in the making. what you guys think?

Very nice setup man.If you dont want to cut up the carpet, a simple false floor or amp "beauty ring" would cover up that wiring for you too.
PS - Those wheels look sick on there too!

And since you bought it used, I recommend removing the front cover to check the jumper settings inside.

Sweep is to adjust the center frequency the bass boost is at. And obviously that boost will roll off gradually in both directions from that center frequency. The Width **** is to adjust how steep that roll off curve is. From a sharp spike, to a smooth hill for snow tubing.

well i had a setup before this so i left the stinger wires in but then bought the same gauge wires from best buy. luckily i have a friend that works there so i bought signal wires, rca cables, spades and all that good stuff for about 5 dollars with the employee discount they have (each one was about 1.08 haha)

im still kinda new on how to adjust it so please dont flame me, but how would i go about in setting it? would i adjust the sweep so that its hitting in the right place? and the width would be how much from that right place the other right places to hit would be?
its new =)

And I have no idea what you're talking about. Lemme make it extremely basic and try to draw you a picture with words. Because I dont have time to do it in paint. lol
Just like the different bands on an EQ.... bass boost increases the output at a certain frequency. Say... 45Hz. Well we obviously couldn't have a single frequency with a huge spike on it. The music would sound like crap. Normal normal normal, then BOOM anytime a 45Hz note was played. So we have roll off. Shaped like a hill, bell or mountain. The peak being 45Hz, and the sides gradually sloping back to sea level. 47Hz a little less boost... 50Hz less boost yet..... 55Hz less.... 60.... etc etc. Until your even again with all the upper frequencies.
So sweep changes the "peak" of your mountain. Donno what their actual numbers are for the BX15, but say anywhere from 25Hz to 75Hz. Then the width **** changes how steep the slope is on that moutain. Might be able to change it from a huge spike at the set frequency, to a super gradual slope grandma could climb.
What do you need to set it at? Well, whatever sounds best to you. If you want more bump, maybe center at 45Hz and set the width at half? Again, I have no clue what the "settings" would mean with that unit. IE. What frequency is half way? Or how steep is 3/4 up? etc etc

oh yea one more thing. lol
the pfm subsonic filter control. controls frewuencies 35-80hz. they say leaving it at 35 is fine. but if i increase the sweep would i increase the pfm filter?

I would leave it at 35Hz for subwoofers. If you increase it, between your subsonic filter and your amp's low-pass filter.... you'd have nothing left.
