So I tried something and it worked. I turned the subwoofer level on the radio from 0 to +10 and it made a huge difference. But I'm not sure if that's clipping or damaging the amp.

people STOP buying the fark harness!!!!! it's a waste....
there is a better way to accomplish what you and most people integrating a factory HU into a "system" you should use this i had 1 of these and it worked great

i have been a audiocontrol guy for over 25 years. then in my next car i went to a LC7i to have a 4 channel and subwoofer but the LC2i is all most will need.

/\/\ditto/\/\ I’m amazed at how much people get ripped off with the Fark harnesses. AudioComtrol all day long FTW! The stock radio decreases bass response the louder you turn it up. That’s why trying to tune the aftermarket subs are a pain with regular rca converters or high level inputs. AudioControl keeps the bass from rolling off. People around me can’t believe how awesome I can make a stock system sound with their products. Cool thing is they also offer a bass control knob too!

X2 i have the bass knob and my "stock" vw radio sounded amazing.

I have my stereo hooked up with the harness, and deal with the falling bass issue. I have a lc7i in transit. What would be the best way to wire the lc7i?

Is your head unit the stock one?
I was under the assumption, due to what i've read, the bass roll off was actually the amp rolling the bass off, and not the head unit.

I used the FARK harness myself, and it's been working well, i'm happy with how its coming along, too. But it seems since i replaced my stock amp i dont have an issue with bass roll off like i did before...

Im gonna make due with the stock head unit for a while longer.. but i can see myself changing it down the road..

cheers.

It hits way harder then my 2 12s kicker CVR I had in that box you have.

I think you are right. I think my problem is the box. Do you have a video of how yours sound with the one sa 12?

Yes I am running the stock head unit. Is there a way to incorporate the harness to add the lc7i? Could I use the output wires from the fark to line input on the lc7i?

[DirtyredSS]

Lemontwist, How do or did you wire the lc7i ?

I tried this in my 11SS AND GOT ALOT OF INTERFERENCE FROM ALT WINE AND THROTTLE WIRE.

Hey man I’m going thru the same shit right now. I’ve tried the fark. I have the lc7i now and I’m trying to figure it all out. And yes I’m keeping the stock hu. Seen that I need to pull from before stock amp. It’s definitely a real pain in the ass. Hope we can figure this out.

A few people on this thread was right. It was the box. The box wasnt giving the subs enough airspace. I couldn't get a big enough box for them subs so I downgraded to two sundown audio sa 10s in a custom box. The subs are hitting how I expect now. But I like the sound of the 12s better. They deeper and hit harder.

Where did you ground your amp?

But I noticed if I turn the bass amps up on the factory headunit the subwoofers get louder but also does the bass in the speakers and it sound horrible. And also the subs sound good at about 15 but if I go pass that they dont get any louder. So is the factory head unit the problem? Is there a way I can control the subs and speakers separately? Like on an aftermarket radio.

Music is only as great as the sound output it exudes. This statement holds true especially for the parties and other outdoor activities. It is such events that require uncompromised sound quality. The amplifiers are the pieces of equipment which make these possible.
