Epicenters are really popular in mexico, mexican music doesn't have much bass but with the epicenter they make any song hit hard.
How should i set it for mexican music?
@@noealvares6149 the few times i used it I kept both nobs around the middle, but you can play with it and see how you like it.
I couldn’t agree more we Mexicans like to hear Banda music and the Epicenter it’s a must have for our systems.
@@mrsilv483 i’m about to buy one i have 2 Jl 12s and a alpine amp how do i set it? for the mexican music
@@irj8998 brother you are going to have to play with the controls so you have it set what ever is your preference. There’s no right setting it all depends how you like it.
The best explanation and information video i found on this topic thank you
Holy shit! I've searched EVERYWHERE for this simple explanation. All I've found is unboxing and stupid shit. Thank you so very much for the information! Took me over a hour just to find how to and what the wide and sweep is and how to adjust it! YOU, are the real MVP my man!
Been out of this stuff for 10 years but its good to see these still serve a purpose
Best application I’ve ever had for installing one of these is in a Chevy Silverado- we did 6 Memphis mojo minis in a custom under seat box, and focal flax front and rear. We did an audiocontrol d-4.800 and a customer provided subwoofer amplifier, it was a power bass amp with a custom amp rack and some distros. The customer exclusively listened to mariachi and salsa, but he wanted bass. Epicenter was the ONLY reason his system worked at all, you can’t boost bass that isn’t there, you can only inject it.
This brotha is always on top of his game. I research your info and you're always on point and if you're wrong, you're real enough to say so! Right on brotha!
This video really helped me understand my new epicenter, thank you my man
This is by far the most concise explanation of the Epicenter I've every heard.
Excellent explanation! The function and purpose of the epicenter is a bit mystical. One thing you didn't mention is that the signal coming IN to the epicenter needs to be full range or lopassed as high as possible, then use the crossover on the amp NOT the one in your head unit
I do agree with you my brother.
Could I use the sub out even if my LPF is turned off?
The epicenter takes bass frequencies and makes them lower frequencies. A Phoenix Gold BassCube takes and increases wattage and directs it around a centered frequency and essentially boosts bass. It does add deebees.
I mean you could full pass on the amp and use the crossover on the headunit
@@JesusSoto-rs4jcI think the reason you aren't supposed to do that is because the epicenter needs to receive higher frequencies as well so that it can process the output correctly
I use this device the Epicenter and the LC7I with accubass sweet sweet bass 😎sound so good with Rock and Mexican Music 🔊
How do you have your epicenter set up at,Also your LC7I?
If you turn your knob all the way down it will NOT make it like acapella. It will just play the songs as if the epicenter is not there, as the song was distributed.
Thank you my brother!! Best explanation on UA-cam!!! 🇲🇽
Thanks for clarifying that, I have this setting on my amp and never really knew how to set it right. My box is tuned to 31-32hz and peaks around mid 40s
Epic center wont go lower Than 33 hrtz gotta swap out chip to 25 hrtz or 15 hrtz chip in epic center
@@jaimegonzales8553 where can a get the different chips
Audiocontrol web sit and choose your chip hrtz
Finally an explanation in English I can understand
When I got into sound systems, my dad told me the epicenter is like connecting a pressure washer to your garden house. It’s the same water, it comes out of the same whole in the wall but it squeezes out more pressure.
I'll try this and see if it makes a difference, thank you
so did it make a diffrence?
@@megaman010391 Pretty much, I have an upgraded 20Hz PFM module so it digs really deep. Love those lows!
@@GentryMorrisIII should have been a night and day difference
Awesome video. Thanks for posting a video that's an actual explanation of what the device does and how to use it.
I find the epicenter amazing for getting it to emphasize low hz
I had the wide half way now it's on full it's really sounds good thanks bro
I use it for classic rock and corridos music. Money well spent
How did you set it?
How do you have your knobs set
The shop I took it too set them both in the middle
I know... But the real question is.. Does cheaper bass restoration alternatives are shit compared to this??.. Nobody have done a proper comparative between "epicenters" :C...
@@velardechelo my friend has the sound stream version which is like $100 sounds pretty good but I feel the Epicenter has better response
This guy is on point, I literally called audio control today and asked if it is nessasry with an lc2, the guy on the phone said basically everything this dude is sayin.... mad props man 🤜🤛
@Billy Taylor I haven't yet
The new epicenter micro has an LC1 converter built into pretty much
Bro!!!!! My system sounds amazing now!!!!
Love the knowledge shared bro, but I wish you would have spoken on swapping the chip on the inside from 30hz or whateva that high number is..... To the 15hz chip... It was a night and day difference... Keep up the good work I support you brother
I also want to know about the chip. I have 33hz tuning on the box. What chip would be needed
@@thevvizard823With 33Hz tuning, I would get the 25Hz module (18db slope).
@@bailez thanks
@@thevvizard823 Np
Now I can buy one because you fully explained how to use it. Thank you.
Beautifully Explained
thank you
I also see you're a man of culture. As much as I love using my epicenter the only annoying part is having to turn the knob off and on during certain play lists. You can be listening to current music and them boom earth wind and fire comes on. So you turn that knob up. The next song is a bass heavy track from 36 mafia and you gotta turn that sucka back down. Never ending cycle. I wish it had a auto sensing tech that if it detects bass signals it lowers the gain by default.
I enjoy your videos. You make things very easy to understand. Keep"em coming Bubba.
This thing works. Im using it for all kinds of music. It took my system from thumping to beating the shit out of my trunk. Highly recommended
Do u run both epi and amp knobs or just the epi?
@@vincentguzman1992 both. Using it with a fosgate at 1ohm.
This video really taught me everything I needed to know.
Now.....!!!! I understand. Been using these for years JUST BECAUSE 🤦🏾♂️ but now that you have explained it in “Laymans terms” I do kno I need it after get this forth order cabinet. I can only play UA-cam becaf and bass boosted songs to get the system to do what it’s tuned for which 32hz but when I play my iPod music bass is nonexistent on most of my songs. Had gave up on them but after you have explained it. #Amazon 🏃🏾♂️💨
your explanation is amazing, before i knew what this was i wish i found this video
great content
Love your content brother. Very informative and well explained.
When setting the gain on a mono amp, what do i do with the epicenter? Turn all the down on the remote knob?
Man I been looking for this, Finally!
All this time I was thinking this was a device for stretching for boosting your Bass
I’m so glad I installed this!!! Yes you’re correct, it does not add volume. Instead it adds magic.
Best video on this topic for sure, thank you my brother.
I have two Epicenters in both my cars as well, it can really make the older rock songs, even my contemporary Jazz music sound way better. I don't like the ported subs but rather a sealed sub sound which to me is a more accurate better sound quality. Occasionally I do listen to Hip-Hop/Rap with a sealed bass system "The Epicenter" can make it feel boomy or like a ported sub. This product is very useful if you listen to multiple types of music, tight or too loose bass. Nice review!
The way you word this makes me quickly notice that you probably haven't used a proper Ported enclosure
Thank you for the info... I need your opinión about the LC2 , how do you have the Knobs also set up. Thank you.
Get the lc2 ots mind blowing as far as a line out put converter goes, all of us bmw guys only use the lc2
Thanks bro I was saying that to myself guess here have it lowered and still changing their chip
Good to know you don't have to adjust gain!! I wasn't sure if I'd have to retune the amp after getting one
Thank you for explaining it properly!
Thank you so much bro. Easiest n best explanation
Thanks for the knowledge this is my next investment in my system
Somewhat true, there is a jumper to boost the rca voltage you can change
Good to know bro,best explanation ever 👍
Simple and effective! Thank you!
Bro this was the best overall explanation I've ever heard about how to set this epicenter. Thanx!!! I never knew how.
What if my box is 22hz?
You didn't have to "set" the Epicenter back in the 90s...they didn't have them dumb ass sweep and wide controls. Plug and play is the easiest way...I'm still sitting on my OG Series II from 1994. I'm never selling it!
Best explanation! Thank you
Is Adding and increasing the same? 😄 I got what you're saying man, i know you're trying to explain it plain and simple for newbies and people not familiar with it like me. Thanks 👍
Lord Have Mercy_!!! The Epicenter is Real_!!! And Will Blow Your Subs Without An Effert_!!!
I had my epicenter since my music was installed. The guy who did my install is well beyond his 26-28 years of age, he is car audio through, and through. So I never touched anything after the installation, nothing, I was totally satisfied.
Then your video came across my path, my box is turned at 35, so I did exactly as you said, no less than 9 o'clock, no more than 12. I set her at 10 o'clock.
Sounded like I had two 18-inch subs back there, instead of two 10-inch subs. It was like I dropped money into fire how fast I was trying to turn my shit down, my amp had my back and went into protection mode. Sounded like my pickup was being destroyed. GOT DAM EMBenclosure_!!! I'm shaking my fist at you_!!! Hitting 30s.
What u set ur voltage ⚡ at under the cover..
So does the epicenter give you that studio sound inside a vehicle? I'm the type of person that like to hear every instrument when listening to big band music like EWF, Mint Condition or all the instruments in a Dr. Dre produced track. I'm trying to get that Bose noise canceling headphones sound inside of a 2014 Ram Quad cab.
How do you adjust your lc2i in accordance with the epicenter. Also do you use the knob on the lc2 or the epicenter
Hay man thanks for showing how to tune it did you open it up n change the volts output or leave it at 7.5volts?
Hey bro. I'm from Alabama and I've learned alot from u as far as knowledge so I wont be cheated on car audio being I'm new to this..and I wanna say thank u...but I'm getting ready to contact u for a box. P.s. can u please play"anytime" janet Jackson.( just to demo the effects of the epicenter).. I believe in all your words and wanna show these ppl around me that u are very knowledgeable..thanks bro.
Not good for my taste with your sweep and wide recommendations. But you explain this really well for those that are new to the AudioControl Epicenter. Also for those that listen to Spanish music like corridos try putting your wide on the 4 -6 o’clock and Sweep on 6 - 8 o’clock that’s how I like my lows to pick up. play around with it is the best option for your taste
Do you also have the lc2 along with the epicenter?
@@Mario_Lopez34 I have the LC7i same as the LC2 just that LC7 has more inputs. I also have audiocontrol epicenter
Every car and box with different tunings and different amps will need different epi settings.
Can i explain it more simple? Do i turn my wide more counter clockwise or clockwise, and same thing for sweep?
@@merc2413 well this video explains what you commented. but for example i have my wide clockwise ill say around 3/4 and i have my sweep counter clockwise around 3/8, but depending on what type of music you listen to that will change . i listen to mostly spanish and my box is tune to 36hz and it hits the way i like it nice smooth bass and able to go loud with nice vocals and bass not overpowered like most of the young crowd likes it
Can you do a video on your LC2i as well
thank you sir it me a lot
With mine, I set all of my head unit crossovers to off, sub crossover at 70ish almost 80, and left the sub hpf open and wow, the epicenter PFM filter controls the subsonic. I got distortion when I set the subsonic at all.
Great video bro
I see you also using the lc2i what are your setting for that ? With the epicenter combined
Why is it that you cannot use during bass heavy songs? sounds horrible only can be used playing oldies or songs that have no bass whatsoever. If it just restores the bass that was their then it should have no effect on playing D.J. Magic Mike or Migos
You answered your own question
Alright so I got an epicenter installed it into my system but for some reason it seems to take out/lower bass from regular songs (with bass already in them). It just makes rap songs for example quiet even if I try to adjust bass knob. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Do you still have your amp bass remote connected? In other words two remote knobs at the front?
What about changing the chip
Do I need the bass knob in order for it to work properly.
Thanks for sharing bro.
The link actually goes to an LC2i not the epicenter but I have been thinking about getting an Epi to play around with.
So wide all the way up and sweep all the way down correct?
I couldn't agree more! Thanks for the video it helped me confirm what I believed it to do. At first I almost removed it from my system because on a oscilloscope it looked like it was distorting the signal however it never flatlined or peaked it just made weird waves once I figured out that I could turn it all the way down and still get my amplifier to produce clean base at max volume I then realized on the songs that lacked bass this is where this thing shines!!
Added way more bass to my music using the same settings as the video and it’s been sounding crazy good🔊🔊 good video man thanks 💪🏼
what kind of music u listsen to
@@djmaverick8108 listen to a lot of older Spanish music like chalino Sanchez don’t need the epicenter for like young dolph he slams my Dc audio subs
So you run your subs into the epicenter or all your speakers
How you determine what voltage to set it to on the inside?
I have a audio control 6xs and I hook it up by taking the out from the epi and into the main input on the crossover then to the amp. Should it be reversed?? Out from cross in to epi then to the amp??
The main rca’s from radio or hi-low converter to the epi input, then rca’s output of epi to 6xs input, then rca’s of 6xs output to the amp input
Best explanation I've heard for these bass restoration units. Now I have something I can forward to people when they ask me about what these do and how to set them up. LoL. Thank you sir!!
Just bough one in I will add it to my mono amplifier 1500 so where the gain should I set them most I listen is combias banda mariachi occasionally rap ..
so what you are saying is this is a line driver for your subwoofer amplifier 🤔
Have you had any experience using the ground isolation feature? Does it work well?
Well explain bro so quick question ...since i got a mono amp just for my subs with an amp knob do i gotta use both or just the epicenter kbob? Thanx...hope to hear from u soon or any one who comes across my question!!!
Whats the difference between the epicenter and the epicenter plus?
3:27 Best information about the AudioControl The Epicenter, I tried this settings I can tell a way difference in my system thanks 👍🏻
great explanation, best one yet by the way , do you have something explaining how to set up the loc to the epicenter and what the acubase should look like
I tried the same settings for 90s rap and reggae and the bass dots sounded wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks
I have the indash epicenter is the sweep knob the same as frequency on the indash?
What voltage should I set my jumpers at with my Taramps Bass 8K?
2.5V
Thanks... Installers wants to mess with ur head when they exaplain this... I understand u perfectly cause I have 1 alpine 12" sub at 34hz enclosure.. I just need an epicenter but they are expensive as sh¡t :C.. If i use a cheaper hifonics bass restoration alternative, it would be that bad???
Epicenter does not take all bass out if knob is turned all the way to the left.
If everything is set correct it can
What about the amplifier
Why does the knob go lower than the setting image ps my box is tuned at 34hz were do i set my sweep
Whelp you got a new subscriber
Wide goes from 27hz (not 23hz) to 63hz
Is tha new limited Edition epicenter better
Is the epicenter connected using the lc2 sub out puts or main out put?
Why does my epicenter cause my amplifier to “clip” 😢
Can you turn it on and off? If i turn the epicenter gain all the way down?
I only use the Epicenter for all my oldie music.
I have a 2019 Challenger I have two Rockford fosgate T1 power series 12 inch subs what custom box and Hz would you recommend for my car
