Hey all, When I built my cab I decided to use a nicer set of car speakers and amp. I am running this from my sound card (part of the motherboard) I have downloaded the latest drivers. My problem is that there is little to no bass coming from the speakers. (speakers are listed to -3dB @40hz) I sould have much more boom when boom should be happening. more like fizzle pop. Anyway on to the point. Do any of you know if there is some freeware out there that is like an EQ for windows? This way I can shape the sound around my cabinet. |

Are the speakers in an enclosure of some sort? I don't think you will get any bass (EQ or not) unless they are enclosed in a semi airtight 'box'. When mounted in a car, this would usually be your trunk. This is why I went with computer speakers (they came with a subwoofer). |

Innitally I thought that too, but when I looked at the design idea further, most arcade games have speakers mounted right in the body of the cab and many cabs have a pretty good thump to them. I could be totally nuts in my thinking but wouldn't a cab be a super enclosure, perhaps not airtight though. More airspace, lower frequencies. Plus ported speakers are not airtight. Just thoughts, no theory. But then again, state something sternly enough and with enough with enough assuredness of what you are talking about you can be an expert about anything. ;) |

Sorry if this is way obvious, but did you try swapping the leads at the speaker? If they're wired backwards, they sound terrible. |

The ffdshow decoder has an EQ built in, among other effects. I found this out after buying an Audigy SE specifically for increasing bass response. ::) http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net |
