Adding bass to my G80 EV

[chris41]

I wanted more bass to my car and tried powering just the OEM subwoofer with a small external amp - I did this with my 2015 Genesis with great success. I bought the same Alpine 250W amp and tried to repeat this feat but the sound was inconsistent and lackluster. So I needed something else... I wanted to only use the small parcel shelf in the back of the trunk but at nine inches, I didn't have many options. I bought a bazooka sub which fits on the shelf and powered it with my Alpine amp. It sounds amazing! I've been playing reggae for no other reason but to hear the heavy bass. I have the wiring diagrams for anyone interested.

Did you have to disable the ANC (active noise cancellation) by disconnecting any microphones? If not, are you experiencing feedback because the microphone in the car picks up the additional bass/vibrations from the subwoofer, then tries to cancel that noise out?

 

[chris41]

Yes and yes.

 

[ahrajani]

Yes and yes.

Did you find a way of removing the warning on the dashboard to check the ANC system?

Yes and yes.

Can you tell me how this was done?? Im having the same issue just had a sub put in.

What about the ASD (fake engine noise)?

 

[shadowca88]

Yes and yes.

Can you share with me how you handled disabling the r-anc? What mic and where? What about the asd (fake engine noise)?
