I’ve been looking into increasing the subwoofer response this morning and came across this amp: Rockford-Fosgate-PM100X1.My question is if anyone has considered or done this - I was wondering if we can improve the bass response in the car by using the existing factory subs under the seats but powering them with a better and more powerful amplifier. That would allow us to put a bass knob in the front to adjust the levels but keep the amazingly tuned nature of the speaker location and DSP in this car, which is why they are able to achieve a soundstage that mimics a home listening area in a car.
People complain that they do not get a separate feeling of boominess in this car like you get from a pair of 15" subs in the trunk but of course that is not the way music really should sound. A properly phased, placed, and delayed sub really should sound like there is no sub at all, it should fool you into thinking that the bass is coming from the front speakers, like what the auto correction on the home theatre receivers acheive. This system does a very good job of this but could just just a bit more bass emphasis IMHO which is why I am thinking of increasing the quality / power of the amps to the exisiting sub.
Anyone know the ohms on the two subs under the seat ?

I’ve noticed the same; improved bass when on CarPlay.Cool you talked a dealer out of some wiring diagrams. Been lots of prior talk about adding bass. I removed my front seat and one of the subs a good while back to see exactly how those performed. I have a video posted in a thread here somewhere. I think the biggest issue is factory cross over frequency only allows a narrow band of low end frequency to hit our subs but they do work and not too bad when playing off car play via my phone. Just may not thump like some want. Back in my younger days before car manufacturers made it difficult to remove and replace head units I had Kenwood head units, separate amps for tweets, mids and subs along with a fully adjustable crossover so I could dial things in to my liking. A Cerwin Vega 12in woofer in the trunk did the job back in those days. Some of the songs I would play back then you miss certain notes entirely today in most factory systems. I’m somewhat older now and have no desire to add more wiring, amps or speakers and chase down alternator whine, spark plug pops and ground loop issues frequently caused by older cars back in the day. To each his own though who wants to tackle such nowadays.
Any chance you happened to also snag a headlight wiring diagram?Hello,
Attached are some Genesis G70 amplifier wiring diagrams - these are not easy to come by on the web, I got them from someone at the dealer.
