- ⚠️ WARNING: this tiny device can add CHEST-CRUSHING bess to any car audio system. It’s like injecting your subwoofers with STEROIDS ... but BE WARNED: it can also make your subs sound like ‘blibber blabber’ and blow them right into DUST when tuned improperly. WATCH what happens when you ABUSE the AudioControl Epicenter!
I love my Epicenter and I only use it for songs that have no bass. Have to be careful when using the epicenter because it will feed distortion to the amp and the sub won’t be happy
That's exactly how to use it!
Been a fan of the Epicenter since the late 80’s!! That bass sound is like no other! It’s a Must-Have for All of my car sound systems.🔊🔊🔊🔊
The best use for this device is for OEM sound systems that neuter bass output in order to save their crappy speakers from being destroyed. This can restore that lost bass and send a proper signal to your sub amp.
That's what lc7i is for, it's called accubass. Epicenter is different
Totally different thing, this lowers bass lines by half an octave, I.e for Mexican music, makes it a lower note. What you’re describing is factory bass roll-off, which is a completely different thing that has a whole different device as a remedy (LC2i)
@@MegaJohn334doesn't the LC2i accomplish that in the very same way? Lowering the octave of existing bass?
@@chrishernandez2490 LC2i is a line output converter that prevents bass roll-off, as does the lc7i.
Epicenter is actually a bass restoration unit, not necessarily a bass booster.
I had one of these back in the late 80s the early 2000s and I have a few sitting in my cars right now
I had one and it did cost me a set of subs at a competition. Loved it and want another one
I had an epicenter and an EQQ! Audio control gear rocks!
They have a purpose. They are amazing for factory radios that have the bass roll off of protection. Obviously like anything have to set gains and settings correctly
The short vid you just dropped is gonna save sombody some coin wish i would of seen this vid when i first started using my epicenter VALUABLE info
I do hope hope so!
😮
😮
would have*
I have an older model. I love it for being able to bump regular music that you wish had rich bass but it doesn't work at all on bass boosted or decaf music which is probably a good thing because it makes the original versions of those songs sound wonderful.
The epicenter can be adjusted to only allow above a set frequency. Guys that adjust them to 10 Hertz Is just asking to bottom out a voice coil😂 the Epi just takes the harmonics (60hz cut)and and generates one octave lower.
It is pronounced as epicenter Like An Earthquake😊
Playing rudolph the red nose reindeer with 6 15 sundown zv6s on 3 jp 9300s @.5 each. My kids love the epicenter. I have the 15hz chip in mine.
A epic 160 was the best thing I added for my mid range.. especially with mp3
Yes I'm old
Honestly the hardest part of my system was setting the epicenter sweep and wide frequency to that sweet spot going back and forth between English and Spanish music 🎶
I knew I was going to be disappointed with his answer when he said "Epic Center".
That sub looked confused as to what frequency it should be playing😮I see what you’re talking about
It’s a digital bass sound processor
Wish I still had one
My grandfather had one of those back in the day he also had some sound stream ss10s and an alpine head unit and Mtxs in the doors
Damn they still make them Lmao last time I saw one was in the 90’s
People use those on their big chucheros around me, doesn’t sound too good but my lord is it loud
That's right! Lol
Tbh ive been bumpin rap with a epicenter and its never sounding bad it sounds good asl
Peso Pluma music sounds good with those
Peso pluma and fuerza regida.
To make this simple…. If you listen to older music, Rock, Alternative, country or Spanish, this will absolutely change your system for the better. But if you listen to primarily Rap or Newer music…. This isn’t for you 😂
What kind of wiring kit do I need to set it up?
So then if I want to listen to songs that already has bass,then just lower the epicenter? Or what else can I do
I don't really feel a need for one of these even with old music my subs sound good
TBH we mostly use them for Spanish speaking music these days.
Jerry doesn't understand the point of the product.
Good video and explanation I wish I would have know this before I burned my 12.
Thank you! And sorry you didn't catch it sooner.
It all comes down to tuning and frequency you want boosted, a epicenter can destroy your system if your amplifier is tuned wrong as well, distortion and clipping can cause problems as well, just insure before adding a epicenter you know what your doing, if not I believe audio control will help you out on how to work the epicenter or else a CZcams video or support form will as well
I have the ORIGINAL Epicenter.
All you have to do is just turn the knob down I've been using an epicenter for over 20 yrs I only use it for classic rock music or just rock music in general but you don't have to use it for rap music
I need that mexican flag one
You are already in trouble when you use it and don't know when to you were just sold a device ot wanted something just to day you have it. Like thinking gain knob is a volume knob for more bass
This the type of seller everyone should buy from cares bout his customers more than the money
How do u tune an epicenter
Ive only used it on sealed subs
Well damn I got to dig up all the old music just for this unit?
There goes the subsonic filter Ha ah!!
Too much new music to go into the vault for 90's music.
Can you switch the epicenter on and off easily if not I guess the sub is going to burn up.
Love the audio control epicenter works wonders on my Spanish music! Like the Man said don’t use it on songs that already have bass it will sound muddy…
So what do you do? everytime song changes you just turn it off? What if 1st song doesn’t have bass and 2nd song has bass?
@@livebig6414 If the first song doesn’t have bass you turn it up accordingly. If the second song has bass you turn it down. It’s meant to reprocess the bass only it’s only a volume knob to reprocess not to turn up the bass.
@@erikceballos7933 So you control through a knob? Like sub amp knob?
@@livebig6414 That is correct…
Most installers don’t know how to use them or adjust them.
How much
Damn you guys are the reason the w6 ho 12s are on back order 😂
Only honest car audio guy out there
Thank you my brotha 👊
How come you didn’t mention the adjustment knob? Essentially with it all the way down the epicenter is practically off.
Yeah the songs with tuba. Songs with real bass don’t need epicenter
that's right.
most systems sound better without EQ i'm glad someones finally telling the truth
That is not a EQ
I just turn the amp up and settings and remember to turn it back down for old rap
I'm sorry to have to be "that guy" and I promise I'm not just being a hater but the Audio Control EPICENTER is called just that..the EPICENTER...as in the "epicenter" of something (usually an earthquake) it's not called or pronounced the epic-center..just saying and yes they're awesome when used correctly
take care
question if I get 3 12 tw3 what kind of amplifier can I use and I’m getting a port box
How can I get it am from Jamaica
We'll be shipping internationally soon!
Is the epicenter the same as a dsp?
No, an Epicenter adds/boosts bass. Mainly for music that doesn't have much bass. A DSP is a signal processor used to connect amps to your factory system, correct factory signal, and properly tune your system overall. (nearly essential for 2+ amp setups that are being ran the factory stereo, but also great when you have an aftermarket stereo)
On the epicenter lower the width knob to the left since it is a bass boost since I already saw it on a Oscilloscope and switch the pfm module to play lower frequencies when setting your gains make sure you have your epicenter bass knob all the way to the right with your subwoofer connected so that the amplifier can be loaded please DO NOT set gains by ear use equipment, do not use bass boost.
Width? You mean wide . The wide is the crossover you want it to affect the frequency you choose on the sweep . 27hz-63hz . Factory pfm is 33hz but remember it's a crossover so it still sees below 33hz . It's not focused on lower but it still sees it .
@@smurfeco2.358Yeah however I noticed when setting gains with an oscilloscope on my subwoofer amp that it was acting as some sort of Bass Boost, PEQ whenever I adjusted the width to the right which is why I have it all the way to the left the Width knob which is how wide or narrow you want the sweep frequency to be.
@@andrewpsfour that's exactly what I Said
@@smurfeco2.358 yeah
@@smurfeco2.358 Just justifying how it was a bass boost when setting gains from my Subwoofer amp.
Can the bass knob that comes with it prevent that so it isnt in use when playing other songs that don’t need it?
Yes, you'll want to use the Epicenter volume knob when you need to tone it down.
Wrong Spanish 🇪🇸 right Spanish 🇲🇽
Bass knobs works just fine to adjust bass
I need help with my boss
Exact same thing happens with my system
i dont want it might ruin my equipment not taking a chance!
First time for me hearing about it. Google time!
Fuuuudge I been waiting for years for sum one to show me why crappy installers set all gains max😂😂😂😂😂😂
Don't show this to Puerto Ricans and Dominicans
Did he say "Epic Center"? Lmao
How to install amplifier in 2020 Nissan Sentra sr please
Sir isn't there already 10 videos that can show you how thats done already ?
Do you want Daddy to hold your hand during the entire process too?
What's an ephic center?
An Epicenter is a bass restoration device that will augment/add bass to your music. For songs that lacks bass, it's a great. For others, not so much.
Simple. Its called turning the gain up
you into home audio?
No, mainly car audio.
It basically turns ur clarity up on your subs to hear voice look at it as turning a big sub into a regular car speaker
No, that's not what it does at all.
@@housemartinez lol don’t care what you think
@Mr.limgabal I wasn't telling you what I think. It doesn't do what YOU think. LMAO
Don't listen to this guy. He has no clue what he's talking about.
@@housemartinez yeah sure little guy
MY Kenwood deck has settings for old music already.
Epic centre.... really... your not filling customers with confidence when you can't read or speak properly
Sorry but i think you’re mistaken on how to properly use a eq .
First off music that doesnt give a ton of bass is fine. But tune your amp so that its still a clean signal for your heavy bass music. An eq is designed to make a flatter response in the overall bass response. Not to make Johnny cash flex your windshield yet Rittz will blow your subwoofer
This is a bass restoration device - not an EQ!
If he was using an EQ you would be correct. But this is not an EQ... Listen and take notes, there will be a test after class...
Or just invest in a decent Equilizer and just boost those frequency's
dosent do the same thing lol
You can't boost frequencies that aren't there!!! This adds those frequencies that are lost or missing due to several factors. It restores and enhances the bass. Not even close to an EQ issue...
So essentially, it’s a frequency boost definitely not interested in something like this to me That’s a piece of shit…. Just learn how to tune your system and set it up correctly you won’t need to boost any frequencies FLAT response only.
It doesn't do that. It reads the music and "RESTORES" bass where it is lost or missing due to several factors. It's not a booster. It restores bass. Pay attention.
