Bassworks Concert pack

steveking1000 · 26th July 2006, 21:41

Right then. I've checked my paperwork, seems I have the concert pack. As I recall that's the whole-damn-lot upgrade for the stereo right?

Can anyone else who has the concert pack tell me how loud there CD player goes to. I love the sound but it's just not loud enough for me. Maybe they didn't fit the extra amplifier (noone came up with an easy way to look) or maybe there's a gain control somewhere, or maybe I just have an over optimistic view of what the concert pack should sound like.

Listening to the radio in the morning, about volume 30 (out of 40) is easy to hear/not too loud. 40 is fine quality but not super-loud.

thanks

Volume 30?!? I haven't had mine over volume 15.... As a general rule, you should not drive an amp at more than 1/3rd of its volume

I think you may have a bit of a snag with yours,

Glen

steveking1000 · 26th July 2006, 21:48

that's what I mean. The sound is still great at 40 (no distortion) but it's too quiet. Is there a gain control on the amplifier and can I reach it without taking the dash to bits?

civicsport · 26th July 2006, 21:59

I think you need to take the ear plugs out.

steveking1000 · 26th July 2006, 22:11

very funny. I did even clean my ears out at one point

seriously, is there a gain somewhere I can turn up?

DO YOU FIND PEOPLE ALWAYS SEEM TO TALK SLOWLY OR SHOUT AT YOU, OF FIND THAT YOU CAN'T HEAR PEOPLE ON THE PHONE?
If volume 30 is not too load for, you might want to consider getting your hearing checked

steveking1000 · 26th July 2006, 22:14

nope, my ears are fine. I just want to know, is there a way to turn the amplifier gain up.

IF I TYPE IT IN CAPS WILL YOU HEAR ME THEN?

YES

yes you can hear me or yes you can turn the volume up?

Bungle · 26th July 2006, 22:20

Sorry, I'm being a bit silly now. I have no idea, I can only suggest talking to your dealer, and if they can't help, Honda UK.
Seriously, I hope you get your sound working OK, or your HEARING SORTED (ok sorry, that was the last tome) soon.

steveking1000 · 26th July 2006, 22:28

no problem. it's going in for it's first service in a few weeks time so if I don't get any joy here, I'll ask the dealer. I was hoping someone else here would say "I have the concert pack and it's so loud at full volume I have to get out of the car" or something similar so I can take it back safe in the knowledge that something is actually wrong with mine.

basegreen · 26th July 2006, 22:44

Have you got the auto volume thing set to MAX? This will reduce the volume at low/no speed..

Are you listening to MW? Known bug where MW goes quiet under quick usage of radio controls.

Gain setting is on the amp which is inside the dash. Annoying.

civicsport · 26th July 2006, 22:44

As you can see there appears to be a gain knob on the amp if thats a actual photo. but i don`t know where it`s mounted

basegreen · 26th July 2006, 23:04

Umm... see post DIRECTLY above yours... I just explained!

civicsport · 26th July 2006, 23:07

We also both posted at exactly the same time (10:44) so i didn`t see yours till i posted mine

Excuses excuses

Anyway, that's the answer. I reckon it's your speed adjusting volume

Pottsy · 27th July 2006, 08:33

Quick trip back to the dealer to get the gain sorted I reckon. On my standard kit it's getting near full power at volume 22 - this is useful for when you are playing something quiet (piano stuff) and need the extra volume in the range.

steveking1000 · 27th July 2006, 11:29

I think you're right, back to the dealer, get them to turn the gain up. damn silly it's behind the dash, I might see if they'll relocate it.

Spoke to someone who had it put in the glovebox.
