Sub takes over?

[tspeed161]

If I put a sub in my truck, does that take out the bass in the normal truck speakers?

Long story short. My trucks speakers are kinda bad when there's a lot of bass, but it doesn't seem like they're blown. I have a sub from my car, if I put that in my truck, doe all the bass now go through the sub and bypasses the other speakers?

You would need a low-pass filter for your normal speakers to have a setup like you describe.

I did with my system it took all my bass out of my speakers so if i were to unplug the the avi jacks from my sub i had absolutely no bass. But if hooking the sub up doesn't work for you try changing the settings on your head unit

No. You would still need a high pass filter for your other speakers. Depending on your radio you may already have this feature. Installing the sub would make it so you should be able to turn down any bass boost features you may be using though.

^Exactly^

High Pass = Frequencies above the cutoff "pass"
Low Pass = Frequencies below the cutoff "pass"

My Pioneer head unit has built in high/low pass filters. My sub(low pass) is set to 100hz and my front speakers (high pass) are set to 125hz.

No. You use a new aftermarket headunit with lowpass and highpass filters. The lowpass filter is for the subwoofer and the highpass filter is for the full range speakers. Always set the lowpass filter lower than the highpass filter, for best overall results.

You can also have your stock headunit connected to a 2 or 4 channel amp for the full range speakers with built-in crossover (highpass filter) and a sub amp with built-in crossover (lowpass filter).

Close to my small setup, probably. I have my 10" sealed lowpassed @ 80 hz and front speakers highpassed @ 125 hz.

Sounds about right in the small supercab 4 door with 50 watts rms to each front door 6x8 and 150 watts rms to the sub. Blurs the mirror and kicks me in the back, but don't distort at all at 48/62 volume.
