looking for a good pre-amp with controls for subwoofer frequency level, possibly up to 250Hz. The one i have now only have the option of 43 or 60

what brands should i look for and also what is the market price for it? where can i get it in KL/PJ? thanks in advanced

i only have mids + hi's in the cabin.. i feel that some bass is lacking especially in the higher freqs. Previously before installing the pre amp and using my amp to control, able to get better sound for bass.. but now, at 60Hz cutoff already so i think some frequencies not playing at all..

yes, definitely..

better pre-amp will definitely give u better SQ and more adjustment options.

pre-amp enables u to have more control over the sound thats coming out..eg, bass, mid-bass, mid, hi etc.. so u can adjust each level.. using ur HU to control generally only allow u to control bass mid and hi..(except maybe for some higher end models?)

and yes, using a lousy pre amp will screw up ur sound..thats exactly what happened to me.. my sound was better without the preamp simply because now my sub keeps cutting of at 60Hz! (which is okay if u like to listen to techno, rnb etc, but i'm more of a rock/alternative listner so generally the bass freq dun go dat low)..

the result? listening to songs of this genre sometimes i experience a lack of bass or no bass at all (which did not happen prior to installing the pre amp) .. but i must admit that the general clarity of the music is better because i could adjust the mids and hi's to my liking..

thats y i'm looking to swap out this preamp with another one which could control the sub freq range higher than 60Hz.. i saw some in the market (some cap ayam brand below RM200) that could go up to 250Hz.. but i wanna put a good one.. any recommendations??

kbs@o!!!, where did u install your mohawk one? is it good? can control sub freq or not? thanks!
