[B]What happened to your bass problem?

[B]The head unit has a "loudness" contour built-in (as do almost all receivers, both car and home) to compensate for our ear's reduced sensitivity to low and high frequencies at low volume.

[B]I've noticed a peculiarity with the stock headunit, however.

 

Just to add to what Modifry is saying, a 10 dB increase is very large...it represents a 10x increase in power.

 

That's not correct. Decibels don't increase at a linear rate. The volume doubles every 3 dbs (9 db is twice as loud as 6 dbs).

 

Your are correct 3 dB is a doubling of power. But who said anything about it being linear?

example

0 dbm = 1mW
a 3 db gain = 3mW
another 3 db gain = 6mW
another 3 db gain = 9mW

Same example
0 dbm = 1mw
a 10 db gain = 10mW.

It is not linear, but a 10 dB gain IS equal to 10x power increase.

 

correction 3 dB gain on 6 mw = 12mW

That's not correct.

 

correction again....I need to learn how to type and add!!!
