AudioControl The Epicenter is an essential tool for car audio enthusiasts who want to recover lost low-frequency depth and impact in their sound systems. It is designed for audiophiles and bass lovers looking to improve the realism of their music by recreating missing bass harmonics, though it requires a professional or careful installation to ensure the gains are balanced properly to avoid overdriving your subwoofers.

Yes, but you may need a line output converter (LOC) if your factory radio does not have RCA outputs.
No, it is a restoration processor designed specifically for bass, whereas an equalizer adjusts the entire frequency spectrum.
It is best mounted in an accessible location under your dashboard so you can adjust bass levels while driving.
If tuned correctly using the subsonic filter, it should not harm your subs. Avoid extreme settings that cause audible clipping.
The sweep knob determines the center frequency that you want the processor to target and boost.
Lower the output gain on the unit and ensure your amplifier gain is not set too high.
Verify that the remote bass control is turned up and that the power/ground connections are secure.
Adjust the 'Sweep' control to shift the center frequency and use the 'Wide' control to tighten the bandwidth.
Installation involves connecting your source unit's RCA outputs to the Epicenter inputs, then connecting the Epicenter outputs to your sub amplifier. Proper gain structure is critical; ensure your source volume is at 75-80% before adjusting the input sensitivity on the processor. For care, avoid exposing the unit to moisture and ensure it is mounted in a well-ventilated area, as digital processing units generate a small amount of heat during continuous operation. Check your wire connections periodically to ensure no vibration has loosened the RCA plugs or power terminals.
