Keith77 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 My understanding is those 3.5ks put out up around 4k Quote Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 A 3.5 per is pushing their limits. It's very possible it's the power and then even the slightest clipped signal can cause it. I run about 3k per 9515 so I'm at their upper limit. Clean music is ok but as soon as something comeson tthat's the slightest bit dirty look out Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

YukonDCXL Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 What power and what is your enclosure like? Mine never got stinky. Level 3's on a DC 2k. dual 2's with strapped 3.5k's in a box that Rusty gave me specs for, it is tuned to 36hz So, you're wired to 1 per amp? If so, that would be why they're stinky lol. after rise there is know way their actually getting 3500 watts... I just went with the subs rusty recommended. I know its not power issue, it is clipping issue. So if you know what it is what's the point of the thread? No sub should smell regularly. Some have a slight glue smell when first played, but most should not. And it's probably not clipping that much, but since you are running so much power to them, even slight clipping is likely to make them smell. Only way to be sure is to use Audacity and buy an oscope. I think it is clipping issue because of my bass knob light. the reason for the thread was to find out if you all get smelly without clipping/if clipping is the reason, why is it clipping when tuned correctly?

n8ball2013 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Because you can only guarantee a clean signal which is what you did. It's still up to you to make sure that you don't introduce dirty signal in by playing dirty music. The Dd-1 is as dummy proof as you can get but it's not 100 percent just tune and forget.

n8ball2013 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 You didn't add any bass settings in after tuning either did you Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

tacomaguy1 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 how's your voltage.....as long as I stay above 13v or so I'm good start playing hard into upper 12's and I can get a little bit of smell low voltage isn't good Quote Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YukonDCXL Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 You didn't add any bass settings in after tuning either did you I left bass boost on amp at zero, my head unit has the separate bass controls and I left bass volume there on 0 but it does go negative.

YukonDCXL Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I also play my music with my phone streamed through Bluetooth, is that okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's ok if it's clean and you also dd-1ed your blue tooth to ensure you are getting a clean signal there too. If you rip music from YouTube I'm betting it looks pretty scary 3 Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
