  1. This was an official usaci outlaw score back in 2000 during a comp. so no one was adjusting the meter up. And the mic was in passenger side floorboard. Was just saying how well i did with sealed system. Had Va state record and the only time i got beat in my wattage class with this setup was in Tenn. Now i got beat by van with 4 ported 12's, but he had prolly 3x the wattage i had!!

    Scores are harder to get nowadays. Do that exact same setup and get it metered on a TL today, and I would be surprised if it broke a 155.

    Yeah, i know the TL is much harder. Anyonw know just how many dbs lower it is from the AC meter?

    With the one from 2000? probably 10db easily.

  2. ive also heard that they are acutaly quite accurate.. who knows was jsut curious on that is all

    According to my TPI440, the AQ clip light is almost spot on....

    Now I have a newer 2200d, real new. My older version did vary slightly.

    I would trust the clip light. Now are you goin to say my oscope is bad because its not a DD1? LOL

    the TPI was the thing TO HAVE here before the DD1.

    ...

    Don't listen to this person..

    Don't trust the clip light, except if you have to. But it only detects clipping made by the amp.(by measuring rail voltage like decaf said.)

    DD1 is not a oscope, DD1 is better since it can detect distortion.

    The oscope is still good if you know how to use it, and a handheld one isn't the best option.

    And the TPI is very decent, measured nearly the same as my old school bench scope....

    The dd1 is an accurate way to measure distortion, but using the clip light still has a use.

    It's also very nice to monitor the music, as a lot of music has different recording qualities and properties.

    So even if you set the gain with a dd1, the clip light still has a very good purpose.

    And from what I read, crescendo is going WITH the clip light.

    TO the red: TPI is very decent, but because it's handheld you can barely see distortion(or not at all), you need a very trained eye.

    THe big oscopes are better because it's easier to read and is more detailed.

    Purple= The clip light doesn't detect clipping before the amp. Only clipping made by the amp.

    SO after setting the gain with DD1 or Oscope you don't need the clip light.

  4. just get it fixed, sell that piece of jap shit, and buy yourself a rockford 1501bd off of ebay. 1600wrms @ 2 & 1 ohm, going for about $150.

    ...

    Japanese stuff is shit? you make me laugh.

    Japan is the place to be to have reliable stuff made.

    And if you can find a RF 1501bd off ebay for 150 dollar i'd like to buy a few..

    1600w RMS at 1 and 2 ohm? No that's only for the CP series.

  5. How did you ground your amps?

    straight to the frame. and at the same spot. grinded down nice. then siliconed over to protect.

    the more and more im playing with it it seems like the amp but im still not sure.

    found out my headunit doesnt do jack for preout voltage until almost to the end of the volume knob from testing.

    That's normal.

  6. its not THAT impressive, but its certainly better than 99.5% of everything else on youtube.

    side note, why in the heck doesnt anyome make a deck that supports flac format? Theres rumors that Digital Designs has one in the works, but come on, how come my $400 computer can reproduce flac files but a $1300 pioneer deck cant. thats just silly.

    Its not impressive because its not the full quality at all.

    Flac works on my HU , pioneer 6300sd. And you cant compare a computer to a HU. Its like saying why cant my cellphone edit HD vids, it costed 700dollars and i can do it on my 600dollar computer.

  7. But what should the HP filter that is built in to my Pioneer deck be set at?

    This the first post I saw... but glad to see after reading these boards for 4 years I finally decided to join and made a friend

    *also suggested he get his setup scoped and to run a fairly low gain with a high input voltage. Who really goes around blaring just mids and highs anyway? I'm an sq guy so my gain hardly ever see past 75% that's with a 4v rca input but with no subs if you can hear your mids distorting then you've got a probelm, I'm sure when this guy checks this tomorrow he's gonna be like damn I just asked a question.

    You are funny, you are not a SQ guy at all. If you are , then you are a shame to all other real SQ guys.

    And 75% gain with 4v inputs will have distortion on a lot of amps, because most of the time they can only handle 6v-8v of input voltage, so the gain would be set waay too high.

    Seriously? A SQ guy who put's his gain to 75% and has 2 15 inch subs and no amp for the speakers. ><

  8. The helmet is gonna save your life, the leathers are gonna save limbs.

    Lol, not only your helmet saves your life also the vest that protects your back from breaking.

    So you don't really care about limbs? You wouldn't mind living like a dead plant? only being able to eat and drink thru a straw.

    I've seen quite a lot of motorcycle accidents where people didn't want to wear their gear or buy some, just wearing a helmet then they got hit by a car and they are in a wheelchair for life.

    Dude if an accident is gonna happen, it's GONNA happen. People die in cars just the same. People get paralyzed and disabled in cars JUST the same. Driving in traffic/in the middle of nowhere, there are chances we take. This guy is never gonna throw a leg over a bike because people will have him scared to death thinking it's his last day on Earth. If he feels comfortable without a bunch of equipment on his body, then that is gonna be his choice.

    I do agree that the more protection he wears, the better his chances of saving himeself and body parts he has. On a side note, I don't know HOW it's legal, but here in the state of Arizona, it is not a required law to wear a helmet at all. Seems completely stupid, as I have to wear a seatbelt. Why would a rider choose not to protect the most important piece of equipment on their bike, their head? Boggles me....

    So your spine is not that important to you? If it breaks your dead and if you are lucky you will be paralyzed.

    Atleast wear a GOOD (expensive) jacket and helmet. Make sure the jacket has something in it to protect your back.

  10. is ohm rise something i need to be concerned about on a daily setup? how can i determine what my ohm rise is and what my amp power output is? sorry for noobie question, i tried to search but couldnt really find anything pertiant i got 2 aq1200d strapped supposed to 2500@2ohm, im running 4 d4 wired down to 2ohm, so im tryin to figure out what my acutal imp will be and actual power output will be.

    Don't worry about rise in daily situation.

    YOu need atleast double the power to hear a 'decent' difference in loudness so if you have 1000w out of the 2500w you will barely hear difference between 1000w and 2000w.

    If your box deigner is good and you tell him/her the power your running and car type they can make the box efficient to limit the rise,

    The box won't have lower rise because it's more efficient, as skittles has said.

    A good designer will find the best balance, where the amp and sub and enclosure match eachother so they are more efficient all together.(i don't know if i explained myself correctly)

    this is why I run my amps at 0.5ohm daily :pardon:

    seeing four times impedance rise is a pain!

    haha me too thats the exact reason...its gonna rise above 1 no matter what so might as well compensate

    This is why a lot of people smoke amps..

    It won't always rise above 1 ohm. Sometimes it goes down to 0.5ohm or lower...

  11. You do know that a normal 'race' helmet will protect in a way a motocross helmet can't?

    Going cheap on a helmet is not smart.

    I'd say spend atleast 2-3k for protection, it's not like a car you know..

    The better the protection the more happy you will be, trust me..

    2-3K are you kidding me? Are you talking about a full set of leathers and boots? That's totally unnecessary got daily driving. I'm not saying shorts and flip flops are an option either, but let's not go crazy

    Yes i'm talking about vest+pants+boots+handgloves. And i wouldn't reccomend leather, synthetics are better.

    It's more necessary to have full gear for daily driving instaed of on the race track since you don't have cars,trees,walls,...

    FAlling on the race track isn't that hard on you. But if you fall in a street where cars drive or in a corner and hit a wall or when you get hit by another car you will be happy you have full gear.
