  1. What is better to do. If I'm looking to get just a tad more of bass and I'm already at 75% of volume of my head unit (26 of 36). (a) Is it better to turn my deck bass adjustment +5 or ( B) just turn my gain up on my amp?

    My amp Sundown 1200D gain is set to around 80%. I figured it would be better to turn gain on amp since the deck could be clipping after 75%.

    Thanks for your input.

    Im sorry but i had to laugh at this.

    Go to a shop and let them tune your gain, because you aren't qualified to do it at the moment.

    (that's really the best advice i have, because i don't think you want to buy a DD1 or a Oscope)

    You are clipping, im 100% sure.

  2. Yes, turn the bass boost ALL the way down. Then set your gain between 1/2 and 3/4, should be a tad better

    What?

    Why would he have to do that?

    He should set his gains properly, with a DD-1, Oscope or atleast with a DMM.

    Don't trust your ears, you can't hear clipping properly at all.

  3. ok new to dc didn't want to go threw threads hunting for something could just ask

    first is like to know specs on the 8 inch sub and what kind number they put up.

    second what can the level 4 hand daily on clean power before blowing up.

    I am building trunk to do 150 plus easy with 2 level 4s 15s.

    my best is 147.7 with 2 xd which roughly same as level 3. clamped power was 2010 watts and was on dash legal with door open. box was tuned to 45 hrz peaked at 57hrz. high but got the numbers.

    my second build decided to do 2 12 type x on audiopipe 3k. best was 146.1 at 40 hrz clamped 2260 watts out trunk still. was tuned low and it did very good job of flex. build was post on here back in sep. if anyone remembers. pretty sure everyone said wouldnt do what it did and was not impressive. lol

    i am now on team dc and like know few things about there sub thanks.

    Kind of lazy don't you think? Why would we do the effort to type something if you haven't done a effort to search? (seems quite harsh but it seems logical to me) <_<

    The power handling depends on the person using it , but since you have already overpowerd a few subs, you shouldn't worry going 20% over RMS rating.(i can't tell you to run 2kw to it because i don't want to be respobsible for a broken sub.)

    It doesn't matter how loud someone got a sub, the difference between a few people with the same sub and power could be 10db.

  4. They never get warm? i have the headunit at 24/35 and my ipod 80% flat EQ. I dont bass out like most people do. Both of the subs make a scratching noise when i push them past half way. i dont know if that normal? Both subs are very easy to push it also

    Very easy to push? So they aren't new i suppose?

    They are probably pushed to the max by the previous owner and the coil is probably f**ked up and the spiders aren't as effective as new because they are worn out.

  5. Is that a D1, D2, or D4 sub? What is other coil reading? Or is that just a single 1ohm sub??????? More info, as Ive never seen a single 1ohm VC sub

    That 1 stands for infinite, which means there is no closed circuit.

    it might help if your dmm wasnt set for AC voltage

    maybe its set in the ohm area and you cant see it.....

    if it was in the AC voltage it probly would read 0

    No it wouldn't, have you used a DMM before?

    It reads that way when the value is infinite.

    set for 200, more accurate reading..but im guessing your tinsels are smoked somewhere

    It won't read more accurate if it's a infinite value , only if the value is below 2ohm.

    d2 sub reading 1 on the dmm...

    No it's not it's rading infinite, have you used a DMM before?

    d2 sub reading 1 on the dmm...

    Thats what I was thinking....

    Thinking wrong..(read above ;) )

    Even if the dmm is set at 2000, I would think it would read close to 2, you know, rounding up.

    again,have you even used a DMM before?

    It doesn't round up to 1 IF that was the value it was showing. It's showing a infinite value.

  6. Tune to your cars resonant frequency.

    Why should he tune at resonant frequency?

    I don't think that his goal is SPL,going to competitions.

    Tune to your cars resonant frequency.

    or somtimes a little below. I usually peak 10 or so hertz above what my box is tuned at

    How do you know where he has to tune if you don't even know what sub he gets?

    If you would tune to resonant frequency it would sound crappy in 99% of the installs. He didn't ask how to be the loudest and even then, tuning to the RF of your car would not be the loudest tuning.

    Hatley_1, which subs are you using ?

    What kind of music are you listening to?

    What are your goals?

    I never said i did know?... My point was not to tune at resonant frequency. Read again

    woops, youi shouldn't even be in that post. :peepwall:

  8. dont mind if i jump in i need an alt too it seems but im not looking to spend more than 300 + maybe 100 more for installation. not sure i would know how to switch it out.. any ideas? i have a 2001 sabb 93.

    If you want to have a HO alt, you need to be prepared to atleast put down 550 dollar, install not included.

    You won't get a good HO alt for 300, except when there is a BIG discount.
