Lots to comment on... I've always said in the past the dd-1 is used to align the gain to the average loudness of the music you play. Yes 0dB is the safest setting but only tones are that loud so you are missing out on a bit of power using 0dB. If you find your sub RCAS do not distort with sub level flat/zero... check the front/rear for distortion and use that volume number, then if at that number the sub RCAs don't clip you can raise the sub level until it does. Hope that makes sense. After using the dd-1, an equalizer should be used to attenuate or turn down whats too loud, you shouldnt really need to boost it at all more than a few clicks and that EQ setting will change depending on the song/genre you are playing since every song is recorded at different levels. Its all about setting the gain to the average loudness of the music you play most. I've used -5dB@40hz for my sub amps and any others I've set except for one individual who doesn't not listen to any of my music. A random average of 50 songs I've edited came out with a loudness of -4.6dB and I used to offer that tone to set gains with, so using -5dB@40hz is perfect. Reality is that everyone clips a little and we don't notice because 1) distortion below 40hz is extremely hard to detect by ear (need upwards of 20-40%clipped signal to detect) and 2) clipping, unless excessive, just equals a bit more power going to the sub. My set volume on my headunit I use is 37 and I go from 35 to 38 depending on the song since they are all recorded/boosted to slightly different levels, one should not think every song can be ran at the magical distortion free number when the gain was set with a distortion free tone. A proactive volume finger is key to keeping things cool and making equipment last. Moral of the story is you must get to know your systems limits and I always suggest checking a song through WMP Oscope/equivalent to ensure its not horribly squared off waves before it enters our car stereo.

HPF questions (again)
Decaf replied to TRON's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
there are no brick wall stops... crossovers are sloped. using 120/100hz@18db will yield basically no bass below 50/60hz -

if you cant hear them then there is no point crossing that low, its fact. cool yes but wasted think lowest ive seen mids do well on was 63, and those we AA Polys with uber excursion i just run 80/100hz, they still can be heard playing ~60hz -

front to back ground to alt mounting bolt... nothing will be better because you don't have a full frame. strut tower is an option but not as good as ground to engine block -

Yes. Buy recone from DC which includes Glue. remove surround/spiders, grind to bare metal... recone ment + shiping that's still $100 less than I asked, which is a lowball by a long shot. not trying to be rude but you will piss people off trying to negotiate that low to start. maybe after 3 months of not selling them, haha. -
