I think the op was worrying about clipping.
Use a 3.5mm wire (plug one end to mp3 player and other end to oscope) and oscope it.
Also, oscope the sub output.
yeah, I'm stuck between an Ascendant Audio Havoc and DC Level 4 with lvl 5 softparts and an extra spider. I've hard good about both and the prices are about the same so I figured id look at the T/S parameters
Lol..of course
You made good points and explained them really thoroughly. I forgot all about that 1 watt testing. It does seem pointless the way you described it.
The avatar is cool. I was actually staring it it for a few mins before I wrote this response. Its unique, to say the least..lmao
When using the sub in a daily system on music should the specs below be higher or lower? Or is there a range it should be in? I want to compare two subs.
Here are the specs im talking about: Qes, Qms, Qts, Sd, Xmax, and Vas.
