Sub hiccups?
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
weird. Where in Seattle are you? We might be able to meet up and get this thing debugged (I'm only pushing the amp around 1/3rd of what it can do - do I am definitely contacting crown if it is distortion) -
Sub hiccups?
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
Maybe I checked something wrong - but all the glue joints seemed solid and an update: I figured out it only does it at lower notes - above 40hz or so, it doesn't do it (NOT an excursion issue) Anything around the tuning point it seems to have that issue -
Sub hiccups?
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
that didnt sound weird to me... maybe ur box is broken somewhere? I stood on all sides of it and not a sign of moving (even the inner port walls) Could it be the amp maybe? The AC voltage goes from ~105 down to ~60-70 when it makes the noise. I am having a hard time isolating the sub from the amp since I don't have another sub that can take the power from a crown or another amp that can push like it -

Free air - it makes this weird noise at all volumes which you can hear in the video. I thought it was normal but maybe not? -

Damn... I wish you were right, but everything looks perfect This is really difficult. Any ideas? -

Ported box tuned to 30hz, the noise making note is at 32 hz, and subsonic is set at 25hz if that's any help -
Excuse the poor quality video. I did it more so you can hear what it sounds like than to hear what is going on. It makes this sound, moves less for a fraction of a second, then goes back to playing. It does it only at certain notes (and it's not bottoming out) Ideas? It's a level 5 15 w/ reinforced surround, 2 extra medium spiders http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s67rAXXYgs

12-16 sqin of port per cubic foot of box space. I like to stay within the 15-16 range for less port noise and a bit more output. How much power does your friend plan on running?

Tracks on DD-1 disc???
SnowDrifter replied to SQMonte's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
It says in the manual. -0db for headunit / eqs, etc -5db for SQ on amps -10db for a mix of sq and spl for amps -15db to get the most spl I use -5 for all my amps since it has the least likelihood of clipping -
I normally don't swear... But WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?! A 1 year old boy?!? God Damn... There is a special place in hell set aside for people like the shooter

Bass heavy songs with no kicks?
SnowDrifter replied to omegagamer2's topic in Tunez - All things music related
Jeezy - Air Forces -
Just got my new sub wired up (in my bedroom) and I show my Mom - she BOLTS out of the room saying she doesn't like the feeling of it LOL
-
I haven't had experience with that wire specifically, but so far: All of my Knu wire has been excellent. I just got their 8 gauge power wire and used that for speaker wire since it's cheaper per foot

I just discovered this song and I really like the punchyness of the kick drum they use. I thought I'd share

Give me some LOWWW songs
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in Tunez - All things music related
Where can I get it since I'm not in the contributing member or 18+ sections? Seek and ye shall find Big Pimpin' music I thought he had a collection of zip files And thanks all for the responses! I just finished making my changes and to my surprise, the box didn't lose it's ability to slam the low notes. The sub just moves less and it's a bit less peaky. This is a great list of songs -
How to drill hole in my surround?
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
One of the guys over on caco suggested using a drill bit in reverse to spread the threads without grabbing it. Seemed to work pretty darn wekk. Just go slow -
How to drill hole in my surround?
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
I'm using t-nuts to mount it though. I actually need a sizeable hole -
How to drill hole in my surround?
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
Lol Guys, the surround doesn't have screw holes in it. The basket has holes, but the surround doesn't. I have the reinforced surround so trying to cut through it sux haha -
DD-1 Makes Noises
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
you should really try using this in a car, with 12v equipment. It can work with pro gear but i suspect you are not doing something right....we have yet to have a truly malfunctioning DD-1. So far, the only problem we have had, and its been only about 3 of 790 units, have been a few "overlay's" (with the buttons integrated) messing up......the other 99.5% of the issues have been user error and resolved by simply reading the instructions. even though it will work with pro equipment, we dont fully support that YET. Beside that, i have asked you few times to show us a better video of what is going on. Its still VERY unclear what you are doing. try it in the car, with equipment made for a car and report back. Will do. I am at school right now, but I should be able to do it and report back later this evening I posted a video a couple posts ago =) -
DD-1 Makes Noises
SnowDrifter replied to SnowDrifter's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
It makes no difference whether I use the cd in a player, cd in my laptop, the ripped cd, or even my own generated some wave. And whether it is on the speaker terminal doesn't seem to make it change either -
Go the route of the RE. I used to own a PA Mofo myself and it sucked haha
