  5. Using DD 1 To Set Sub Amp Gain

    in D'Amore Engineering - High Quality Car Audio Installation Tools & Accessories

    Posted

    Thanks guys. I set my sub amp with the subwoofer level on the HU set at 0. I used track 4 on disc A for maximum sound quality. The sub doesn't sound the best until it is in the volume range of 30-34, with 34 being the max undistorted volume on the HU. I will try again with the subwoofer level on the HU set at its max of +15 and see what the difference is. Also, when I set the gains on my 4 channel full range amp, (which i am using the HP filters on), i set the gain with the filter switch set to off. Is this the correct filter setting when setting the gain on the 4 channel amp, even though I am using it on the HP setting?

    Any time you set something with the DD-1 or use the DD-1 to read a signal. You want all filters to either be at their farthest range away if they can't be turned off. But always turn them off if that is a possibility. When you have a filter on, it may hinder the DD-1 ability to detect distortion at what ever frequency range you are trying to read.

  9. Distortion with gain set at minimum

    Got my lc6i today, installed it and static noise it gone.

    Volume knob is on max with no distortion. and the distortion in speaker is gone :) sounds much cleaner now too.

    only thing I noticed is when I first tried to set it up with DD-1, it was doing the same exact thing, distortion with gain at min. But then randomly went away.

    It was just trolling you, it seen you made this post and was like, "yeah, I'm going to fuck with him" lmfao. For real though, glad to see it's working. Now I have something to suggest people who want to keep getting those $15 LOC's that can't be DD-1'd. I had a buddy before cry about how he lost where his gain was set because I couldn't tune his amp because the LOC made it distort at all levels.

  11. d3100 vs xp3000

    The XP is specifically made for reserve and should never be used as a starting battery. I don't know how exactly the technology works. But the D series should be used as a starting battery, where as XP should only be used a secondary reserve battery.

    That's what i figured. I've just seen alot of people with d batteries in the back. Do you think I should remove the d975 or just add the xp3000 to it?

    You are more than fine at using a D series as a secondary or for more reserve, just only use a D series for a starting battery, that is all. It's just if all you need is reserve power, for the price the XP line is cheaper.

    Edit: The other reason you see a lot of people running banks of D series, mainly older builds. They where built before XS power came out with the XP line so they had already bought and built their set ups with what was only available at the time.

  21. A good reason why I have been MIA

    So I found a new PC game. I know you Gunnem PMed me a bit ago about my absence. I am absolutely in love with this game. Have around 200+ hours in already and have been playing it non stop. The game is called Rust. It is a survival based game like DayZ, but way better. You have to farm everything to make anything in game. And I mean anything, weapons, ammo, buildings, clothing, and even the items you use to farm with. It is online only, and fully pvp based. The main point of the game is to get a base established, and raid other peoples bases. While they are online, or offline. The game is still in Alpha. But from any Alpha game I have played. This Dev team does updates weekly, and takes everything in from the community that supports it. Which I have never seen done to this extent. Also to those that are familiar with the old Source games, and Garry's Mod. The main dev for this is the one and only. Garry Newman, the creator of Garry's Mod.

    The thing I love with this game, is because it is online, and everything must be farmed. And the fact it's open to modding. Anything can be done. If all you want to do is build cool looking bases, and destroy them and blow them up. You can. If you want to hunt noobs and make their lives miserable. You can. If you want to get extremist and join a clan to have clan wars on servers with 40+ people fighting over a base or village at once. You can. They even have a Battle Royale mod, which is basically a 120 player capped 1 round hardcore deathmatch. Usually lasts around 10-25 minutes. Really cool. Just youtube the game if you guys want to see stuff. There is so much on youtube about everything, gameplay, PVP, killing noobs. Making art and treehouses, lol you name it.

    Here is the game.

  22. Question of the day. An amp doesn't do rated (by far) but is still affordable power...is it ok?

    in Amplifiers

    I don't think so. That's why I stay away from those brands. Why buy a product that the company lies about. Just be honest, people still buy it when you lie. Imagine how much better they'd feel if you where honest from the start.

    Edit: To respond to the 2nd post. That's why I dont go to them, was a noob and found out the truth. Now I go with companies that do more than rated and run like butter down a hot knife lol

  23. Best Amp for 2 SA-15's?

    Depending on the size of the stock alt you might be fine with stock. What size alternator and battery are stock?

    What's a proper amperage alt to run this with a single battery up front?

    If your stock alt is over 100 amps and you do the big three you would probably be fine. If you're dropping a little low upgrade your stock battery to the biggest XS battery possible.

    If your stock alternator is tiny it might just be better to get a 150a-175a alternator from Mechman or Singer.

    Stock 90a alt. VW makes a 120a one for their VR6 engines that are compatible, simple swap onto the 1.8t engine currently in the vehicle. XS calls for the D4700 I can fit in the vehicle under the hood.

    Check out and see how much that other one VW makes. Usually manufacturer ones are very expensive.
