  3. DD1 vs speakers....?

    in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics

    Posted

    the dd-1 is not a power to speaker matching device. It only lets you know if the signal is clipped or distorted. If you use a dd-1 on 5000watt amp and then power a door speaker with it its still going to rip itself apart.

    You still have the possibility of blowing your speakers after using a DD-1 by over powering. Its just now you would be over powering with a clean signal.

    Agreed ^ if you watch the voltage and dont play it to the point where you are dropping it too low there is no reason you can't run the set up you have described. You will probably not be able to get full power from the amp but if you watch the voltage you will be fine. I was running my 3500 off a 220amp alt and d2700. I would get voltage drop but i just had to watch it and be careful

  11. IMPRINT + JL Audio

    in SQ - SOUND QUALITY

    The best way to get solid midbass from the 6.5s is going to be in your enclosure. It sounds like you are using the doors as the enclosures so the more solid and sealed you can make those doors the better low end response youll be able to get.

    I run my system off an alpine 9887 right now. I used to use imprint and I liked it. However, after using the capabilities of the unit myself (time alignment, crossover settings etc) I was able to get what was a better sound to me. After listening to the Imprint settings again it sounded like it tried to do too much and alot of the sound was lost. The EQ on the imprint is probably its main advantage with 500+ bands or whatever but if you have decent equipment and a solid install you shouldn't need that much EQ anyways. SO I would suggest avoiding the Imprint and getting a unit that will allow you to do that stuff manually instead.

    Also, once you go active you will never go back to passive!

    Good luck

  15. MB Quart

    i run an MB quart Q4.80 and it works perfectly. In addition to sounding very clean and clear with great crossover ability, it is at a great price. One channel of this gets my mids louder than my previous alpine amp that supposedly bridged to 100 watts on each mid. Definitely recommend. Can't comment on the mono amps tho

  24. My first box.. feedback please

    in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!

    i can say your xls should be very happy with that box. It is very similar to my wall but slightly smaller in volume which should give you a bit more cone control down low which will be nice since you are running a bit more power than me. To the ear (no TL near me that i know of) it crushes everything from 25hz to the mid 50s very flat and then trails off slowly above that, you should be happy.

    As everyone says though, brace the hell out of it. I would add port bracing for sure as well as another brace going side to side. My entire wall is double layered birch on all sides including the port as well as threaded rod thoughout and the box vibrates obviously but there is no flex anywhere, something to consider i guess
