thats another point. the signal was clipped at 50hz but at 35hz i could turn the gain up quite a bit more without clipping. and like kranney said 0db is way to high. why set gains to 0db tracks when you will very rarely listen to something recored that high and if you do its only going to clip for a short time for the most part

I meant the 50hz sine waze will clip with bass boost past 4 clicks and the volume set to max the headunit does without clipping. not that there is a 50hz tone in the rock music. I switch cd's to rock and it wont clip even if i boost it up 20dbs as far as I can tell with the erratic wave... as far as filter goes it doesn't make much difference if its off or set to what I run normally

I followed all the steps and have set my gains using a $7k o-scope I borrowed. Stock headunit, mtx req, then my re audio vlx-1de amp. I used a 50hz 0db sine wave I downloaded from somewhere (i forgot where). anyways when the test tone is on the bass is pretty decent (2 12" alpine type R's sealed, temp install until ported fiberglass is done). rap is good too but as soon as I put in a hard rock I get no bass even with bass boost turned all the way up which easily clips the 50hz tone. I have been messing with audio systems since I was 15 which was 16 years ago and I never once used anything but my ears to set gains and I have never blown a sub to date. I have used good judgement on bass and distortion. I guess this inst a question as much as it is just my experience using the o-scope method. I can see the benefit for someone doing an all out spl burp with a known signal and want to make sure there amp doesn't clip and blow a sub. But since music dynamic and is recorded at different levels, most of which aren't as high as 0db to begin with I don't see the point in using a scope for daily driver type systems.

we crate trained our two dogs, although one is so smart she pisses on the floor out of spite sometimes. little bitch gets put for a minute when she does that shit. eventually they will understand that your house is there den and most dogs wont shit or piss where they sleep. on a side note rubbing there nose in it does nothing but make them stink. they don't understand what the punishment is for unless you catch them in the act. i would suggest getting one of the ceaser videos and watching it http://www.cesarsway.com/ we also watch that show "its me or the dog" there is a lot of good tips on that show

yeah i will take some pics before i put the real box in.

First time doing any sound deadening personally. I just put spectrum on my floor pan in the back area of my truck. I took the carpet out and the rear seats out and it was loud as hell driving down the road. After the first coat of just spectrum it got noticeable quieter after the second coat went on it was like all my carpet and seats where back in. I cant wait to put sludge under the truck to make it that much quieter. Defiantly some good stuff IMO. I get no rattles now

im in for a preorder/groupbuy or just whenever there released
