  4. System in a diesel truck

    in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.

    Posted

    my truck is a 2007 5.9. the voltage will get up above 16 and kick older amp off. when you are playing hard running down the road and when it is cold and the heater comes on on the motor had a kicker zx 650.4 it kicked off . but the newer digital amps are fine.

    I have an 01 5.9 24 valve cummins and the voltage is fine on 2k it doesn't fluctuate either so idk if that's cummins or just nemesis' truck. And its no different, probably easier cause it's already bigger

    Your asking a lot from a 600w driver pat! Bit if you have your gains set perfectly you can do it, but it just takes some user knowledge and paying attention. Is it highly suggested tho? No! Lol and if they did take 1.2k it wouldn't be for all day

    But still able to hit the lows and with the sundowns it would be ground shakin

    Eh, I dont think you can say you'd get better sound quality from the skar. It's really going to depend on the box you make. But both these dubs murder the lows, from what I've been seeing the Skars might even like to play a tiny bit lower. But honestly either sub will rock your shit just fine my friend. And about the kicker and jl nuthuggers, they swear by their shit but I promise 99% arnt as loud as the average person on this site who has spent much less money. And most those homos go and put their shit in some prefab box which shows just how much they don't know about this game. The box is where its at

    96burban do you modd them to play burnt games?

    I was going to once but then I hear that u wouldn't b able to play online cuz if u do then Microsoft can c that u modded ur cd drive and they ban u from xbox live so I didn't wanna risk that. And I never have done it. But there's a first for everything! Haha

    You are right, Microsoft bans your xbox within a few hours of signing on. A modded xbox is called a "j-tag" and there is a way to play online by changing your kv code, bit it's not worth all the time you waste to do it because you can only play for an hour or so if you sign on.

  24. Underpowing a sub

    You don't need to see the voltage because it probably would mean anything to you, all you need to know is that your amp and HU are matched up. Even the tools to set gains don't show you the numbers, you basically set them by the shape of the soundwaves, an o-scope shows you those waves so you set them visually according. And the dd-1 does the same thing but instead of showing you the actual wave on a screen, a light just turns on at the clipping point so you know.

    And yes iPods and mp3's can be clipping, anything can be! Even a song itself can have clipped bass. If you listen to an iPod all the time in your system set the gains according to your iPod, simple as that. As far as music goes try to always download the best quality of music possible. An if you are getting bass boosted stuff make sure it's from a known composer that doesn't have dirty clipped shit

  25. Underpowing a sub

    Not at all! What do you think happens when you turn the volume down on your head unit? ;)

    The reason the "underpowering a sub blows it" myth exists is because when underpowering a sub a lot of people crank the gain all the way up or way past where it should be because they think their sub can handle moar powa!!!! But as we all know the gain knob isn't the volume knob. Set the gains right and there is no problem

    Lol, alright man thanks much appreciated. I was guilty of that ^ haha not setting the gains correctly. Gotta get me a DD-1 here veryyyy soon. So people put the gain up alot more, so they can get more bass at a lower volume, but being that the gain is cranked most likely more than 3/4ths it causes clipping at a lower volume correct?

    The gain knob's purpose is to match the voltage output of your head unit. Every head unit is different and every amp as well. So we can't really say if 3/4 is too much or not enough. And yeah lol the dd-1 will make your life much easier

    I'd have to have a DMM in order to see the voltage output of my HU right? This just confused me a little more haha.

    No, you really don't need to see that number. There is a way to set gains with a dmm but it's not the best way to set them. The best way is to set them with an o-scope or with the dd-1. Lol sorry for confusing you
