  2. FroznBeavrBaLLs Feedback

    in Buyer / Seller Feedback

    Posted

    Hey guys, just wanted to fill you in a little on my experience with Frozn, I bought a DC Audio level 3 sub from him with the exception that he shipped it the next day as soon as possible (Had to have my bass) With this he agreed and i purchased the sub, he kept me informed on what he was doing at the time he was doing it, such as getting supplies for it, supplied me with answers to the questions i had about it, and from what i can see, was very honest. I recieved the package today with the level 3 DC in it. The packaging was perfect, I was having trouble opening the damn thing, trying not to get to excited and stab something. Overall the shipping was quick, the daily feedback was great. He's a great guy to buy from.

    Hey guys, alright well I currently have a Mitsubishi elcipse RS 1997, with stock speakers, the speakers would crack at high volume, lets say 25. Then at other times they would play perfectly fine at 25. I figure if i replaced those speakers they would be perfectly fine, so i replaced the speakers and im having the same problem, i replaced them played perfect at Volume 27, then later at the same volume they started to distort. Has anyone experienced this problem or can toss me suggestions to troubleshoot?

    Hey fellers, alright well im not very experienced in car audio, i know most of the basics but still learning for the most part, so i decided I was going to get another car stereo system (DC level 3) and didn't want to clip the sub to death, so being smart about this i went to my local radio shop about 10 miles away and ask them how much it would be, then shortly after i asked "Do you set the gains by ear?" They replied Yeah we listen to it and set the gains, then i replied Oh you don't use a O-Scope? They said oh we use that to. What a shame. I left the shop quickly laughing because the store told me just want i wanted to hear, not what they do. Really wish i could find a quality shop around here that doesn't always give me a load of bs. Anyways was just wondering any other stories if somethin like this happened to you at your local shop would love to read about it. Not like i have anything better to do right now haha.

    I was an installer from 1987 - 1995 and worked for 5 different shops in the San Diego area and the 5th one (out of those 5) I worked for was the only shop that had a scope. From 1995 - 2009 I worked for two different manufacturers both in the top 10 of largest american car audio brands and during that time, I never saw anyone pull out a scope to adjust the gains on any of the cars that went to SEMA or CES. Not really any point to this, just saying.

    Lol, so your basicly telling me there is no point in setting my gains with a o-scope or DD-1?... haha i disagree :) but maybe that's just me.

    I hope you didn't buy it from onlinecarstereo! That amp model has been out so long you can find them for cheap everywhere. Certainly cheaper than $320! Being CEA rated doesn't mean what it used to, but yeah its alpine so it will put out the power it claims. Great amps, i just hope you didn't drop three bills on one.

    Haha nah, if i had the cash to drop three bills on a amp i'd be buying a DC amp, or Sundown. :)

    Since when does a sales person equal the quality of an install?

    Depending on genre you may have to over gain to achieve the best results because of the lack of lower end punch in that type of music.

    Your ears are the best equipment you'll ever have, depending on what a person listens to the dd-1, o-scope will be perfect for the their needs but when you listen to older classic rock and metal you have no choice but to gain higher than listening to bass heavy tracks.

    Sadly a fair amount of shops will try to sell you the shit they have had on the shelves for a long time whether it's some good brand name item or total garbage brands, but as long as you know what you want and not get sucked into his game you'll be fine.

    The sales person is the person who is installing it, basicly by him telling me two different stories he just told me what i wanted to hear, i agree your ears are the best piece of equipment you have, but it doesn't solve clipping :)
