412cvx? Hahahaha But I remember when I first joined supercharged DC I think it was was a major poster, what happened to him? Or the Dwight DC dealer? I remember he got in an argument or something before he left

Yeah my cone separated.. Probably past xmax but not bottoming out. I epoxied it back and its good so far. I'd do that to it before it does separate if you feel it softer. I like how my BL has CA glue spread an inch or two up the cone to prevent that from happening

Yeah I didn't read the second half of this response

Tony just said they both gain resistance linearly so that doesn't make much of a difference.

I really wanna see some real world results supporting what tony said about OFC but so far teamht 's switch is the best testing (and a legitimate test too) for the argument. It's not like cca is the worst stuff ever either, I mean it obviously works pretty well if power lines use aluminum wire instead of OFC. That's some pretty major power transmission if you ask me so why don't they use OFC?

So what mode was this in? Edit: never mind just saw that it says dynamic on the screen. Still gotta get used to this new ad-1 cool ass info haha

That's if everyone knows the level of every song that they bump haha a little more work than most people do but I guess I still wouldn't trust the head units increments of dbs but if it works for you and you tested it great Edit: OOOORRRRR that would be a Great implementation of an smd output meter

Yeah now we are on the same page, I know exactly what you mean and if there was noticeable noise through the system I would redo it. Thank you for the clarification on why it was frowned upon Edit: this is a very informative thread

This happens more than you would expect, check your music sometime on audacity or wmp

if your deck goes up to 47 out of 50 (for example) and you think its good to have your reference point "25".....then sure, you can do that. The thing is, now you have go turn the gains on the amps up higher to make up for that loss of voltage. More gain = more noise. I would rather feed my amps as much clean voltage as possible, and have my gains barely notched up a hair, then have them up 3/4 of the way (or more) to make up for it.also, you setting someones system at a reference of 25, out of 50, will work fine (a bit noisy possibly), but what is going to happen as soon as your boy decides a song isn't bumpin hard enough for him one night while riding with the lady's? he is gonna turn that shit up to 35. Well instead of 35 being well within the limits, now it is full blown distortion. Not good. Make sense yet? Yeah I feel you with not having to turn the gain up too much on the amp but that's its job. If it can't do it properly I'll upgrade to one that can handle it. And yeah I made it clean to him to never go over that mark, it sounds like shit over that anyways so I hope he's not trying to impress anyone with that! lol

You are halfway right, a higher preout voltage would make it easier on the amp. But it is literally the amps job to take a low voltage input and step that up so it shouldn't heat way up if it is not being pushed into clipping or being fed distortion even with an extremely low input rca voltage That is as long as it has a good ground and proper electrical. And again if I am wrong anywhere please someone knock me off my high horse but I think I am right on this one

And you're sure it wasn't the songs you were playing that were clipped? Gains could be set clean as a whistle but if you start with a dirty song that clipping just gets amplified. And I really don't see the problem with him making sure his signal is clean from his deck with a 0db tone at 25 volume Then setting his amp gain when the deck is set to 25 volume and set it with a -5 dB tone. If someone can tell me how this would lead to distortion I would love to learn because I've set my friends system like this since his stock speakers couldn't handle >30 volume out of 38. And I definitely don't want him to blow his shit and blame me. Edit: And I understand that set this way you can NEVER turn it over the specified volume

I've had nothing but bad luck with that line out.. I've had better luck just wiring the speaker inputs to rca male ends but that's only works in certain situations

Almost positive that .5 on the ad-1 is equivalent to .5 reactive not nominal

What time today can we expect the results?

Yeah he shouldn't have tried to make the two tests sound the same when they weren't but I still don't think it takes away from what his product did.

How is him posting two clamping results not comparing concrete numbers *to the best of his ability* We understand that the two dynos were quite different on the battery supply side of things
