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?

In regards to the demo bus,
I don't think he will have enough surface area on a flat wall for anything near as impressive, I think he should have put more thought into the first wall and angled it instead of directly at each other. But that's just me and its not my van. I hope he does something crazy with it now!

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

But but but.. It's cea certified

Works on mobile for me...when I tap on my post (the same as if I wanted to quote a post) there is a button to "quote", "edit" or "delete" that pops up.Can't use it on mobile
Damn on my phone it only shows me quote and edit

Can't use it on mobile

I dare someone to quote orzech's post with all the pics.

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

, so unless the music comes from the producer being dirty then it shouldn't be in my car.
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.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
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 -
Steve I have a thought on why his amp is heating up the way it is.
If he's only running that head unit at half the potential volume, and he has the gain on that map maxed, or a quarter less that maxed, isn't he taxing that amp more than if he had a clean signal at full voltage out of the head unit and the amp gain at much less? Which would then cause the amp to work less to put out cleaner higher power, thus also feeding the sub that which would then put less stress on the sub even if it was louder?
Not sure if that made sense, if anyone get's what I'm saying please help me out here.
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

yep I have seen them. and the ct1400 amp is a beast. it had the the boors breathing on this older chevy on a single smd aa 18....Anyone seen these sick gain remotes by ct sounds?
Voltage display and the knob is a push switch to turn the amp on and off independent from the remote turn on. You can also set it to use the remote wire with a switch on the amp
very nice amp. looking at getting one real soon.
Yeah man there whole line up is looking pretty good if you ask me haha I'm about to pre-order a 2500.1 and I like how they put a plexi bottom on it too

Hell yeah man, nice scroll cuts. My great grandpa made me a few pieces. I'll try to post pics of them tomorrow

56 watts off, damn.
I have a question about the ohm setting for this test. Is setting the dyno at say .5 the same as wiring subs down to .5 (as the amp see's it). I only ask because you see people wired low all the time (I know there is rise).
Almost positive that .5 on the ad-1 is equivalent to .5 reactive not nominal

What time today can we expect the results?

So the guy I heard it from was just hyping it up.. Thanks for that tho!

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