Hi all, I hope this is is in the right category. This is my first time using a DSP or an optical signal in a car audio application. I will start with the equipment, then ask the questions. I do have an ANC bypass installed also. 2019 Ram 1500 with factory 12" UConnect Radio PAC AP4-CH41 with APA-TOS1 For factory radio integration (I am using an optical cable from this to the DSP) Mosconi 8 to 12 Aerospace DSP Mosconi 5/30 Amp Morel Elate 502 Front stage (Mid bass in door, tweeter in factory 3.5 location on the dash) Morel Tempo Ultra Integra 692 (Rear doors) (2x) Sundown E V.4 10" in Fox Acoustics dual 10" ported box Question 1: How do I check the input signal to confirm that there isn't a factory EQ set in the radio? Do I just use a flat EQ/default settings in the DSP to see what the RTA shows? Also, without using RCA's what is the best way to check H/U clipping using the DD1? I checked it with the default DSP settings through the amp. Question 2: For anyone familiar with the Mosconi software it allows you to enter a number from 1-200 on the input side to set your input gain. I went with 100 which, if my memory serves me correctly, I believe is 0 db and 200 is +6 db. Someone mentioned to me that optical signals don't clip? Not sure how true that is but should my input gain be set higher? On the output side I couldn't get past +2.5 db before clipping on the front and rear channels where I was able to get to +6 db before clipping on the sub channel using a DD1. To me, this seems like the front/rear channels are clipping very early. Is there something I can do to fix this? With the settings the way they are, I don't feel like I get much volume-wise. If more info is needed please let me know, I am eager to learn this side of car audio. I have tried watching the Gladen Mosconi videos that Frank Miketta has on YouTube but I have such a hard time following along while having to read captions.

I know the post is a little old now but I went through a breakup with the g/f of over 2 years and was takin it kinda rough so I wasn't really on here. I have 5 sanctioned 300's but no 800's yet. I was throwing 15# but just recently switched to 14#. I am a fan of storm and roto grip and am currently liking the crossroads a lot! Thats me throwing a couple shots with a track 508a -
RE XXX 15 sealed box question

Any other help for sealed box's? -
RE XXX 15 sealed box question
IKnowImLost224 replied to IKnowImLost224's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
I was considering making another one tuned a little lower also. I am currently around 35 hz, which doesn't sound bad. I just re tuned with the DD-1 and it was sounding real good! But I either wanna go sealed or aero ported on my next box. Just not familiar with either -
RE XXX 15 sealed box question
IKnowImLost224 replied to IKnowImLost224's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
What did you have it tuned to? And im not sure about there being a chart for converting but RE has specs for both sealed and ported im just wondering when a sealed box becomes too big and when it can damage a sub. -
I know most of you probably think a sealed box for this sub is stupid but I wanna try it and see what result I get for a SQ setup. Just trying to figure out what I should do as far as internal volume. RE recommends 2.1 cu ft but someone the other day suggested 3 cu ft. At what point will a sealed box be too big where I could risk damaging the sub? Also when tuning an amp for a sealed box where do you set LPF and subsonic?

Okay thanks for the input. I am tryin to get the sundown from him lol

Anybody?

Talking to a guy locally who says he has a sundown 3500, and a American bass vfl 150.1. I have a sundown 2500 and love it, he is telling that this vfl is better than the 3500. I don't know much about American bass and don't know what they do as far as how much over rated power @ 1 ohm. Reason I'm asking is because I may look into upgrading depending on his prices

No you read that correctly. Ive had 3 of the XXX12D2's. They flex a MASSIVE amount. by the way o/p, XXX woofers are SQL not SPL Ty sir, did not know that. I feel like the sub gets loud but only on certain songs. Coulda been the way I made the box too though it does get very loud especially for an SQL speaker From my experience with them, the 12's like ~4^3ft before displacement, and need at least a 4" wide port to breathe properly. My box was tuned to 32.9hz, at loved frequencies in the range of 25-40hz, but would redoing to 70hz and less. goodluck with yours I blew my last XXX out this afternoon, and am now woofer-less :'( Let me know if you need any more info on the XXX series Lol how did you manage that? These things are rated at 2000 rms! -

you bring on a very valid point sir -
I just got a 15" Fi BL for $150 from a guy locally. If it's a dual 2 ohm like my RE XXX 15, could I run both subs off of my sundown SAZ-2500d? If they are the same resistance I don't see why not but just wanted to check first. I do understand they would probably have different imp rise though.
