  1. 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. 

  2. 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

  3. i had a L port box @ 3.92CuFt after displacement, and it sounded absolutely fantastic.

    so i mean i know it doesn't totally pertain to having it in a sealed enclosure, but take it for what its worth.

    if i remember correctly, isn't there a formula or spread sheet for recommendations to convert from ported to sealed internal volumes?

    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.

  4. 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?

  5. 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

  6. Well... ill be completely honest.

    I was being straight retarded...

    The negative output from my capacitor to amp fell out,

    So I plugged it back in, and turned the sub on. Ugh....

    30 seconds later; smoke.

    Also, I don't have an inline fuse between cap and amp (obviously I should)

    E/: by the way neuman, ill sell you my blown on cheap.

    Recone kits are available, I think possibly into even dual 1ohm

    But don't quote me on that

    Damn man thats no good

  7. 54mm one way xmax! am i reading that wrong? that is over 4 inches of total throw i do not believe that.

    NEUMAN

    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!

    WOW. i will have to look in to them a bit.

    NEUMAN

    I'll sell ya mine if you wanna drive to Michigan lol
