help using my smd dd1
erwindmac replied to Erwindmac Suz's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
do i use the smd dd1 to set my ssf or just the bass gain -
not sure how much it's moving never really check it yet there really no telling when it happen's its all random on the time when it does so i could be sitting for who knows how long before it does but one thing i did not put down is as i turn it down i can still hear the sound but very quite. my gain on my amp is set about little over a quart of the gain so it's not at half way yet. i set the gain on my amp by ear and i watch the sub and listen to it and same with the ssf to when i start hearing the sound change i back it down a bit but never to the point where the sub would clip. so i am not really sure if the sub sound changes at 800 watts or what before it clips since this my first time hearing a sundown audio sub so i did not want to take the chance to find out.

ok guys i need your help here not sure if i mess up my sub or if i just broke it in. i have a single sa-12 d2 running at 1 ohm with 800 watts into it. the box i built is a 1.75 cubic feet box tune to 32hz. on my amp i have my lpf set to 80 with a 24db slope and my ssf set to 28hz. the reason i believe i may of mess up my sub is because i can be playing a song that hit's real low for a while to where my mirror and window will start shaking and after a while i start hearing this sound coming from my box not sure if it's the sub or box but i am guessing it's the sub. the sound sounds like the coil's are scratching or something hard to really tell so i took my sub out of the box to check the sub out. the coils look like brand new from what i can see threw the vents where the basket sticks on top of and when i push down on the sub i hear no sound coming from the coils and the sub still feels a little stiff. but ever since this happen i had to turn the gain down and my ssf up or else the sound will come back again. so i was thinking about re coning the sub and going with the spl coil's hoping i can keep my 800 watts if not up it up some more. the amp i have right now is a mb quart onx1.1500d which can do 1500 watts at 1 ohm. so i was wondering if i mess up my sub if that is the problem would it be better if i re con the sub with spl coil or do copper ?.
