  3. The SMD Astro Van - (build coming soon)

    in Just Meade....my projects - Tons of SMD Builds here!

    Posted

    With as much representing RF as Steve has done, it would be really cool if RF would come out with a SMD edition t2500bdcp or SMD bigger then 2500 watt amps for this astro. I've seen more done for RF from SMD then RF itself.Just thought it would be a cool idea.

    thanks man i appreciate that.sorry guys, i still own the van but i am working on the Honda at the moment. Van = next. Plus, getting woofers from Scott is like ordering autographed American flags from Kim Jong UN.....

    Lmao.... Might have to use that one

  13. New Album - PSYPH MORRISON - THE DIAMOND IN THE MUDD (edit: Now on Itunes & Rhapsody!) Links inside

    nope didn't notice. My tweeters never blew from playing it so i dunno man...Nothin we can do about it now anyway so im not too concerned.

    I think there was some compression issue. Because I'm listening to it now and it sounds perfect. I cant hear that slight crackle that distorts psyphs voice. where as before i could hear it atleast 6 times during the song. that was not even 5 months ago. Interesting. Any thoughts anyone? I wonder how it could be fixed now

    Hey Steve did you ever notice the very slight issue with his song "dope" on the cd? Right around 1:00 it cuts out / distorts his voice. Check closely and see if you notice. I think I counted it 5 times during that song. I couldn't listen to that song cause I was scared for my tweeters. It's such an awesome song too..

    Hope you find it. I made a thread on this a while back with a video demonstrating it if you wanna search it. Thanks man! Can't wait for his next song that you should leak :)

  19. settings on my 2k & 175.4 Amps

    Only way anyone can get you even close is if they own a dd1 / oscope and have your same headunit (to find clipping point) and even then they could only help with the gains if they had your same headunit AND amps even then it wouldn't be exact. 6v pre outs means generally lower gain, between no gain and 14% gain. 4v pre outs means low gain also but higher then 6v settings, generally 15% to 20% and 2v pre out is the base line on aftermarket headunits and they normally require 21% to 40% gain.

    All of that is not reliable, and is only to give you an idea how the output voltage of your headunit effects your gain settings assuming you know exactly where the volume clips on the headunit. Generally I'd set everything half of what I recommended above to your matching output voltage just to be safe till you find some way to do it properly.

    Once you do, simply find the clipping point with a -0db tone on 1k and on 40hz, pick the lower of the numbers. And then use -5db 1khz to set the gain on your 175.4 and use -5 or -10 for your 2k.

    If someone tries to flame over the above on gains, that was me really trying to at least get him started but still safe till he can do it properly

  23. DD-1 And A EQ

    in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics

    Posted · Edited by Swordlordboy1234

    Is it also true that once that it all done you can only EQ down not up?

    no, you can go up if you want. But of course, EQin'g is about cutting anywhere you can and only boosting very slightly. It's never a good idea to boost a frequency too much. I can tell you this, starting out flat on the EQ, just using the DD-1, your system should already sound better and you will find yourself not wanting to boost the shit out of the frequencies like you used to. No drawing smiley faces with the sliders anymore :D
    I leave mine flat and it sounds great but I'm no SQ audio file guy. I was just trying to learn a bit incase I ever did decide to get an EQ with more then 5 bands

    Edit : anyone that I've tuned their system with the DD1 bass boost off and flat EQ's and they always questioned me until they heard it. LOL
