help me choose budget sound system for 2011 scion xb
IndianaBassHead replied to hartastic's topic in Mid's and highs
lol gotcha. That does seem true on this thread. But he really is seeking help on this one. I would help but I'm not the guy to talk to on mids/highs. I'm all about SPL lol -

IndianaBassHead replied to hartastic's topic in Mid's and highs

Quick question, I just picked up a dd-1 and it shows one flash of clipping on 33 volume out of 40 but then if i continue to turn it up, the light goes off and doesn't show up again. So am I safe to tune the amp on 40 volume since the clip light isn't on? I know in the manual it says not to worry about one flash but it stays on if I leave it on 33 volume but not above. It does the same thing on the amp when It's about 1/2 way but doesn't show a continues clip signal until about 3/4 of the way up. I just want to make sure everything is perfect. thanks for the help!

dd-1 -5 40hz track
IndianaBassHead replied to soundstream15's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
in the manual it says play track 3(-5) for sound quality and a little less bass, track 7(-15) for the loudest spl, and track 5(-10) for a happy medium. I tune to track 5 just to be safe. -
dd-1 -5 40hz track
IndianaBassHead replied to soundstream15's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
In the manual it states to use -5, -10, or even -15 to set the gains. so that is fine that he used -5. I used the -10 db track to tune my system. -

subwoofer wise, I would suggest obsidian audio as it is, in my opinion, the best bang for your buck. that will leave you will plenty of leftover cash for the rest of the build. -
Just figured I'd make a post about how I fell in love with my new dd-1. lol. I just got it in the mail today and on my lunch break, I tuned my hdc3 18's which are runnin off a crescendo bc3500. I gotta say, holy shit! It sounds incredible. The subs are still in their break in period and at 15 out of 40 volume, my windshield is flexing like no other! Only downside is, now i need to amplify my mids/highs! Thanks again Steve! 2 thumbs way up on the dd-1!

well everything you need to know can most likely be found in this forum with some research. d1 is dual 1 ohm. parallel wiring is + to + and - to - on the voice coils. series is + on one coil to - on the other. then the + and - left over go to the amp.
-
a d1 can be ran at either 0.5 or 2 ohms depending on how you wire the voice coils. parallel wiring would result in a 0.5 ohm load while series wiring would make it 2 ohms.

Subs up/ port up or a wall?
IndianaBassHead replied to IndianaBassHead's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
ok will do. the box is built strong. its 1 1/2" thick all the way around. but i was going to use l brackets bolted to the floor. would that be strong enough? -

IndianaBassHead replied to IndianaBassHead's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
back seat will be in regardless. So either is an option at this point. and i think i like the idea of a wall better.
