big money, big money
my only thought for this is that the 9800 watt rating has to be exceptionally low and generous because at 16 volts and 900 fuse link rating you got over 4k watts of heat which I'm betting this amp only uses 2-3 in heat and as for the batteries, they're rated for 675 cranking amps a piece which is 2025 together, so they only need to providing half the cranking power just to keep the amp along with the bursts, not the undistorted rating, plus the amperage of the charger which altogether, I'm guessing this is going to total at least 50kw for all 5 tests together

well I feel lucky, my dumbass for whatever reason was connecting the dd-1's ground clip to the output ground *facepalm*, I might go check the tuning now lol
-
I'm confused why people think I'm talking about subwoofers, I was talking about an amp in general but if it matters it is a speaker amp
I just don't want to turn the gain even a hair too low, yeah I know it's a bit excessive, but that's me lol
and the guy linking about distortion being hard to hear, I hear things too easily, I only need my laptop 30% volume and I can hear those mild differences in tone, when I turn the volume on my head unit past 47 right into 48, it's hard to tell, but its there, 49 gets full horrible though
but damn is everything louder
-
using the said tones on the current disk tunes to .1%thd.
Since each of the 3 tracks are a lower decibal level so when you play a normal track that is not -5 or -10 db it is louder.
If you want to, you can use the dd-1 with the woofers hooked up at said impedance, and it will work just fine.
But be aware your woofers will start to get loud as you turn the gain up so you may want to do it out of town in a parking lot.
Also if you tune the gain with your woofers connected and use the -5db track, it will be closer to -3, and you will have slighhtly less overlap in power as you woulld with the woofers disconnected.
I just tuned 4 Sundown SA-18s with an Atomic 7000.1 wired at .5 with the woofers connected, deffinitly somethhing you dont want to do in your driveway.
But I thought the dd-1 tunes to just under 1% distortion?
well either way, I'm loving how loud everything is now, and I tuned both subs and speakers to -5db for max quality
4 polk mm571's on a helix blue b four and 2 alpine type r 12's on a kenwood excelon xr-1s, giving them only half their power, its a start to most, but for how clean it is, I love it, just was wondering if its possible to get it cleaner if I can get louder stuff at some point because clean should always come before loud in my book
-
Ok so I love how well it tunes to the maximum amp power, but I was wondering if you guys would ever consider releasing another disc or a different dd-1 that could accomodate to tuning to .5 or .1% distortion for amplifiers
my speaker amp is rated at .03% distortion at 14.4 volts so I was just wondering if that would ever be possible to run close to it's distortion rating -
They have been doing tis for a long time now in Norway. And one day some unlucky bastard called one of the biggest IT news sites in Norway.
Translated trough google, there is a 40min video at the bottom of the page, quite funny the last minutes.
I really enjoyed reading and watching that, thank you
Oh I don't give the users credit at all. Hell I got a ticket from our amazing helpdesk last month from a user that called in because ANTS where coming out of her keyboard. What am I supposed to do about that? BITCH STOP EATING OVER YOUR KEYBOARD.
I finally got around to calling her a few days later.
"Hey this is Desktop services, I hear you have ants"
"Yeah, I did, I sprayed them with a bunch of raid, I got really sick, but I'm better now and the ants are gone so that's good"
:: at this point I mute the phone because I'm laughing hysterically. ::
"Well that's good, glad it all worked out, have a nice day"
I got another one from a lady who claimed she couldn't get pages to load unless she rocked her computer back and fourth. You know, like a baby.
I have worked at a community college for from 2011 to 2013, and in those 2 years you will find out who the staff members are in terms of intelligence, ignorance and respect
Some are patient and polite while others are understanding and tech friendly, the students were rarely understanding or patient except for a rare few and the adult students were 50/50 understanding and being rude
Good job warning people steve, its good to know someone that looks out for others
also thank you to you and tony for your distortion meter technology, my amp is tuned to pure quality and the loudness is still more to my liking
(I have an excelon xr-1s refurbished and it was at 4 volts with a 4.8 volt head unit, with your distortion meter and the cleanest quality -5db, it tunes to where kenwood says is 2 volts when the head unit is at full volume lol)
-
that is crazy clean and awesome
lol I had to turn off malwarebytes to view the pictures, good ole russian

Even thought hifonics do seem controversial and look cheezy (imo), my buddy got one that's 2 channel 600 rms x 2 @ 2ohms claimed, not idea if its the real power or not but his pioneer champion pro's are damn loud although I don't like because one his subs don't sound to what I like at any volume and 2 his amp overheats on hot summer days because it's class a/b but if they work, more power to em although I would love to see em tested
-
I just finally got around to watching the first video of previous one, I mean I don't truly have my wiring all hidden and in order because well I'm not done, waiting on my helix amp
, but that amount of excess wire, shoddy mounting of speakers and fuse block and the "extra cooling" was just flat out disgusting, to charge someone 5 grand, they need a upper cut to the face, he should have got his money back on most or all of the install costs, that's not an install, it's a monstrosity, keep awesome, yours is the ideal install, the standard all should abide by -
I wish the boss amp would blow, but sadly it's so shitty it would probably just distort heavily or pop the fuse, I think it's funny as hell when they try to say some bullshit that their amps will do 1200 @ 4 ohms with only 2 25 amp fuses, even if you went against logic (which would probably annoy D'amore) and proposed the amp was 100% efficient, it couldn't even do that @ 16 volts

In my oldsmobile I had a problem with sometimes (about 10% of the time I'd say) noise getting to the speaker from the engine and I think it probably was this because I had a really old quality kenwood for the back speakers and a cheap kenwood for front and I got this nice hiss when I hit the gas
With my current setup I think the differential style is correct for both amps ( newer kenwoods) as I've heard no distortion to speakers and they are loud enough that I would
On another note, not all of the industry has forgotten about this, Jl audio has it in some of their amp manuals like this, but don't really go on to explain it much at all

First computer was a custom built cheap desktop from my dad
intel celeron 1.3Ghz processor, I only know because it sits in my dresser drawer now
no idea on ram
then went through another custom older computer and then a gateway with pentium 4 and 1GB of ram and firewall
all systems were xp when I got em
no idea what the computers were when I used as a kid but played those old mickey mouse games and a partial tomb raider demo my dad had along with freddy the fish
now I'm sitting with a dell vostro 17" laptop 2.2Ghz Core 2 duo 4GB of ram 160GB hdd and dvd burner nvidia 8600gt m and a 1920x1200 screen harvested from a 17" inspiron after the original 1440 x900 died
this laptop is a tank, found out when I got it in 12th grade from my dad that it was magnesium alloy and it sure came take a hit lol
this one got me used to trying to avoid corners with my school bag which most laptops would lose a screen if they hit like this did
and my main now
lenovo y570
2nd gen core i7 2.2GHz base clock, 8GB of ram 256GB ssd bluray drive nvidia gt555m (sadly this is the crippled version with 2/3 core of original but clocked higher) and of course the other sad moment, it's a 1366x768, but it'll place most current games you throw at it, and folding@home
and of course the best use 8-12 min dvd and 45 - 1hr and 15 min bluray conversions to mp4 using handbrake
while I'm here, does anyone know common failures to an apple 2 c plus, I got it a few years back in votech from an instructor and tried to figure out what to put on it to get it to like factory with software but gave up and a year later it won't turn on

The only thing that remains is how are stereo head units set to handle these different cable types, are they geared to work with one or the other or do they somehow work with both
also how do you handle using the preamp out on one amp or an equalizer going to another amp with a different rca type
great information but now I feel more confused lol

cannot wait until you guys have more in stock, I am definitely trading up, would love to keep the old one, but idk, I might, but the new one is tempting and $50 trade-up is almost irresistible...
