Jd1102 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 yeah the bass knob goes to the amp. and the volume on the amp is all the way up. so im just adjusting the bass by the knob not sure if that's bad or not. never had a crunch amp but gonna guess with gain all the way up its a clipping light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewbie Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Damn so i need to move the gain down, and the bass knob up. That's the same thing though, so i take it i just need a better amp to push the sub i already have, but no point in getting into that lol.

TheNewbie Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yeah that is how it works i checkedd tonight because someone told me that, but to prevent the clipping if i turn the gain down on my amp will that should eliminate the clipping, but then my sub doesn't push as hard.. guess this is what they mean when they say don't buy a cheap amp it won't push the rms is says haha Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

TheNewbie Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 well the clipping would be because of the amp tho right not the sub? But i still agree time for dc's lol. I just gotta sell my truck first unfortunately. I would post a picture of the truck i got with the cvx in it dunno how though.

korey_hofer Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 clipping is from either you have your head unit up to much, or your amp is turned up to much. clipping is when you try to overdrive the amp causing power spikes and causing the sound wave to have the tips cut off. When the sub is playing and it gets to the flat area in the sound wave it stays in place and heats up from not being able to move to cool down and the spike in current that clipping gives off here is a picture of what a normal sound wave and the clipped on the right.

SPLWGN Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Both the amp and head unit have a point where they will clip, the sub is just whats taking the power so as long as the head unit and amp are fine the sub isnt going to produce further clipping lol.....also gotta watch out for clipping in songs......but yes i wish i had access to DCs and hopefully you will like them .....upload photos onto photobucket, imageshack, tinypic, etc. just some image hosting website then get the code and put it on here EDIT: pretty much what he said ^^ haha Edited June 15, 2011 by SPLWGN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
