BJD3 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Okay so as long as I set the gains correctly then this setup will totally work? Yes, find someone with a o-scope or better yet get urself one of these Click Here and learn to set ur gains urself could you explain to me how that is better than an oscope? It's faster and more simple to use but I don't see how it's ''better'' An oscope (well, the scopes we use) would only be able to tell you if you're clipping. The DD1 tells you whether or not you have distortion. As I know you know, you can have distortion without clipping, but you can't have clipping without distortion.

optical Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 it detects harmonic distortion ^ maybe that is why he considers it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's faster and more simple to use but I don't see how it's ''better'' You took better to serious, i meant it as "heres a better (cheaper) idea", i never said that the DD was better than an O-scope. Some people dont have the money to by a o-scope, and if the DD works as its said it will, it is way cheaper than an o-scope.

korey_hofer Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I didn't know it would should harmonic distortion, the audio pipe guys need to invest in one then. I was serious with my question, I figured I over looked something and I had. They are the same price though (dd and oscope) Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

The DD1 tells you whether or not you have distortion. As I know you know, you can have distortion without clipping, but you can't have clipping without distortion. if you are just using a cheap hand held one, yes. but let me ask you this, when you have the bass turned up full tilt do you really care if there is a slight amount of distortion? could you ever actually hear it? wouldnt all the rattling panels be 100x worse? but this isnt a topic about the dd1 so lets not make it into one.

VathanaKim Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I wonder if this one is any good.... http://www.amazon.com/Seeedstudio-DSO-Nano-oscilloscope-V2/dp/B004DE31U0 It's cheap enough, you get what you pay for probably applies here I am afraid lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgroce Posted August 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 lol sooo...... back over here haha Okay.... so as long as I correctly tune the amp then everything will be good? I am asking about this setup because I plan on eventually adding more amps but for now this will have to do.

korey_hofer Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 yes you will be fine, I've ran my subs off head unit power before. The only thing you will have a problem with is it won't break in nearly as fast so it will take longer to play low as it is designed to do.

Skullz Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion Picture one shows some samples of distortion in various forms, using the blue line almost to the end at the bottom of the wave you see how it changes direction acting kind of like a V, happens to be distortion and using an o-scope would be easy to think nothing of of it cause your looking for what's happening on the ORANGE line.
