RooTxBeeR Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 So I already know that my car has better low output with a door open or with windows open. My question is, When I play some songs with higher bass along with low, when i play low notes, not to much woofer movement, yet when I hit a higher note, the subs surround wrinkles and even on some songs I hit the maximum xmax. My HU max is 35, I normaly go to 30, and barely ever over, although some songs I can. If I play On my level at 31 when the high notes hit, I can hear the VC smacking the bottom of the magnet, but for Trunk Bang by Durrough, I can play it hat 33 and no problem, it's loud as shit. The other thing If I drive and play trunk bang at 33 my subs start to smell yet when I sit still I can play it like that for a long time no problem. Also driving while playing that song at 33 is with windows down so I can get low end output.

Rebel4055 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Sounds like you like to go over the volume you gained your amp at and start to clip it. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

RooTxBeeR Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Huh? gain isn't a volume knob lol, my gain is set properly with a oscope. I am definalty not clipping because I have played it for days straight for hours on end, and no problems at all with the volumes I said here.

RooTxBeeR Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't get what you mean by go over the volume my amp is gained at, I am not clipping though, I know that. If I was clipping my subs would be blown already, yet they are the same as when I got them day 1.

Rebel4055 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) You set the HU at a volume and then gain the amp right? The way you were describing it you had gained the amp at volume 30 and then on some songs you like to go like 2-3 clicks above that. Or are you clip free at 35/35?

tonedeaf Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Your HU goes to 35. Playing at 33 is probably clipping. You clearly forgot to check it with an oscope because clipping starts at the beginning of the spectrum. From your source. Starts with CD player/ipod => Headunit => Linedriver/EQ/processor => amps. Amps arent the only thing that causes clipping, but most thing that is where it is derived. Check your HU with an oscope and never go over X volume or you'll be clipping. As for low notes & your subs not moving as much, what is your subsonic set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 ^ explained it hell of a lot better than I tried haha Quote Rest In Peace mother.

RooTxBeeR Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't have access to a Oscope anymore, and only scoped the amp, there is no Subsonic filter on my amp, and I only have 2 songs that I cannot hit which are a slowed version on on my level and sugga cooker by DC yung hot. Every other song I can hit. Can anyone explain the why when I play high notes I get crazy high ass excursion, I am afraid that when I put my new amp in it is going to blow the shit out of my subs when higher notes hit.

mlstrass Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 smelling sound when driving around is your voltage dropping and the signal is clipping. You fuel pump/injectors/ignition, etc... are drawing more current and your electrical can't keep up. Try shrinking down your port area some and see if that helps. Some scraps of wood or whatever. I've seen this same issue with RD subs a while back and that helped the problem. You need to hit up some local shows. Sept 11th there's one in Elgin I'll be at...
