NZBasshead Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 ive got no idea how to set gains and my amp has the detect clipping button you push and it lights up when supposively you have the gain to high i dont know if its accurate but ive got 2 soundmagus 3500d amps bridged on 2 blaupunkt 18s @ 0.5ohm (because the amps are 0.5ohm stable) my meter reads before the amp goes into clipping it around 97.6vac is that safe for my subs? there 1800rms 5400w max and i doubt very much these amps would even pull 1000rms realisticly even though they claim 3500rms at 0.5ohm let alone 7000rms bridged but any way is that safe?

TheBetterMethod Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Do the subs feel hot immediately after playing? Do you ever smell the subs? With box rise, you aren't running a ton of power. Make sure the signal is clean. Get it tuned. The DD-1 is awesome.

NZBasshead Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Do the subs feel hot immediately after playing? Do you ever smell the subs? With box rise, you aren't running a ton of power. Make sure the signal is clean. Get it tuned. The DD-1 is awesome. i dont smell the subs at all then again i dont play ive only played it for around 7-10mins max at full tilt the mrs cant take how loud it is for 2 long its not loud at all to me to give you guys a fair idea ive got the subs sitting in the trunk of a 95camry in sealed boxes YES sealed boxes lol so as you can imagine now that loud but anyways i never smell the subs and the subs only get warm after an 1hour play on 3quarters of the max volume i normally go which is 34 and i can only go around 25 with the mrs in the car and the vac is around 80 at the volume so 80 vac for an hour then they get pretty warm is that ok? or should my subs not get warm at all? i live in new zealand and would love to get a dd-1 do they get shipped international??? im keen to buy 1 asap my headunits a gay fusion one the max volume on it is 51 and at fult tilt i wont go any further than 34 how can i know if the signal would be clean without a dd-1 or o-scope?

TheBetterMethod Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'd say your amp is right, you're definitely clipping. They'll ship the DD-1 wherever you'll pay to ship it to.

STEvil Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 .5 stable by themselves means you need to be around 1 ohm strapped. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
