Decaf Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) the problem when i tried was 1) my knukonceptz are curved and dont even fit into the opening and 2) even stinger/db link/rf rcas did not work because it seems the ground shield doesnt go down far enough into the unit... only way we've gotten it to work is thru an amp, which doesnt matter, its the same end result lbox, a headunits amp that power speakers can clip before/after the rca's do... so that is not a sufficient Edited December 11, 2011 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Not really decaf. You have to know where the deck distorts on rca output.

Decaf Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Not really decaf. You have to know where the deck distorts on rca output. gain at min testing speaker terminal + is same as testing headunit rca so says the booklet, at least thats how i understood it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 You misread it decaf.

Decaf Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 We also chose an RCA input connector for a few reasons: • It makes it pretty easy to measure the output of a headunit directly, if you choose to do so this insinuates that most people will check headunit rca clipping through the amplifier they are soon to set the gains on. this is advantageous because then you do not have to switch the probes. simply turn gain down to min and check headunit with track 1/2, then switch to desired db track and turn gain up.

Lbox88 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) So what about amps that have RCA outputs then? Aren't they supposed to pass through without modification? So you could measure at the output of the HU at the RCA out on the amp... theoretically with amp gains down, then simply switch over to the amp speaker outputs. I know, dangerous words like "supposed to" and "theoretically". Edited December 11, 2011 by Lbox88 Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
