IKnowImLost224 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Im new to tuning amps and I was wondering if I could get some help setting these up. I bought a DD-1 to figure out where my gain needs to be. The gain is set and I have a MTX 9500 that hits like puke. I'm trying to get max SPL out of the setup using a Power Acoustik BAMF 4000/1D. I guess I'm kinda looking for what each setting does. Bass eq I'm guessing is "bass boost". Subsonic to me seems like it changes the "punch" of the notes and LPF when turned down seems to just kill the bass. I know I sound very noob but I'm just trying to see if I can get some help from the experienced builders on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 subsonic filter kills bass at set ferquence and below i set mine at 25hz so it will not play anything below 25hz low pass filter kill ferquwnces above what its set at i start at 80hz so it will not play anything above 80hz bass eq if its a boost dont use it but im not sure on that amp Have you ever had your woofers blown?

IKnowImLost224 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Cool thanks man. I'll try taking a look at it again and see if I can make this sound like a 9500 should lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowImLost224 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Well I tried again and I can't get it very loud at all lol. I have my amp bridged and although it's a SVC 4 ohm I thought it woulda been a little louder than it is. Maybe I'll try facing the sub towards the inside of the car instead of the trunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 those adjustments only affect "loudness" a little bit they are so your subs sound good and dont play to high or low out of tunning and blow your shit up Have you ever had your woofers blown?

IKnowImLost224 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 It sounds decent around volume 10-16 on my pioneer radio which goes to about 60. After that in doesn't get much louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyjuice Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Had the same problem with my pioneer headunit. It sounds great all the way up to 18 then never gets louder. I was told to set the hu eq at flat and adjust the gain properly so that it peaks its loudness before clipping. Dont know if that will work but maybe someone can give some insight?

bassahaulic Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 That woofer shouldn't be a SVC for one. Reading > me at 4am. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Legacy Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Had the same problem with my pioneer headunit. It sounds great all the way up to 18 then never gets louder. I was told to set the hu eq at flat and adjust the gain properly so that it peaks its loudness before clipping. Dont know if that will work but maybe someone can give some insight? If you set the eq at flat and set the gain to not be clipping, when you change the settings for the eq it will clip....well at least thats what i've found to happen. i'm sure someone will agree with me that you should set the gain when you have your eq set to how you want it. OP: sounds like the gain is set to high if you are peaking at such a low volume. (thats my input. Anyone feel free to correct me if i have made a mistake) Honda Accord SirT + Mad sounds = Awesomeness VTEC go BRAAAAAPPPP http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141261-99-accord-sirt-sq-build/ Alright well i never done the big 3 so i see in my vision my truck on fire...

matt14 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I first set my gains at flat then checked them after setting the h.u eq and it had some distortion. So I re set them with the eq where I like it. 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
