SlamminBeats Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) EDIT: think i figured it out, HU doesnt distort at all with 4 channel, but distorts at 57/62 on bass amp when sub level is at 0 So, i tuned the 4 channel and bass amp with the volume at 56. bass amp tuning= easy 4 channel: Channel A gets tuned through the (+) and channel B gets tuned through the (-) 4 channel : put the red prong on the SPEAKER TERMINALS, not the RCA holes, when tuning the amp, and when finding max volume. Also, I used TRACK 7 for bass amp and TRACK 4 for the 4 channel HU MAX VOLUME FINDINGS (Used TRACK 1 & 2) 4 channel doesnt distort 62/62 bass amp distorted at 57/62 everything was on flat except now im realizing i had the sound retriever setting on. is that going to be ok? the meter didnt show distortion when i tuned it so nothing can get damaged right if that was a small factor? Also, can i freely change my HU's EQ setting without retesting the amps for distortion?? Thanks for any help in advance!

Lbox88 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have 2 of the DEH-6300UB and found that the RCA's clip at 62 on mine, but the speaker level output would clip at 49. Make sure you check out both. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splzx3 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 set it all flat and do changes on the amp Quote ________________________________________________________________________ deepsilencer, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:32, said: splzx3, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:27, said: i had my fun on one of his videos...till he blocked me then i got my mother into it lol after her he closed the comments xD lol your mom is a G!

Make sure you check out both. what do you mean by this. its weird, like 2/4 inputs distorted at the same and then the other 2/4 distorted at a different gain. but neither triggered the HU to clip. so how to you test RCA clipping vs speaker level?

SQMonte Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yes, off = full range You're confusing me though....first you say you deck doesn't distort then you say it distorts at two different levels WHEN CHECKING THE AMP. Completely lost bro! Do me a favor, take a smoke break, go do something else for a minute, then come back after a few minutes, catch your breath and let's try this all over again.

Lbox88 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I have two RCA's out, sub/rear speaker and then front speaker RCA's. Both of those did not clip til I hit 62. Then if I hook directly to one of my speaker outputs, since I use the HU to power my speakers, it clips at 49 there. I ran into this problem when I first got my DD1, and Decaf verified that it happens to him often too.

Do me a favor, take a smoke break, go do something else for a minute, then come back after a few minutes, catch your breath and let's try this all over again. what i mean is the HU doesnt distort right. then whe ni set the gains on the 4 channel, two of the channels distort at a different level than the other two. so if i move the red prong from the dd-1 to each of the 4 positive speaker inputs, they distort at different levels when setting the gains (not the HU level).
