teamace24 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 I have a double Din Pioneer f90bt the volume goes all the way up to 62. I want to know if any one who owns it has found out where the volume distorts at exactly so i can tinker a little with some amps. Also the pioneers have this setting thats called SLA that starts at 0 but when you raise it everything boosts on it from highs all the way to my substage and want to know where everybody has this set as it can go from 0-4 and each increment is very noticeable. I ask since i know the alpine decks ive had there is a subwoofer bass control setting on it that ive always had to set at around 12-15(15 is max) to get the bass sounding right and with the pioneers the SLA seems to get my bass sounding harder but im wondering if i shouldnt do this and just increase my gain on amplifier a little to compensate. Any info on where it distorts or SLA?

Decaf Posted January 22, 2012 Report Posted January 22, 2012 source level adjustment is meant to align the volumes from source to source typically when u turn on the radio it is quieter than a cd/usb/ipod. so it should be used mostly to TURN DOWN the source level (cd/usb/ipod) to be even with the radio, not turned up sub level can be left at 0 and iirc the headunit can go to 60/62 clean Quote
teamace24 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 Thanks for the info decaf thats what i meant by my questions. So youve had experience with this head unit right? So leave the sla at 0 and then adjust my amps better right? Because when i put it at 0 (from 3) my setup got a lot quieter. Plus i have some tweeters still hooked up to the headunit (kicker ks) and those distorted a lot at around 52 when i had the sla at 3 so im trying to balance out the sound with my components as well.

Yes, reset using 0 for SLA. You will be able to turn it up louder and the tweeters shouldnt be as harsh... also your eq should be flat for now til you figure out gains/volume. So with SLA at 0 just use whatever the highest volume you can go it before the tweeters start to sound bad, then set amp gains with that volume. You will be getting more voltage through the RCAs, and a cleaner signal. Quote
