Decaf Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 the excelons dont clip til 35 usually, the non "X" models clip sooner. what i meant is set the volume where mids/highs clip on headunit, then adjust sub level so that the sub rcas clip at same volume as mids/highs rcas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 are you saying that the bass is not louder now with a bigger amp? Here is my question. Did you have the gains set with the old headunit using a dd1? If not then you where probably louder before because you may have been clipping and not known it. You can have clipping on your subs and not hear it pretty easy. Also the manual says to set the subs with -5db not 0db. Not sure if you did this or not. If i misunderstood you, then just ignore my rambling. Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

01ExSport Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 a 500 watt increase isn't going to be night and day usually, even going from 2k from 1k will, in a perfect world, yield a 3db increase, which you most likely wouldn't notice too much. Even if it 's not too much louder, you're around the same output while knowing your equipment's safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it 's not too much louder, you're around the same output while knowing your equipment's safe. it shuld tho bc i had the gain set VERY low bc of a small 40a fuse under the hood i didnt wanna pop...so u figure it was doing at most 500w, not including where i set the gain so it wuldnt pop...and yes, i do understand that fuses dont always pop at the rated load and thats its usually double, but even then, it still would be at MOST 1k, again, not including where i set the gain...it was honestly at about 1/8...the kenwood has 2v preouts as well...thats why im saying, it could have just been my ears when i did it...i was gettin demos all day from 156db trucks and cars at the meet Quote personal build in progress http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188656-2013-kia-sorento-6-12-no-wall/ www.facebook.com/TurbulentDesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
