ChevyBoy95 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) the track 7 is about the worst thing you could have set your gains with. Decaf i think said his music is around -5db, which means you have a HUGE gap which just about all the basslines will be over. DD-1 is useless if the user doesnt know how to properly use it. you were probably almost constantly clipping as far as bass amp. next time set it with 0db or -5db and i bet it doesnt happen again.

Noobtastic14 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) The DD-1 is a great tool for the average consumer to set gains consistently and accurately. But, a DD-1 is not an end all solution to never clipping your woofers. Different songs are written at different levels, some include clipping from the start and some don't. It is the users responsibility to be "in tune" with their setup and recognize when they are pushing to hard and adjust. For example, I've watched the man Steve himself alter his levels constantly depending on song and frequency. I saw it as a constant monitoring of the health of the setup and controlling variables. I'm sorry you thought this woofer was indestructible and using the DD-1 was definitely a good move now you need to refine these skills by using the DD-1 with the right tones (I used 40hz -10db for my Scope) and constantly improving on how you are controlling the system. -Drew **Remember, woofers and amps are stupid.

CJ18 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 So you used a -15db tone to tune your amp but were burping using a 0db test tone most likely. So yes YOU WERE CLIPPING THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR SIGNAL! That IS the cause of your sub blowing. Also your warranty on the amp is void for wiring at .5 ohm. The reason you went into protect is that you most likely did not have enough rise to get you up over 1 ohm reactive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
