Hugh G. Rection Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 im not loud though imo, if i had to guess something like a 37-39 somewhere in the 30-40hz region maybe you should splice the speaker outputs of the head unit into the rca plugs into your amp, thats a discovery i made that will get you louder.

Jessica Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Oh, i see, your'e one of those guys like we have at work, there are like 4 other people at work with systems, none have access to a dd-1 or o-scope, all have way more expensive subs and amps (but stock doors off the h/u) than me and everyone thinks their stuff is so bangin' . Pisses my off that i spend so much time tuning my e.q, xovers and made sure to set my gains proper with a dd-1. Double and triple checking my electrical connections and always looking to squeeze out those extra one or two db's while staying clean. Frustrates me so frakin much.

KillaCam Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 ill try it like that just to make you happy, but that way will drown out my mids and highs for sure (its the first way i tested it when i got the head unit), which is the only reason i went this way. am i not achieving the same thing doing it my way? (serious question) S/W level +5 H/U vol 32/35 amp gain at 65% bass boost OFF gain knob pointing at the L. No, not at all. You get the most output with the sub level all the way up (controls the pre out voltage) Then set the gain to match that voltage. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

Nate Futuristic Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Sorry.. Was busy face palming myself. Even my wife says you're an idiot. I know for a fact you dont own a dd1. So quit fakin da funk. Only reason you are getting away with it is because you have the sub level at5 on your deck. Try this. Deck at 31 Sub level on deck at max 15 Bass knob at max Amp gain at 1/4 turn. Bass boost off. Now, tell me your way was any louder or any more control. Dont even know why im still in this thread. We all do it 1 way.. Cause its the correct way. ill try it like that just to make you happy, but that way will drown out my mids and highs for sure (its the first way i tested it when i got the head unit), which is the only reason i went this way. am i not achieving the same thing doing it my way? (serious question) S/W level +5 H/U vol 32/35 amp gain at 65% bass boost OFF gain knob pointing at the L. isnt your amp gain at 100% LOL no, i just discovered it, i didnt set it there. its 8pm so i cant "tune" my amp in my driveway. so ill have to re"tune" it tomorrow trying rays version first but you said you had the amp gain maxed and bass knob at 3/4 of the way up earlier!?! and it was WAY louder than before? now your saying you havent done it yet? please tell me you didnt ask if this was ok to do on YAHOO or something.... down rpping vanderbilt. 30 miles from victoria. i own the 3rd loudest setup here out of 3. but i did put together all 3 setups ^^ Cant wait to swalllow Ghost's babies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
