soundstream15 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 -5db track with the dd-1 and set sub level to +15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ohms has NOTHING to do with clean or dirty signal. Input voltage and gain level has everything to do with clean dirty. It's all about matching gain level from HU and amp. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Bates Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 gotcha, . . . . so on another note for a second. how can ou get you ipod to play all songs at same volume, theres a fthing that doe that right? that way you can set with say -10 db and should be fine on everything, instead of just some, yeah?

ChevyBoy95 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 i have a kenwood, same settings as you, 35 of 35, not distortion. i set my shit with -5 db, and let it ride. If you set it with the dd-1 on track 5 or -10 and shit is bottoming out, set it with -5, the wave of the song might not be clipped but may have a higher amplitude than you think which might be causing the sub to bottom out or get to much power. also, as an example, if you have a 2000 wrms amp, on a 1000rms sub and you set it with the dd-1 and it bottoms out, it is probably due to the double rms, not clipping and so on. that skar is 600rms and that amp tested by ray does around 1000-1100 iirc. That is called overpowering. Plus we dont know box specs or anything like that. I would set the EQ flat, do track 3 (-5 @ 40) and see how it is. If it bottoms out, turn it down, if it doesnt good for you. You need to see what amplitude the wave on that song is for whatever frequency. Unclipped -3db wave will still bottom your shit out if you have it set with -10db. im running at 2ohms so most i should be getting clean is about 600rms. and skar are known to be underrated as well. .. not sayin ur wrong jbut just notin the fact. yea, just test to see if the HU clips at +15, if it doesnt, just use it like that. the model i have that clips at +1 sub volume is KDC X595.

It's all about matching gain level from HU and amp. no no i know that lol. i quoted someone from earlier. who said i am overpowering my sub and that could be why. i said no because ray clamped clean at 1100 at 1 ohm. im running at 2 ohms. meaning the sub is only prob getting 600rms clean. . .the amp is rater 1500 1 ohm and 900 2 ohms so if its clean 1100 at 1 i assumed somewhere arnoudn 600ish clean at 2 ohms..... ruling out that its prob not overpowering issues......

Mario928 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I just went to check and it goes up to 10 not 15. and i use -5 on my amp to set the gains.
