soundstream15 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Not good with wood working, rather have someone build it that way it's done right. I can always try tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

206xtreme Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Even if you use a 0dB a -5dB or a -10dB track, the clipping (the point that your pulse will not be a sinewave and will start being squared) will be in the exact same point! So don't worry about it. I would go with a 0dB to see where my deck clips and with a -10dB with my subs or mids wired on the amplifier to set the amp gain.

Jessica Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I do like hunter does. Set with -10, then mark around where my lc-1 is for -5 and 0. Then I try not to be stupid. 1 Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside. My super random youtube channel and terrible camera work.

Kranny Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 if you honestly had to ask, just go with -5. thats what decaf recommends, and gives you a little headroom. -10 is too much in my opinion. i dont even know why a -15db track was included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstream15 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks Kranny! -5 is what I'll do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBI Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Only use -10db if you know the limits of your system. Some songs I only need to turn the bass knob about half way before I know its full tilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corona_jeff Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I would say -5 is safe. I also agree the -15 is horrible to have on the disc, I have had several calls about people smoking there subs. The first response the give when I explain clipping is " I set my gains with the smd dd1". A bad ass product does not fix poor judgement.

soundstream15 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I totally agree with you^^ I'll do -5 that way every song I play I won't be clipping. And i assume I'll set my head unit with 0db track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
