Decaf Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 true facts you can buy a rap cd with bass louder than -10db (0 being loudest) and you could download a horrible copy of a song from youtube converters and end up with -25dB bass... so your gain setting is dependent on how loud the bass is in the majority of the music you play, using either bass knob, sub level, or volume to custom tailor each song because its a car audio system is not a ron popiel rotisserie kitchen where you set it and forget it -5dB if you listen to bass cds(bass mechanik, dj billy) -10db if you do not listen to loud rap/bass music -15db wouldn't even use if you listen to rap/rock/dub/similar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundstream15 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I understand that. But loud bass as in boosted songs? Or decaf loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ill save you the headache..... -0db for both 1k and 40hz for the head unit..... And then go -5db for both 1k and 40hz.... Then you never have to ever worry. Full tilt... No prob! Full tilt 30 mins? No prob! Just make sure you have clean music. I'd check out decaf stuff. Hint google search ram designs. . I play 80% of decaf and I'm set with all -5db and sounds great.... Sure on normal rap CD's it's not quite as loud cause they record on higher -db signals... Like I herd someone say the original "White Girl" by young Jerzy off his cd that was purchased in the store was either -9 or -7db.... Therefor gains set for a max of -5db would still be pretty close and you don't have to worry about smoking your subs as much.... And on that note.... Gives you more of an excuse to listen to more decaf !!
