purplesyrup Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well I finally got my new system installed last night, and all last night it sounded fine, got the hu up to 27-28 out of 40 and gain remote about 3/4 the way up without any clipping, sounded pretty loud and clean. Didn't change anyfar thing at all and today after school I went to demo for some friends, and got it to only 20 or so and the clipping light started going off on each hit. I turned it down immediately and everything, went and just had the gain a little less than half and tried it again, same thing happened. Irritating as hell. I don't have access to a dd-1, but will be taking it up to a shop soon to get it looked at/tuned. Any idea of what this is? If it helps, the hu is in my signature, and I had the sub level at 0, bass boost off, etc. Subs are wired to 1 ohm, and electrical is a yellow top up front, big 3 in 0g, 2 runs of 0g to the back, xs d1200 in the back. Fused after the front battery and before the second. Also fused the run between the rear battery and amp. Any help is appreciated guys. EDIT: I had a dur dur dur moment. I have a crescendo, and My first guess would be that your tuning, the LP is either too low, or too high, the amp may be trying to play too many hz potentially out of your woofer and enclosures tuning area. Once I figured out that my LP was set to low, or high Now on the other hand, you should run a voltage test at your amplifier while its playing full tilt and clipping (just for a moment), you could still be getting some voltage drop which would also cause it to clip out early.

purplesyrup Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Alright thanks guys, Ill check those out and be sure to let the guy check it out on sunday. But NEW PROBLEM. Just riding around today, out of no where, this high pitched dog whistle type noise comes over all of my speakers. When I turn the HU off, it goes away, but when I turn it on, no matter the input, it goes bananas. Any idea as to what that may be? I'm getting frustrated that after all that work and money, and it working for a few days everything goes downhill. In the past when i experienced this problem it was alway due to a shitty ground, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I figured out that my LP was set to low, and my HP was set to high, it made it much harder to clip.

How can his hp be too high? He has a mono amp theirs no hp filter Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
