hdorre Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Alright.. so in English class, we need to write a process analysis essay to count as our midterm. The essay can be about anything that we're passionate about. The essay can be either directive or explanatory. I chose directive. The essay I decided on is "How to Install an Amp." Here's what Im going to mention: Power Input- Partially completes circuit. Mention wire size & its capacity. Also mention fuse size. Bring up consequences of running too small wire and fuse, along with a fuse too large. Mention voltage. Ground- Partially completes circuit. Mention wire size & its capacity. Bring up acceptable grounding locations. Remote Turn On- Tells the amp to turn on Highpass (Subsonic) Filter- Only higher frequencies than set SSF play. Prevents damage to sub from playing too low frequencies. Mention bottoming out. Lowpass Filter- Only lower frequencies than LPF play. Prevents damage to sub from playing too high frequencies. Input/Output RCAs- carries analog signal between HU & amps Gain- matches amp input voltage with headunit output voltage. Go over RCAs briefly. Phase- delays the signal being produced by the amp Speaker Inputs- sends signal to actual speaker. Mention wire size. Bass Knob- Can only reduce gain to reduce volume. Can anybody add anything else worth mentioning?

C-Fizzy Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Maybe start off with explaining where to find a good place to mount the amp? under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

OrangeJuiced Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Gain: problems when turning it too high. Clipping or distortion. Proper mounting? A place with good air flow and something sturdy that doesn't allow the amp to slide and bump around. Ohm load. 2001 GMC Sierra Build.

kingsuv Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 maybe cover why the addition improves the sound. Also a little history of where aftermarket car audio came from Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 maybe cover why the addition improves the sound. Also a little history of where aftermarket car audio came from Thatd make a good introduction. I don't think high frequencies can damage a sub. The point of the LPF is just that you don't want your sub to play them as they aren't produced well. Also, the phase doesn't exactly delay the signal. If it did, only one specific frequency would be 180° out of phase. Have you thought about, or are you going to talk about mids and highs amps and/or mutliple amp setups? Yeah, but I believe that too high frequencies can damage a driver. What does it do then? Im talking about single amp setups. Im most likely going to talk about sub amps. Thatd be most clear probably.

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..
