soundstream15 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm just trying to help. But even if you can't hear distortion, doesn't mean your not clipping. Yes, setting by ear can work. Maybe you got a bad sub or it's just the fact it's a kicker..idk man:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Moore Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm guessing clipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel989 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 1. They're kickers.. 2. You need to set your gains properly. If you dont know or cant do it properly, tune it by ear.. If distortion starts theres your point just back it off... Thats the ghetto way but hey it s better than going blind! No, and NOGains need to be set with either an Oscope or DD-1 to not clip. DMM if neither is accessible Ear>dmm Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskanzx5 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 wow, guys he is asking for help. contribute to the answer or just dont post. the best possible answer is clipping, could be something else but its a good place to start. maybe the person before you beat on them hard clipping bad and did some damage to them. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

TrunkMuzik Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Bc it obviously has nothing to do with the fact that you have no clue on how the hell to set gains or even know what clipping is... Just take them out of the box, turn your gain and bass boost all the way up, and free air them on full tilt. Make sure your head unit is turned all the way up though, or it wont work.. Oh, and post vids when doing so. cause your so cool being a douche over the internet, sorry i dont know everything like you Without music, life would be an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
