Swordlordboy1234 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 No matter what you turn up all the way, it should be turned up before setting your gains properly. If you set your gains properly with your subwoofer level at 0. And then turn it to +6... Even if the signal doesn't clip... Your most likely distorting the signal anyways now.

Pro7 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 The sub level should be all the way up ON YOUR HU, not the bass boost bs but the sub level because that's the only way you will get full rca voltage. But after that set your AMP gains with a dd-1 or o scope and you should be fine to play as loud as you'd like on the volume knob. As long as your box is made well enough. And it looks like the specs are good I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before
BigManAC Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Posted July 25, 2013 How do you know that's the right thing to do?Not turning the amp up? I know that you are supposed to set the gain on the amp to match how many volts that your HU is sending out so that there is no distortion in the music. My HU is a 2v out so I have it set to that on my gain as best I can by using small increments and math. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw
Swordlordboy1234 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 That's a good way to do it if you don't have an oscope or dd1 but for the sake of your sub and certainty try and find a dd1 to set it. Yes you are supposed to have you sub level all the way up on most headunits. But what I was saying is that if you set everything up, and then increase something (like your sub level) then that could be bad My old YouTube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/SwordLords1234?feature=mhee My old build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161872-96-accord-b2-sundown-sky-high-dc-power-re-re-build-for-heatwave/page-37 My New Build - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207041-2016-mazda-6-sql-build/ 2016 Mazda 6 Touring JL Fix 86 - OEM signal correction B2 prototype DSP 6to8 B2 Ref63 - 3 way active set 2 B2 Class H quattro's 1 B2 Zero.5R @.5 2 B2 HNv3 12 d2 B2 SLIP40 - Lithium in the trunk Northstar Group 35 under the hood 100ft 2/0 welding cable 30ft 4ga welding cable 20ft 8ga welding cable All stinger OFC speaker wire Soundrive custom RCA's Tons of attention to detail....

SnowDrifter Posted July 25, 2013 Report Posted July 25, 2013 Leave your sub level on 0 and set the gain with a DMM IMO. That's your best bet without any other toolsMy head unit will clip if I turn the sub level all the way up.

BigManAC Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Posted July 25, 2013 Right now my sub and other settings are at 0 except for my highs. I'll look around for a dd1 or an oscope. And sword yeah I see what your saying, I'm gonna leave my setting where they are. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw

On my Pioneer I can do +6dB sub level, no distortion. 2005 Subaru Outback Wagon Pioneer 9400BH Fi Q 15, SAZ1500dV3 The first build>>> http://www.stevemead...-outback-build/ 140.9 @ 36hz Sealed on dash!
