What volume does my Kenwood HU clip at?


Recommended Posts

I have a Kenwood excelon KDC-X496 and I just recently installed a 12" Kicker L7 with a Kicker zx750.1. I was trying to set my gains with my dd-1 and I tried to do it without finding the max volume on the head unit, but I think I am getting robbed of some power. If I have to take the head unit out and measure it then I will, but I am trying to do it without having to pull the dash and take the head unit out. Does anybody know where the maximum unclipped volume of this deck is? Thanks.

I have a DD-1 and you can find out where you clip at from your head unit through the amps. Just have to follow the instructions. I don't have them on me or I would tell you. But with that being said no one will really be able to tell you where you start to clip at from your radio. Every vehicle is different and what you have for electrical can factor in also. You may be able to get close but only you will know.

if it goes to 35, it either clips at 34 or 35, sometimes they dont clip at all.

Does this stand true even if sub level is at +15?

yes. +15 is how you get the full preout voltage on the sub preout.

so if your gains set correctly you could do sub level +15 without clipping?

I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.

Also OP. I mentioned the +15 sub level thing at least twice in your last thread. Would you like me to find it so you can re read?
