Kyblack76 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I just dont use decaf. But I set with th -5. I dont think my woofers would last long on -10 Yeah... you play with fire at times. Ive ran my set up -10 and play decaf for multiple songs straight, at a low voltage at that. (low for me) (i have backed it down to the -7.5 track Chris made, and watch my gear) Like you, gear choice, getting what you pay for, (and your knowledge of your gear), really show up at times.

Smoove Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 It might also be useful spot set gains according to your max distortion point on the headunit at those higher levels to satisfy your 80's music... Then leave those gain settings (a LC1 might be helpful here) Then put on the -5db track and with those same gain settings, roll up the volume till you see distortion. Now you have two different max volumes for your two different genre of music that are recorded at different db levels. Snows answers are way better then mine but I believe mine might be useful sir. I can do 2 settings. easy enough to do. I will have 3 LC-1's, high's, midbass, and subs. Im also about 1500 watts over what I should be giving each woofer. I will be powering under the rms rating of my subs. 1 Quote 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well I mean you got n8 Kylar snd snow drifter in this thread. They are all way smarter then me but I don't see why my suggestion wouldn't work logically. And if you have LC1's connected you can easily use the dd1 to find where (-5) would be on your lc1 while turning it up... Make a little mark on it and don't turn it up past that point when your playing decaf. And so on and so forth. Hope that helps. 1 Quote 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....
