Heating up voice coils in xl's

Use the 0db track and save yourself, time, money, and effort.

[Kyblack76]

Who uses the 0db tone on their subs????

[ToNasty]

well you could either do that or get more electrical so you dont have so much drop which could be part of your problem. im just saying tuning with the 0bd track is free

[Kyblack76]

id use the -5 or -7.5 not the -10 if your not comfy about it.

0db i bet there is NO power...

are you using any type of boosting?

[ToNasty]

maybe i havent looked at my dd1 in awhile. if i remember right its track 3, 5, and 7. i used track 3

i always thought 3 was 0db because it was the lowest one

[ChevyBoy95]

I do not want to use the 0 db track because I am not gonna get any power out of it using that track. track 5 was recommended my Steve Meade for most systems.

If you get no volume on 0db, your amps aren't powerful enough. You got great subs and less than average amplifiers. -10 will most likely cause your amps to clip due to most songs having bass over -10db. (All decaf)

I personally would use -5db though

[Kyblack76]

Also, did you tune it with the key on, but vehicle off?

Turn the car to on, but not started. Let your battery go to rest, and tune it then......

If you tuned it with the alt pulling, youd be "high".

[BallzFast]

after tuning amps did you change and settings on the headunit or go past the max unclipped volume on the headunit?

[YukonDCXL]

I never go past unclipped volume on headunit. I did tune with car off. I probably just need to upgrade amps...
