HopenCagen Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 i didnt clip anything i ran too much power too it lol hifonics brututs 1100.1d
CleanSierra Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 You said the gain was "probably" set too high. Do you know what clipping is? Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
jarrius Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 How do you know you where not distorting or clipping? As clean said how did you set your gain? As for sub look in to soundqubed Fi sundown and c2 audio 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
HopenCagen Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 by ear, i didnt hear any distortion or it breaking off or anything it was clean
CleanSierra Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 You can't hear clipping with your ears.... Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
HopenCagen Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 You can't hear clipping with your ears.... didnt say i did/didnt hear it clipping. who gives a shit i blew a sub not a big deal
jarrius Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 it is a big deal man. If you had your shit set wrong on your amp your only going to keep blowing gear and spending more money. We are not trying to sound like dicks we are trying to help you learn and to keep you from spending money because of blowing subs or amps. Say you spend 200 on a new sub. it blows because you never set the amp up correctly or never tested to see where your deck was distorting at. well your out 200 for a sub now unless you recone it then you are still spending more money then you needed. If you set it up correctly you should never blow a sub unless you get carless with your system and play at low voltage or knowing lee turn shit up just to make it "Louder" 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
CleanSierra Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 You can't hear clipping with your ears....didnt say i did/didnt hear it clipping. who gives a shit i blew a sub not a big dealI can assure you that I, for one, don't give a shit about what you do with your equipment. The fact is, you don't know if your setup had distortion OR clipping since I doubt it was setup with proper methods. The only two proper methods are with an oscilloscope, or a DD-1. Your ears are not a good or proper method in any way. To give suggestions on "what to get next" would be foolish on our part because it's a waste of time if you're going to send a dirty signal to the next sub. You may have sent a dirty signal to this sub, you may not have. You openly admitted to having the gain up "a little more than it should have been" and going full tilt on it all day. You also said that it was just an accident, it seems like you knew you were going to fry it, making it no accident all. I guess if you spend $200 on a quality sub, maybe you will take more care in giving it a better life. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
