MrSkippyJ Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I am not forcing anyone to set gain in any particular way, if they want to follow the method I spoke of or not, that's fine. If they opt to use a Scope or DD1, that's cool. If they want to play bass heavy music and set their gains with such, it's their choice. I can go outside an see what my volume level my stereo distorts at to see if my ears hear different. I know what I heard it distort at when I installed it and I doubt it has changed. Hell, I don't even listen to it at the level it distorts at, it's too loud for me on a regular basis. Again, this forum seems full of nothing but people into the competition scene and are so very concerned about getting every spec of power they can in hopes of gaining .01dB. And it seems most on here must drive around with their systems cranked to the maximum undistorted output all the time as well. partially you are right, most of us do listen to our systems full volume. however i don't think most of us compete. But you are sending mixed messages here. Setting by ear is fine if you never intend on listening at full volumes. Most of us have far too much money invested in our equipment to hope that our ears heard things right when we use our systems to the max. A great majority of us over power our subs and rely on a clean signal to keep our subs safe.

I can set my gains properly with 50k watts and you know what, i have a VOLUME KNOB. you are using gain as volume, i use volume as volume. as for overpowering a speaker you can of course turn gain lower or use an external fader knob to compensate for that.

Weigel21 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 The DD-1 is set to display when it sense 1% THD, this is often audible to a persons ear. The use of a test tone which will play a single constant tone can make hearing the change in the tone fairly easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
