Totalnoob Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Hey guys i was doing some research on a soundqubed amp i am going to buy and i came across these instructions on their website to set the gains. 1. Set LPF to 100-125 2. Set Subsonic to 30-35 3. Set master/slave switch to Master 4. Set the gain on the amp to min(all the way to the left) 5. Install the remote gain and turn 1/2 way up (the midpoint on the dial) 6. All EQ settings and bass controls on the HU to O (Alpine HU's subwoofer up on some models needs to be turned up) 7. Turn HU volume to 3/4 and insert CD (perferbably a recorded CD and not an mp3 At this time you will have no output because the gain on the amp is turned down) 8. Slowly turn the gain on the amp until the clipping indicator on the remote starts to flicker as the frequencies in the music change. Do not allow the the clipping indicator to glow solid or flicker continuously on constant music or stay red on transients. This will lead to a burning coil. My question pertains to the filters. On many websites i read that your LPF should be maxed and your Subsonic should be set to the lowest. Should just use their instructions since they know their amps best or should i use the classic way i learned?
TRON Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Those instructions are full of problems. You need a tool to set gains, not a fucking bass knob. Avalanche Alpine Type S comps Alpine Type S 10'' Alpine MPR-F300 Alpine MRX-M50 Mechamn 270 XS Power d3400s
Tecomah Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Those instructions are full of problems. You need a tool to set gains, not a fucking bass knob. this is a hundred percent true. 750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.^ DON'T BE A DICK LIKE THIS GUY Team Subsonic Lows
MaxVolume Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 subsonic is the lower limit of what the sub will play, hpf (high pass filter) is the upper limit of what the sub will play too low on the subsonic can be bad if it let's you play too far below tuning, dangerous for the sub, while too high on the hpf will have sub playing higher frequencies that it's not very good at... not dangerous just wasteful
Totalnoob Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 Well I read on a few threads that the clipping indicator on the bass knob was tested (soundqubeds knob) and turned out accurate with an o scope as well as the dd1, so i don't really see a problem setting the gains with it. Tell me more please.

Noel989 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 3/4? What if your hu clip at 20 out of 30? What if you tune your box to 30hz? What if your crossover is at 60-80?

Totalnoob Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Posted October 16, 2014 im not sure if you just put the filter settings on around those numbers and then fine tune adjust it after you set the filter settings to your box needs.
