Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 They know their music and turn the volume down. It's pretty much unavoidable the days, the art of a quality recording has gone down the toilet. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

It's pretty much unavoidable the days, the art of a quality recording has gone down the toilet. So would you suggest just resetting my gains at a lower test tone? like a -10 or -15 db tone? Especially since most of my music is clipped anyways 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I would suggest turning the volume knob back to the left.

Or did you set going through the amp? (bet i know the answer there) That said, if your playing over or under tune, you can build heat,.. some songs vs others can do it, rolling a window down or up can do wierd shit, maybe that coil in that driver is a turd.... i dont know. But there is a LOT going on. Fact is, you need to know your gear/build.

But there is a LOT going on. Fact is, you need to know your gear/build. I used the -5 tone. My deck distorts at +11 subwoofer volume regardless of volume, +9 subwoofer volume with 28 volume. deck is a kdc x497 (4 volt pre outs). I set the deck at 0 db, the amp at -5db. Subsonic is set at 28 (fixed on the t 1500). I don't know what other info I would use to determine why it clips 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You FIND clean deck level, set amp to that.... you cant "set" both.
