fordpride Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Posted November 18, 2015 Just thought of this. My HU is a pioneer mvhx-381bt it a non cd HU so my test tones and music are coming from my iPad(via usb)with iPad volume all the way up. I never checked to see where my iPad clips. Could this be giving me the issue ?
SLYentist Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 that's under 130% of rated power, you'll be fine as long as you don't clip ittoo hard. Cables and wires almost never fail; the terminations do.
fordpride Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Posted November 18, 2015 Another thing I just realized is I'm a dumbass. Amps were gained with a alpine cde-143bt two weeks ago. That unit went out and replaced with the pioneer. I'm a FUCKTARD. That's what I get for overthinking shit. Back the the drawing board
mcfalcon Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 Ahhh yes. Need to reset your gains. Still learning but have started gathering.
fordpride Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Posted November 18, 2015 One more question My HU has a 5 band eq and some preset ones. Should I set the 5 band to flat or can I use the preset flat or does it make a difference?
Wehan Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 I would set to flat rather than the preset but I'm paranoid.
_paralyzed_ Posted November 18, 2015 Report Posted November 18, 2015 Flat is flat. Set it flat. It doesn't matter how you get there.
fordpride Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Posted November 18, 2015 Gain is proper now and it's been full tilt with volume at 51 for 25 mins. No smell and no blown subs yet. Yall were right and I was a dumbass. Thanks a lot
