I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Jessica Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 His advice was bad. meh, where is your overlap? how do you know if you are playing a track that is higher than your overlap? how do you know if you are clipping on music? Im not saying dont use the dd-1 on your amp, im saying 90% of dd-1 threads people have set the subs at -15db because they arent loud.

Not you, the customer service guy that said set it at half gain and use your nose and ear.

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 The dd1 is great because it allows you to set a reference. But that's all it is. As soon as you play a song all bets are off. Different songs are recorded at different levels and different sources can be at a different level too. Don't get me wrong, I love my dd1 but it's only half the story. In the end it's up to the person who controls the volume knob to know if something sounds off. If you like to play loud then your nose better know what it smells like when the subs need help. So in the end you still have to play it by ear to keep from tearing shit up. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I agree that people are just going to set it at - 15 no matter what overlap their song is. People will stop do things wrong even if led to water.

Krakin Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 You can also easily run your song through free software to find the overlap.

Triticum Agricolam Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 You can also easily run your dog through free software to find the overlap. I'm pretty OCD about applying ReplayGain to all my music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain Its sets everything at -14 db average level. There can still be peaks up to 0db, but everything is very consistent and super short peaks in output (even if clipping) are not what kill subs.
