ShadeTreeMechanic Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 If you want to be louder, you could add another set of tweets and mids.I'm lost I never said I was trying to get louder! Just trying to maximize what I have. You are killing your tweeters because its not loud enough. Otherwise just turn the volume down a little.

Just trying to maximize what I have. You are killing your tweeters because its not loud enough. Otherwise just turn the volume down a little.honestly don't understand your logic here. Everything is set flat no eq boost at all head until clip free at 40 out of 40 volume, I set made 39 my max, gain set with Sq track on the dd1. Steve himself has said once set you can go to your max volume trouble free. I would agree with you if I set using-10db it's to much. Amp is rated 120 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms so power should be a good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 it could be the music too. You are running them at their max RMS rating pretty much, so any badly recorded music could be doing this.

MrSkippyJ Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 that's the output side, your problem happens before that.

tbeats Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 that's the output side, your problem happens before that. but output is changed due to driver impedance and that is getting more or less power from the selection on the crossover.

Amp is rated 120 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms so power should be a good match. I understand that you are trying to maximize what you have. You have found the maximum. The dd1 is just setting up a base line or the reference to adjust the gain cleanly on a test track playing a constant tone at a specific frequency. This is not music. Music is a ton of different frequencies all up and down all at the same time. It is possible to have musical transients that have higher output than the rest of the musical average. It is also possible to have songs recorded at different levels causing more or less output from the amp. There are so many variables that cannot be accounted for when setting up with the dd1. If -5db is too much then use 0db. Or just turn the volume down a little when it does this. It is up to the operator of the volume control to know what they are doing to keep their gear safe.

tbeats Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Maybe you are just overpowering them most likely, I went with -2.5db on the amp gain via dd1 so far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
