Noel989 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Audacity doesn't let you use AAC? Weird Since you are already using iTunes, you can convert them their Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triticum Agricolam Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Elaborate shade tree. I was taught that the clipped wave causes the motor to jump past its limits. I'm always up for education. Why is it just bass mekanik songs that cause this? Clipping isn't all or nothing, it can range from just the slightest amount of clipping where the top of the sine wave is just beginning to flatten out all the way up to a full square wave which is as bad as it gets. Very slight clipping won't do much of anything, full square wave is bad news for your subs. I can see where it may possible, in theory, for a full square wave to cause more excursion from your subs than a full strength non-clipping signal, but I'm pretty skeptical about it actually happening. I think its much more likely you will let the magic smoke out of your coil first. If the songs don't have clipped content, and your gains are set properly so signal being sent to your amp isn't above the threshold at which it will clip, clipping shouldn't be an issue. Its possible there is something else going on with your system. I know for a fact Alpine's port area recommendations for their subs are HORRIBLY undersized.

bassl0va Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Speakers excursion tracks voltage pretty well, if they didn't they wouldn't work. Obviously resonances can cause more or less excursion, but a set amount of voltage causes a set amount of movement. If this wasn't the case then at the slightest bit of voltage the cone would launch itself. Clipping increases power but the max voltage is the same. A sub can't reproduce a clipped wave exactly since the sharp cutoffs are harmonics that'll be harmonics outside its capabilities (if clipping components or the track is clipped, these harmonics go to the tweeter, greatly increasing the power its getting, potentially blowing it). But its excursion should be pretty similar to a non clipped signal I'm guessing you either got lucky with your gains, or they were clipping a little to begin with and since these bass tracks have very exaggerated bass its making it clip enough to become audible My RE MT 18" wall build Former build, farewell beloved wall.In progress, Toyota Starlet build This forum has a massive boner for ridiculous electrical upgrades.

Mike4068 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Did you read my original post? I set everything with the dd1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassl0va Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 You said you set your gains based on excursion. If you set your gains properly with a DD1 you wouldn't be having any issues My RE MT 18" wall build Former build, farewell beloved wall.In progress, Toyota Starlet build This forum has a massive boner for ridiculous electrical upgrades.

Mike4068 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 No I said that I set everything with the dd1. Excursion only exceeds the mechanical limits on bass mekanik tracks. I was as forthright as I could be about what was done. Why are you trying to make it something else? Just wanted some wisdom. Fuck me I guess.

Triticum Agricolam Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 You said your box is build to Alpine specs, what specs exactly was your box built to? Alpine specifies a range of box sizes that will work. My suggestion would be to play around with a sine wave generator (you can get an app for your phone) and try to determine what frequency you experience the problem.
