Krazykid122 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) So i tuned my system with the DD1 and CC1, and my amplifiers bass knob clip led still lights up a good bit saying im clipping whenever i turn the system up to normal listening volume (36/40) and turn the bass knob halfway up or more , if any less it just doesn't really beat that hard. I know the led on the knob is not very accurate, but when tuning with the DD1, the distortion led would light up before the bass knobs clipping led, so i know if the bass knob is lit then it has to be distorting, or im assuming at least. I was told that since my music source is from my iPhone Via USB and the test tracks were on CD that could be it, so i loaded all the tracks to my phone and tuned everything with the audio source being my phone through USB, no difference. I cant figure out why im still clipping and making the woofer smelly with proper electrical and tuning with the DD1, its like there is no distortion while tuning but as soon as i hook the woofer up and play it does, Ive got to be doing something wrong. If i left out any info needed ill add whatever is needed, thank you!

CstrokerV Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 his electrical isn't up to par with running at .5 ohms in my opinion ...... what was your setting at where was the knob at when setting with the dd-1 Quote my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
