Kurt439 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I have a Kicker KXA800.1 running 1Ohm with Alpine RSeries RW10D2, The amp has a built-in Distortion light on the Gain knob. My Question is.. Would it be better to tune with USB, Bluetooth, Aux? I noticed if I use Bluetooth or Aux cable I have to have my volume on phone maxed out for Spotify and Pandora. I'm just worried if this would cause Trouble in tuning.. Bluetooth or Aux causing distorted signals with Max volume on device? My HeadUnit has 4Volts Pre-Outs with the tune I have now I have about maybe a 10% turn on the knob out of 100%. I have a little bass but it don't really hit until my volume is about 27 and I distort at 30. Any info on this could really help me.

Mike4068 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I had that amp and ran a type r 15 on it. I really liked it. I found that Bluetooth distorted before the aux. I never ran USB. I always tune with the aux and use spotify for my tracks since that is my music source almost every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotify is a must have for me.. what do you tune with 50Hz -0 -5 -10? I'm not to sure on what I should be using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4068 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Do you have your sub level on the hu maxed? If not make sure you do that or you'll never see that 4v preout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4068 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Depends what music you listen to. I personally use the dd-1 and a - 7.5 40hz tone. If you only have the amp to set gain I'd use - 10 if you listen to rock or country and - 5 if you mainly listen to rap. - 10 is too much for the new recording levels of rap. You'll clip well under max volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll clip well under max volume. I listen to basically everything from hip-hop country rock a little bit of all. I have my box tuned at 39Hz 1.4cuft, My sub level is maxed at +10. What is the difference in 40Hz -7.5 and 50Hz -5 any big change?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4068 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 The dd-1 uses a 40 hz tone and - 7.5 lets me get closer to max volume without clipping than - 10. I find - 5 to not be enough when not playing at war levels. Try - 10 and see if you clip too much. If you do try - 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was using 50Hz 0db for tuning maybe I'll get better results with one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4068 Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 0 is just for finding out where your hu clips. You'll definitely notice a difference with either of these tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
