byron2817 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 well i have mb quarts dwe series component.but now the mids start distorting when i played them in high volumes.i had pioneer components and they would get louder and sounds cleaner.on the 6 1/2 sounds likes there to much voices so it distorts.my radio has a 7band eq and i try setting it up but still getting distortion. Amp i have is a 4channel soundstream rubicon 404 .400watts what causes distortion? NEED TO GET LOUDER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duct_tape123 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Check your HPF and make sure your gains are set good. Nothing below about ~70Hz should go through your components unless they are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duct_tape123 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Possibly bad mids or over driving/clipped signal? Need an expert now, I'm stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackedout Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Whats the bass level on your deck? Is loudness on? Try turning loudness off if you have it and/ or bass down. There should be a switch on the amp. HPF, FULL, LPF. You want it set at HPF and your crossover set to ~125 Hertz. Make sure you do it on channel 1/2 and 3/4.

eaglescorpio1 Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 how did you set your gains? with a dmm? I always turn the reciever to 3/4 volume, all setting of your eq on "0". run a 200 hz test tone at that volume, and using the dmm, measure the ac voltage coming out of the speaker output terminals of the amp. Set it to 50 watts, (whatever voltage that is depends on the ohms also). There you go. That way the speakers are not getting a bad signal, and your amp isn't trying to do more than it was designed to do. Speakers cannot be damaged by underpowering, its clipping, dirty signal that destoys speakers. Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come.........
