Noob_On_Droid Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 thats about the 4th one ive seen like that btw and all for the same reason yours probably did it. whats the reason? clipping? I'm still puzzled by it and if i can learn anything from it to apply to future installs i would like to know. This whole situation is pointless if i don't learn anything! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI James Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 at any power level the signal can be clipped. turning your deck up to high on most decks sends a clipped signal. I just got home from child court but if anyone hasnt went more in depth by the time im back then i'll break it down a little more. im off to SS&S though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyMcD Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 just wondering how do you clip an under powered sub? also i have seen many people say on here that under powering a sub isn't harmful? but over powering it is, im lost now. It's not driving it with low power that is the problem, hell if it was you could never turn a system down (not that many of you do). But with a small driving force, you think it's not loud enough. Up goes the volume, vmax is reached on the amplifiers but it's still not loud enough, so you push it a little harder. vmax is breached, waveform clips and you get wonderful wierd square wave goodness that you loudspeakers don't like. Having a small amplifier often leads to pushing it way too hard and trying to get output that just isn't possible. It really doesn't take much to drive amplifiers over the limit if their continous measured output is less of that for the correpsonding driver.

Noob_On_Droid Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 The reason that bothers me is because the amp settings and average volume on the deck haven't changed in 8 months and four different woofers!!!! Why would the biggest and baddest of the subs go so quickly when others held up fine??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 because your volume settings CANT be the same for 4 woofers, every woofer is different so settings are different on different subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
