E a r t h Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 i for one like the reduction of the knob. it ramps up or down faster then the volume knob or sub adjustment on the deck. mute or att is not feasible to me most the time because that cuts all levels, not just subs like the remote which is why i like it. not to mention my position in my seat prohibits me from reaching my deck quickly for whatever reason. love the thing for daily use, and i could live without it, but it is really nice to be able to adjust it for quick use on every song.

thehoe92 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 it was tested on justin's 3000d with an oscope it was noticeable to the ear as well. not saying they don't put out what they say just saying the knob does reduce it but jacob already explained that Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nirvalica Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I noticed on my knob that from the volume all the way down position to about 1/4 it seems to get louder gradually, then somewhere around 1/4 position the volume level jumps and somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 it seems to reach pretty much full volume. My Hifonics amp's volume knob functioned better, I wish they used the same cables. Quote My Youtube Page.

That can't be true. Even just reading this thread you all said that you set the gain with this remote knob turned all the way up. Which I did. So now tell me how I could be clipping?

skittlesRgood Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) That can't be true. Even just reading this thread you all said that you set the gain with this remote knob turned all the way up. Which I did. So now tell me how I could be clipping? I'm not even pushing my amp as hard as it can go. do you know how to set the gain? did you use a DMM or an o-scope? if you need a lesson on how to set it i can help you out. but yes, when it stops getting louder, its because your clipping. it means you set the gain on the amp too high. but, if you dont believe me, turn that remote all the way up, go full tilt on your HU and play it for 10min. i bet you'll smell something stinky.

Nirvalica Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I set the gain on my amp with the recessed knob on the side of it using a DMM. I set it lower then it can go w/o clipping. The remote knob (aka the one that has a wire and I attached under my dash) may control the gain, but considering I set my gain when it was all the way up, now it only acts as a volume knob attenuating the bass signal from the max i determined I wanted it to be and the minimum it can go. That essentially works as a volume. What I'm saying is the knob's attenuation through it's range isn't linear. Maybe we're talking about a different knob, and that might be causing the confusion. Mine is similar to this (I think a little newer though) Quote My Youtube Page.

skittlesRgood Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 yes, thats the knob im talking about. so what was the output voltage when you set your gain? was the amp under load when you set it? what tone did you use?

Nirvalica Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 50 Hz tone, something around 30-35v. No load. I followed these instructions, but I calculated how many volts 1000 watts at 1 ohm would be, and set it to below that. http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=143 Quote My Youtube Page.
