ben29555 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 dc led on amp driven by a/c but only would light up when you hard clip it. why would it only light on hard clipping? Quote My Build Log loud bass songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben29555 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) think i found somthing thats sorta like im looking for here its called a vu meter i would assume when the red led lights up its clipping (correct?) kinda more then i wanna spend though im gunna look around more Edited October 20, 2009 by ben29555 Quote My Build Log loud bass songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben29555 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VU_meternot sure if this can tell clipping or not but i know they are pretty cool thing to star at lol my friend had some on his old house radio one for each channel that came built into his set up, really really old setup from like the 80's but speakers are still working and everything still working till this day and still hits damn good for a pair of old ass 18's hope you find your answer for sure tho cuz you got me wondering myself now lol i hope i can find one cheap and ill get it and see if it would show clipping because i know what volume my amp clips when playing the test tone. if anyone else is looking please post if you find one for cheap Quote My Build Log loud bass songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Someone find me an LED that'll take 15v let alone the 30+v you'll see on the outputs of an amplifier... Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArcane Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 don't need led to handle that much if you know how to wire them, this i know from making led marker lights and tail lights Solution 0: 1 x 1 array uses 1 LEDs exactly +40V R = 820 ohms The wizard says: In solution 0: •each 820 ohm resistor dissipates 2050 mW •the wizard thinks the power dissipated in your resistors is a concern •together, all resistors dissipate 2050 mW •together, the diodes dissipate 75 mW •total power dissipated by the array is 2125 mW •the array draws current of 50 mA from the source.

LordArcane Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 if i knew how they wire this up and what all goes into it i might be able to figure it out with some time but i'm not for sure how to tell if signal is clipping just by voltage, and for wave format i have no clue how the LED's would pick that up so i couldn't even begin to try and figure it out, in time maybe but just getting into this LED thing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUBIE Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 AQ amps have indicators in the bass knobs when the amp is clipping. i would just get a new amp that has it build in already. or who knows next thing you know you will try doing a "Home made indicator" and you fuck up the amp. dont risk the chances. just an FYI!
