Ndnkobra Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hey guys, i was wondering about the ipod clippage after i set my gains on the amp to as much as it can get unclipped. The Ipod connects straight into the aux port in the car, and that has its own seperate volume. Will i have to worry about the amp signal getting clipped because of that ipod volume? And is there any way i can adjust that. Thanks! If numbers help, the deck will be set at 30/40, all equalizers and faders etc will be at 0, the output voltage will be enough to supply 1200 Watts of current to the subs. How do i factor the ipod volume into that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exerstine Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 i think that if the eq on your ipod is set to "off" then you shouldnt have to worry about anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndnkobra Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 So then it would be okay to turn up the ipod volume to max (not that i'd want to) without any signals getting clipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exerstine Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 i dont think it matters if the ipod volume is up all the way or not.. its just like hooking it up to any other aux speakers that have their own volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moh.vze.com Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) I had one of those old school 60GB ipod videos. I remember setting the max volume at 90% when I was tuning it with the osope. I didn't try tuning it at max volume to see if it clipped though. I just remember reading somewhere on SMD about ipod clipping at max volume. Also make sure that bassboost on ipod eq is off ><.

IH8PunkRok Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 it connects to an aux port, meaning it comes out of the 3.5 mm headphone jack into another? if that is the case you need to find where your ipod clips and do not turn it up past that point because if the ipod clips then you are sending a clipped signal which will then be amplified to a bigger clipped signal so dont just turn it all the way up and leave it. it can go pretty high tho. if you dont have a scope just visually divide the volume bar by ten and set it to 9/10.

treossi Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 i think the amp should be oscoped with ipod at max volume, to make sure no signals are clipped Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etaks_crew Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) What if it connects through an Ipod jack. Like your comp does and you can scroll the music on the CD player it self. Is this still something to worry about. It doesn't matter what my Ipod volume is at, it is controlled by the CD player. I never thought of this even being a problem. Edit: Would the EQ settings on the Ipod still come into effect and I should keep them at flat/off still.
