What Volume Headunits Clip At


Recommended Posts

I found a topic on facebook from sound connection inc about decks he tested and here are his results for those who have these decks and were wondering.

ll Kenwood Excelon video head units

Volume 35, all the way up at 1k hertz they have 4.3 volts of pure unclipped output on the front and rear channels.

Volume 35, all the way up at 40 hertz with the sub volume on +2 they have 5.61 volts of pure unclipped output.

These decks are amazing!

Full volume and absolutely no distortion. Please keep in mind these numbers are only RCA outputs and dose not mean your amplifier will be able to handle this much output before it distorts.

Excelon single din head units

3.75 volts at volume 35 1K Front and Rear unclipped

4.01 volts at volume 35 40hz Sub volume +1 unclipped

All filters, eq's, dsp, ect were shut off for testing.

Kenwood regular line single din head units

2.12 volts volume 32 1k front and rear ch unclipped

2.27 volts volume 32 40hz sub vol +1 unclipped

what one would a kenwood xxv-01d fall under it is a single din

I'm new to this stuff, but wouldn't it be better to set gains with the eq settings where you like them instead of flat. Goes for measuring clipping point as well. I know I don't like the sound of mine with everything turned off and flat. Just wondering if it would be better for me to set gains and measure clipping with the eq and settings how I like them. Is that ok to do. Or is that completely wrong? Does everyone have there eq set to flat, loundness off all the time, all settings off? I don't like to listen to music with everything flat. Any response appreciated, trying to learn. I have a pioneer 7200hd by the way.

Since everyone sets their EQ/Bass/Treble differently, it's best just to state it with everything flat, all processing off. If you are setting your own gains with a DD1/oscope I'd definitely set it the way you listen to it.
