best way to burp?

[dwright27]

i would tune higher if you wanna compete

or swappable ports

[corteznewbie]

its designed to be tunable

Boilermaker what do you mean No...???? Rolling is better for you equpiment period FYI subs don't like to go from dead stop to full excursion in a split second also easyer on the electrical I allways roll it up and posted my biggest numbers doing so

although i do like pause/play just for the simplicity.

[dB Don]

The old dB Drag style without the cycle sample it was always a straight burp BUT, the new sensors its always best to unpause at a lower level and then to a semi quick roll to your set volume for the best score. This is where people get confused. So if its on any sensor of any kind roll into it and also this is safer for your system it gives your amp/subs to create and adjust the proper rise rather than full signal power at the lower start load on the amp/s.

Rolling is better for your gear, generally.

It allows impedance rise to build first which keeps your amps safe and it also allows the wave to align in the car and for pressure to build on either side of the cone so that the first couple of strokes don't slam the coil into the bottom plate or anything dumb like that.

The one time I would say pause-burping can be beneficial is in low Street class cars where you're not running enormous power or generating tremendous pressure but you're hard up against your electrical (single small battery) so a pause burp can help get the most out of your amps before voltage drops pwns you.

VERY well said, i had a Soundstream 4K @ 0.25 ohms that worked great rollin up the volume, not so well when i used pause/play burp at high volume

[Rogers]

yeah...ok so... ill roll into it and then pause it for a second and then burp it hard... i mean it cant hurt to try both...lol surely i can accomplish that in 30 seconds... thanks for the great info guys... i also wondered... if my score would be louder at the headrest or on the windshield... i think i have that choice in MECA S3

[Ric Thornton]

Rogers... in MECA the only class that has the sensor on the windshield is X1 and X2. all amatuer street, street, and modified use the headrest location (amatuer street driver headrest only)

Doing a pause to make it full blast in .2 seconds is TERRIBLE on equipment, and even on the vehicle to be honest. lol

This is what we do:

(The Boswell's "DDBEAST" as an example)

the volume is set on the radio at 15. we pause it at the right freq. then when the meter is on and it's a "go" we unpause it, and roll the volume steady and quickly to 30.

now... we did "burp" so to speak by doing the pause/unpause thing at full vol once... totally by mistake. we actually did a fantastic score, but ripped a hole in the car and ripped the spiders on the sub in the process. an expensive mistake that wasn't worth the .4dB in any case.

so the correct answer is to Roll it in... to avoid any problems.

You can't just say one is better then the other. That is an equipment dependent question. My Cactus Sounds amps like to be rolled. My Incriminator Audio 40.1 amps LOVED to be hard burped. My Incriminator Audio 20.1 amps loved to be rolled. My Crossfire Amps like it rolled also. The Memphis 4kWs in my van now don't care either way.

So in short, test to see what is better for your gear.
