Silver Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 196 Registered: Jan-06 | when it matches the voltage of your pre-outs wich is when it sounds best, or should but do whatever soudns good i wouldnt go over 3/4 or it will start clipping |

Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 40 Registered: Mar-06 | how bad is clipping your subs? ive had my gain all the way up for about three months now and my M3's are perfectly fine???im putting like 700rms to each there only rated for 600 i think, maybe 500 |

Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 934 Registered: Jan-06 | Troy you would know if you were clipping your subs. What Amp do you have? |

Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 41 Registered: Mar-06 | i have a massive 1500d, its blown now, but yeah, i tested em playing, what you know TI, at listening volume, and it was 1450@1.5ohms to the pair so im def not gonna say anyhting bad about the amp, but my gain has been all the way up, in my trunk my subs are completely distorted, but up front they sound great |

Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 937 Registered: Jan-06 | The words 'great' and 'distorted' should not be used in the same sentence to describe a good setup.. I am guessing you have a 1500D Brutus amp witch is only 2 ohm stable so that 1.5ohm + Cranked gain will= Blown amp Just out of curiosity what does it sound like outside your car I'm guessing a rattlebox.lol |

Bronze Member Username: StnorrisPost Number: 22 Registered: Apr-06 | Haha. Rave'n, why are you trying to act like a badas*s. Your trying to act like troy is an idiot. You dont even know how to set your preouts to amp. Haha. Try looking up your HU and see what volts it puts out. |

Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 47 Registered: Mar-06 | first of all di.ck i have a MASSIVE amp, thats why i said that... second, my car sounds terrible from out side, and i know that, im raising money to buy dynamat, but my amp blew so there goes that. any way the MASSIVE amp is 1 ohm stable, i think it was just defective. i just want to know if my subs are gonna go next.. and it does sound great in the car, open the trunk, you have straight cr.ap |
|
Bronze Member Username: StnorrisPost Number: 24 Registered: Apr-06 | I dont understand how you could open the trunk and it sounds like straight sh.it. That doesnt make any sense. maybe your subs are already starting to go. either that or they cant handle the rms your putting into them. You said you were giving each sub 700 rms, but you said your subs might only be 500....im not quite sure whats wrong with your system. |

Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 940 Registered: Jan-06 | Steve I am not trying to act hard my preouts are 6.5 I knew that I was trying to ask a question because my amps instructions were pointless and there are only (+) and (-) on the gain setting I wasnt calling troy a idiot YOU IDIOT !I was offering my opinion .I coud only imagine what your crappy system sounds like. |

Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 49 Registered: Mar-06 | nope, i checked the subs there only 300rms?? 600 max why havent they blown? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 52 Registered: Mar-06 | hey retard.... my amp is a MASSIVE, as in the brand MASSIVE, about those subs... how can they not be blown... im 100% sure i was getting 1450rms |
|
Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 942 Registered: Jan-06 | what subs are you talking about? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 57 Registered: Mar-06 | the M3's they are rated at 300rms/600max im putting 725rms to them... they should be blown right? bout two weeks of loud volume |
|
Bronze Member Username: StnorrisPost Number: 25 Registered: Apr-06 | what the hell do you have to be talking sh.it rave'n? |
|
Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 950 Registered: Jan-06 | Steve why dont you take a minute to reread this thread and tell me who started talking shiz first kid. |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6823 Registered: Jul-05 | Ok, from what i have gathered from reading this thread, i have concluded, Troy ur amp does not put out 1400rms(overrated trash, no offence), and since it sounded distored from distance that lets me no that u where clipping ur subs, ur amp just sux.... Either set ur amp to the pre-outs on ur HU, or turn the gain all the way down, turn the volume to 3/4, and slowly turn the gain until it sounds about right, after that walk away from ur car and see if it still sounds distorted, (I BET IT WONT) |

Bronze Member Username: JohnfiacIl USA Post Number: 55 Registered: Mar-06 | Hahaha you people crack me up... Can i get in the $hit talking to? That is a good question up there, How the hell did the subs not blow they were both getting about 150watts more then recommened max right? Do you smell a funny smell when the speakers hit, maybe they blew but not to bad i had a pair of Poweracoustik FUBR 12's that blew on me and they sounded just as good after wards except they wouldnt sound as clean once i would higher them much more... but also left that smell of a blown speaker in my trunk for a few months.... |

Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 952 Registered: Jan-06 | Thank you Chauncy thats all I wanted to know |
|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 60 Registered: Mar-06 | ok.... the subs only sound distorted if your head was basically in the trunk.... the amp, i tested at 1450 watts avg at my listening volume. there is no smell only distortion |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 6844 Registered: Jul-05 | how did u test ur amp, what methods did u use??? |

Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 66 Registered: Mar-06 | dmm AC volts then put it in the 12 volt conversion thing with 1.5 ohms. i used an ohm meter to check the ohms |

|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 71 Registered: Mar-06 | ok?? |
|
Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 690 Registered: Aug-05 | for sum reason i cant post whut i wanted to say....to many questionable words....?????anyway u shouldnt have ur gains turned all the way up...ill explain later cant right now...LMAO |
|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 73 Registered: Mar-06 | oh i know i shouldnt, i jus was wondering how my subs arent blown, am i just lucky and i should stop or what |
|
Silver Member Username: Killerzracing71Fredericksburg, Virginia United states Post Number: 692 Registered: Aug-05 | yes stop NOW.....it might sound loud as H3LL in the inside of the car but it will eventually blow...and u will be very upset..very very upset....ur not lucky...its just that subs can take clipping for a little while....the chain of failure for speakers goes like this.....tweeters..speakers......subs |
|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 80 Registered: Mar-06 | ok... theve been lke this for about three months... is that normal? |
|
Bronze Member Username: JohnfiacIl USA Post Number: 59 Registered: Mar-06 | Sounds like my system before i got the drycells... Tweeters scream at you until the bass comes in...Then the tweeters are sounding half as loud as they just were... what is the voltage level that is rated as being clipped? Less than 12.5V? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Troy81Tavernier, Fl Us Post Number: 82 Registered: Mar-06 | uhhh. im misunderstanding your question |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1061 Registered: Jan-06 | I watched the demo but the only thing I don't get is i always thought an amplifier doesn't produce power unless it has a load and by disconnecting the sub there wouldn't be power unless the DMM is producing its own internal resistance? If this is the case how are you supposed to control this to get the desired voltage reading unless you use a "dummy load" ? Polo.. |
