gog Unregistered guest | I may be on my own here, but unless your system is super high end, changing the wires doesn't make that big of a difference, in my experience anyway |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 1935 Registered: Apr-05 | You can check this out: http://www.ibiquity.com/hdradio/hdradio_how.htm Though their site is vague on exact details (specifically numbers). To get it to work on your headunit, you'll need to get an HD receiver like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-fJhpYXp6zJA/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=186650&I=113HR10 0MC&search=hd+radio+tuner Basically, it's just a better signal put out by local radio stations to turn FM into 'CD Quality' I'm not sure how it sounds, I haven't heard it yet. I still dislike FM's bland format and the high commercial load. Woo, hear fifteen minutes of commercials in CD quality sound! |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 1940 Registered: Apr-05 | You might want to read this about damaging your speakers first: www.bcae1.com (in the menu on the right, scroll down to #29-Too Little Power and click on it). As far as how clipping sounds, it will sound extremely compressed and grungy. Incredibly, most amps are at their lowest distortion just before clipping. I couldn't find anything more than the link you provided for your amp... The KTC-HR100MC is such a new technology, not only is it unavailable on ebay, it's expensive wherever you look... |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 1945 Registered: Apr-05 | Set the sub to whatever you think sounds best. I think 80hz would sound good though. The LPF just decides where to cut off high sounds from coming through. I would also turn on the HPF to about 80hz as well, this cuts off frequencies below 80hz from passing through the speakers that are powered directly from the headunit's internal amp. In turn, since they don't have to reproduce low frequencies, they don't distort as fast when you turn up the volume. Since you're using the HPF, you shouldn't need 'bass F'. Don't worry about Q right now for any of the frequencies. Volume offset is another name for sub volume. Just set it to where the sub blends in with what is being played rather than overpowering/underpowering the bass in your music. Amp bass can be whatever you think sounds best. |
