Head Unit That Doesnt Skip
calvin posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
what is a good head unit (preferably JVC or Alpine) that will not skip because of the bass? i have a alpine cda7897 now and i cant turn my music up without the cd skipping repeatedly. really wouldnt want to spend more than 400 for a h/u. its going to a lincoln towncar and i am running a zx2500.1, zx650.4 and (2) 15" btl's -
Anybody here going to attend this event?

Ok are now I am getting confused again! The tutorial Aeon Rider posted didn't say that. Now I am being told no BB! I followed what he said and according to that I had my gains set to high. If I turn my BB off then it is barely any sound! So did I do something wrong? I then called kicker and he told me that the BB should be at the same level as the gain. If I have to turn my BB off I will sound like a circuit city 10"! What do you all think is going on? Something has to be wrong with how my gains are set. I think my amp has 6 ticks for gain and I am under the second. Also I took the equation in the tutorial and came up with 72.80 as my AC voltage. I would try to set it and it would fluctuate so much before the song went off so I don't if even now I have the gain up too much. Any thoughts?

What class will you be in? -
ok thanks. i am going to look around on the forum to get more info. appreciate it
-
oh ok thanks. will do asap. yeah i was a lil skeptical myself at first but i no longer am! i am even thinking about putting a fi sticker on my windshield and i hate putting anything extra on my car!! i probably wont but thats how happy i was when i first heard them!
-
dmm to test the ohm load? what should i be turning my gain and boost to? is there a thread on here for proper way to do that!?
-
oh ok. i read it again John...cmon man dont even try to play me like that! this is like my 5th towncar! i know all about that lol. i am a towncar/lincoln Guru! oh is your TC an Exec L? it looks like one of the longer diplomatic models

no it isnt screwed in but i actually am disconnecting it until i get everything straight. yeah i know kharps. i thought they would fit but they wouldnt. i am not planning on playing it anymore until i get my box designed. this should be happening by next week. i am still waiting on my stuff from FC. once i get that all of the equipment will be secured! i just wanted to get a feel of how they sounded so i played them for a couple of songs and took some pics. trust that the next pics you see will be a finished product!! btw what is DMM?

i am running (2) 15"D2 Btl's in 6 cub. ft. @ 32hz right now. the amp i am using is a zx2500.1. what is a safe or optimal freq. to turn the amp to? is this something that is done by listening or is there a general rule of thumb. i am just noticing that the higher notes in almost all the songs i listen to, are almost not even audible. the lower notes are def there but what would correct this "problem?"
-
man i am psyched! i will def be there for that event!! i am almost 2 years removed from competing but i almost got my chit together and i plan on hitting some decent numbers. Anyone else on the forum plan on being there?
