ok i really hate to ask this, but how are you able to tell when your amp starts to "clip"? And what exactly does it mean?
-
amp clipping
bristabrock replied to bristabrock's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
well i know a way i could use a oscilliscope, and i believe i can hear distortion fairly good, because i always find myself getting aggravated when i hear that all too famous un-natural sound, and thanks it did answer my question -
stetson amplifiers.
bristabrock replied to high_score_1's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
are you sure it was 4 of them? if im not mistaken i believe its 3 running him 21000 watts, but then i can be wrong -
welcome from lafayette!!!!! UL!!! just kidding, i love LSU
-
i want that poster!!!!!!!! and the number too!!! but i cant really help you with your desision, as i havent tried or heard either, but im planning on getting a pair of xcon's, also, why wouldnt you be able to make a sq system with a wall?
-
haha i live in lafayette louisiana so i know EXACTLY what you are talking about, is there any possible chance i would be able to hear that woofer by thy way, it would really make my day
-
ive been looking at cdt mids and tweeters lately, specifically the hd-642 set, has anyone has anyone had any experience with this brand, or better yet this series, and whats your review if so
-
Ok I'll make sure that it is, and those are beautiful door panels also, what about the way i was thinking of mounting my 4"s?
-
I was thinking of putting 6.5"s in my door panels, some 4"s in a sealed console i would have to make to go right under the dash in the middle, and some 1" tweeters in my A-pillars. Or possible put both the 6.5" and 4"s in the door panels. My tastes go from jazz, blues, and classical, to metal. Mostly progressive rock like Tool, Opeth, Mastodon, A Perfect Circle, stuff like that. I also plan on running this system passive since its going to be my first real system, i figured it would be easier to deal with and learn. My goal is to try to reproduce the studio quality of the recording as best as I can. I plan on also running a pair of SSA XCON's, either 15"s or 18"s, running off of a pair of Sundown 2000s or a 3000. Not too sure on the amps for the components, I was thinking maybe the new ZED amps when they come out like the 6 channel one. If theres anything else you need to know please let me know. Also I was thinking of putting a 8" woofer in a custom center console, would it be possible to make cross-overs and set a EQ to where the 8" and the big woofer wont interfere? Just a thought.
-
no ive never heard them, honestly ive never heard anything close to a sq system is a vehicle so im pretty hyped to make one in my vehicle, i just wanted to know if anyone ever had any experience with them since they look like a pretty decent choice from what ive only seen on the internet
-
well i finally fixed all the things on my truck that need to be fixed (exceptfor the a/c which is being a pain) and im finally about to get off of doctors leave from my surgery and ive found a new, much better paying job, now im planning on finally installing a system! I started yesterday by buying a Kenwood KDC-X493 head unit, it has pretty descent features and i plan on using it untill i finish everything else, now i need to get new speakers, im not sure if i would like to run ctive or passive yet since i dont know all the advantages/disadvantages of each, so if someone could poit that out or direct me to another post that would be great, but i plan on having some in my door, tweeters in my A-pillars, and maybe some in the middle right underneath my dash (this is not considering an 8 or 2 in a custom made console, and my sube in the back cab) so could anyone help me with good speakers to put in, im aiming for a SQ system and i have yet to set a budget but i dont wat to go overboard with the whole thing. if im missing any needed information please inform me, thanks!
-
also, would the new ZED amps be able to run active if chosen? i love the idea of running their new 6 channel
-
ok, if were to choose to run active, what are good tweets, and mids to get, and if i were to run passive what would be other good component sets to get besides the SPX-17PRO's? Also what are some good sq 8"s or 7"s?
-
if i would keep the headunit i have now would i thenhave to purchase a active cross-over to run it active, and also are there any differences with running the active cross-over through the head unit compared to through a seperate active cross-over?
-
well in that case if i would choose to run active later with a different head unit, could i just buy the speakers and amp now and then just get a active crossover and different head unit later and run with the same speakers and amp?
-
i bought this deck yesterday and it comes with the demo mode on, in the insructions it says to push and hold the volume knob in for 2 seconds and it will switch it from on to off, and off to on depending on what its already in, but when i do this the mode is still on, can anyone help me? it would be greatly appreciated

bristabrock replied to bristabrock's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical

Ok, a guy at my trade school let his cousin use his JL A1400 amp, suposedly the cousin sprayed WD40 in the ground connection, why i do not know, and now he says the protect light comes on, i kow hes not the smartest fella and might be hooking it up wrong since he has it back now, he brought it to trade school looked at it, it was fine so he brought it back and it worked, then protect went on again, now hes getting his cousin to buy him a new amp, and he wants to get rid of this one, he brought it for me to look at but neither me nor my teacher can find anything wrong with it, and he wants to sell it for $75, what do yall think?
-
worth it?

tube car audio amplifiers?
bristabrock posted a topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
so does anyone know of any companys making any all tube car audio amplifiers anymore, if so, who are they, and if you can supply any details about them, that would be great -
very nice, lots of power in those things, rode with a guy with some 29.5" outlaws, a supertrapp exaust, and it did water wheelys like there was no tomorrow, only bad side is they are kinda heavy =-( my 420 floats like a boat!
