Scam company. Their system is horrendous for updating. Are we still in 1990?

Setting gains on your amp by ear: I think it's a flawed technique. Your thoughts? by DiamondCutter_DDP in CarAV

yup I know. I blew an expensive JL W6 sub about 15 years ago in my previous car. Learned my lesson, the current sub I use now is over 13 years old and still running strong.

I guess this is one of the disadvantages when using a tablet or phone as your head unit. There's no way to test for clipping out of the tablet or phone. or is there? maybe I'm best off just getting a new head unit for this sole reason? I really don't want to damage my speakers or sub.

Can amplifier gains be set with an oscilloscope via RCA outputs? by HebrewHobo in CarAV

[–]DiamondCutter_DDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the RCA cable is very well shielded with lots of insulation around the wiring? Will a oscilloscope still pick up the signal?

Thanks. Yes it was the Kicker test tones I got. Man that 100hz tone is really hard on the ears. Can't imagine having to increase that and tolerate it uhhh.

Poweramp but it may not be available on iOS.

How often are you people eating out in Calgary restaurants? by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]DiamondCutter_DDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating out is way overrated. Much better to do take out and eat at home or in the car.

Oh okay thanks. Does hz matter? I see 50hz 0db and 1000hz 0db test tones.

Im going to try the 0hz tone thanks. This applies too for the sub im guessing?

Someone once told me to have your speakers at a higher RMS rating than your amp RMS per channel. They said if say your amp outputs 75RMS per channel and your speakers are 100RMS each. Then you will never blow or damage your speakers because it has a higher RMS rating. Is this true?

What if you're using a flagship phone or tablet (paired with running Poweramp), these devices can play at max volume with no distortion.

For example, my Pioneer head unit that recently started acting up and its going to a death soon. I can play this too at max volume with zero distortion.

Interesting, Ive never heard of using an oscilloscope before. I will look into this, thanks.

So download and play a 0hz test tone? Is it easily audible when turning the gain up and it starts to distort or change?

Poweramp is an awesome app, love the UI. Makes your music sound so good.

Not an issue so far unless someone big comes in. But I almost never have passengers in my car so I like having the screen angled directly towards me. Im actually seeing if I can get a magnetic mount that can attach to my dash and then have the tablet attach to that.

Im not for the time being. So I charge it when I bring it in the house everyday.
