I am not bi-amping my comps, so the settings for my Eclipse CD8053 go hi: front comps, mid: rear doors, low: sub. This all refers to "pro mode" as the easy mode does not let me fade the rear speakers down and take advantage of its time alignment settings at the same time. First question: if my...

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way on this thread: http://forum.sounddomain.com/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=030419 Make sure to read the comments after the link that address warnings about voltage. Don't know if they're unfounded or not... The program linked to looks a little old...

Clumsy me. I bumped into this.

Has anyone done this successfully? Is the native audio hardware in a G4 Powerbook Titanium 1GHz capable of flat enough measurement? I have a decent mic, an Audio-Technica 825, and have found a couple shareware programs that have RTA's: SignalScope, iSpectrum and Amadeus II. I don't really...

In that case, Me'shell Ndegéocello's Peace beyond Passion is very well produced.

What kind of music do you like? That may make recommends easier. My reference disc is Mirrors of Embarrassment by Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. I am intimately familiar with that CD, but it may not be to your liking.

OK, in the home stretch here... What amp would you recommend for an Alpine SWS-1042D Type S 10" sub in a sealed enclosure? It likes 300W RMS. Looking for SQ, but I drive fast with the windows down, so I like it loud and clear. I am looking at the MTX Thunder 421D which puts out 300W @ 2 Ohms...

Great, there goes my favorite CD: "Greatest Sine Sweeps of the 20th Century"...

Does "typical" include "loud"?

Thanks for the quick replies, guys. So my worries are unfounded? I was under the impression that clipping was more likely at high volume levels if the preout voltage exceeded the sensitivity rating of the amp. So my Soundstream Rubicon that has a sensitivity rating up to 5V will be OK? I'll...

Can y'all recommend amps that can accept an 8V preout from my Eclipse CD8053? [Edit] So there will be no danger of clipping. I'm all about SQ. One 2 channel will be for a set of Focal 165K2P comps. They like 100W RMS. The other will be for an Alpine SWS-1042D Type S subwoofer in a sealed...

Hi Folks, My first post. Thanks for the mind-boggling wealth of knowledge, and all. I just picked up a Soundstream Rubicon 300-2 (RUB300-2) 2 x 75W RMS @ 4 Ohms amp for a great price, but my mind was clouded by greed. I realized after I got home that it is only rated for up to 5V input. My...
