Actually, that a good idea! But, I'm not doing the install. I'm taking it somewhere to have it installed and I don't think the installer wants be bothered with trial and error.

Svj13...So if that's the case, what could I possibly use to test that? I have nothing else to connect to the outputs in order to see if the signal is un-filtered. Vwbobby, Same thing I asked sjv13. What can I use to test the output with??...is there a device other than another subwoofer that...

Ok, I think I understand. One other thing..an installer I was talking to said he recommends a LOC over a splitter. Out of these two options, what would YOU (personally) do? Also, how can I test the output on my sub amp to see if it outputs the original signal vs the low-passed signal?? Btw, I am...

Hmm, in the case how would the amperage be affected??...and would it be noticeable? I also heard something about splitting RCA causes engine noise...is that correct?

Hmm, well my HU outputs are 4V. Being that they are 4V, if I used a splitter, would that not degrade the signal too much?

Situation: I am attempting to connect a Selenium d250x driver to my current setup. As of now, I have used all three pre-amp outs from my headunit. The front/rear outputs connect to a Kicker 350.4 which does not have output RCAs. The sub output connects to a Kicker 750.1. Now, on the 750.1, there...

Lol...honestly, I really wasn't trying to. I was just trying to clarify what the SMD DD-1 was. So in order to tell if my subs are clipping, the SMD DD-1 would do the trick?

How could I troll the thread that I started??...lol. Thanks for the link.

SMD DD-1??...what is that?

Hey!!! I figured out to achieve what I wanted. All I had to do was lower bass setting on the front and rear speakers. I could have sworn that I did that once I got it first installed, but...apparently not. I lowered the bass to about -5. Now, I can crank it to about 30/31...with NO distortion. I...

Yes, exactly. I would like a higher volume before distortion. But if 27 is all I can go up to, then that will have to do for now. Before I look elsewhere for speakers (probably gonna sell these), would you recommend I go somewhere else to have my system tuned?

Ok, sorry about the lack of details...but when I get around 27, I hear what sounds like distortion from too much bass coming through the door and rear speakers. And actually, now that I think about it. I never thought to look at the HPF on the amp. Maybe that could be my issue there. I was...

Well, to be honest, I don't know why I think my HU is distorting...its probably because I've been reading that the Excelon units don't distort until you get around 33. Don't know if that's true for every unit though. And the settings on my headunit are as such: Bass -2 Mid 0 Treble -1...

Hmm, well the speakers are **** near Kickers top-of-the-line...and I do know Kicker is def not a SQ brand, but I figured that I can get a better sound by having the whole system re-tuned. Also, all the wiring is Kicker. 1ga, 4ga, and 8ga. And when you say electrical, are you talking about the...
