blew my HD315

my mistake, im interchanging "DMM" with voltmeter. i set this sub with a volt meter. sorry for the confusion. but i dont listen to my music very loud. and the gain was set about half a turn. i really dont know how it could have clipped. not to mention bass boost was off.

Yes I know. DMM=voltmeter. It still won't tell you if the amp was clipping.

BTW, recone is less then 100 bucks. im going to get it with a second 15 and work on an SPL setup...

do you really think the amp clipped with the gain set a half turn and bass boost off on my HU?

Yes I really do. To be honest, I'm suprised that amp was able to blow an HD3 with a clipped signal.

You rate it approximately. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif It is how 90% of the people on here set their gains.

Using the O-scope is not an option for people who don't have access to one. I use the o-scope and a volt meter and the approximation on the volt meter has been correct with clipping every time, it is usually under clipping level.

well i guess it blew from clipping with the gain set at well under what it should have been according to the method of many CA users. like already stated, TIME FOR A RECONE!

this time ill get the rite tools to set everything.

I cant believe you said the recone is under 100$ I paid 130$ for 1 of my 15s and that was with NO SHIPPING!

and i quote DJ from 3:43 today.

"If you send it to us it would cost $140 plus return shipping. If you can do it yourself the kit is $89 plus $12-$15 shipping"

 

[jmanjr]

Well either way its not under 100$ but ok looks good, have fun doing it yourself, pretty easy, just kinda touch with the glue getting everywhere....

 

[cha0 10+ year member]
