only on musical peaks for a split sec, not enough for most people to hear. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but i dont want any clipping at all.

i just bought a colossus and i have a couple questions. on my colossus the knob that says level(9v-.2v) is the gain correct? now in the amp setting tutoral it tells how to set up the subsonic filter and the low pass filter, but what are the bass eq and phase knobs for? after i set the gains if i turn up the bass,treb,mid,or loud on the head unit will it clip the signal? if i want to use these do i have to set them on the HU then set my gains?

35 hz then lol, ya want the most output right? then 35 hz will work.

what do you listen to most of the time, rock would work well with -10, rap with -6

then use a 35 hz 0db tone you'll get no clipping at all with that. you have to set what you want EQ'd then set the gain and leave those settings there and don't boost anything and keep loudness off, the bass eq on your amp is prolly the "bass boost" use it if ya want or not

thanks man, i appreciate it. in the gain setting tutorals it doesnt say what tones to use.

i mostly listen to rap, what would be the difference between setting my gains with a -6 tone as to a 0 db tone? i mean besides the clipping will there be a difference in sound?

would using the bass eq on the amp clip the signal after the gains have been set?

should i just leave the phase knob alone?

your welcome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the difference would be 6 decibals quieter if you compared the -6 to the 0 db, yeah it would clip the signal, and leave the phase knob alone

just set your gain with a 0b 35 hz tone and see how you like it, if ya want more output then maybe go to a -3 35 hz tone, good luck, it's not that hard once you get the knowledge down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You can get test tones here

How do I download them? I want a -3db 60hz. When I click on it it just brings me a part of their site with a white background and plays the tone out of my computer speakers. How do I save it so I can burn it to a CD?

You can make tones yourself using Audacity. Here Go to generate->tone-> then set what frequency and length you want. You can't set the specific dB level though.
