turn the deck up 3/4 and set your amps up - NOT.......the real way is with an O-scope, see why here.

  • do all radio head units clip when turned all the way up? thats such a let down. and where can i get that cd not the 3 sixty just the disc lol

  • some clip at half (or less) some clip at 3/4 and some dont clip at all......thats why its important to use a scope so you can SEE it rather then just guessing. If you do the 3/4 volume "rule of thumb" you could be hurting your system or leaving a bunch of output out on the table either way - gotta scope it! :)

see all

  • @SuperBrandango no prob

  • @demass216 thanks man

  • @SuperBrandango I wouldnt get the cap I would recommend upgrading your electrical system. Most cars can only take like 400 rms or something like that. a new alt and battery and the big 3 would get rid of that dimming effect for sure. I tried getting a cap to stop dimming it just made my lights dim more, but my system hit harder. All the cap does is hold extra power for your amp. It has to get the power from your electrical system its kinda like having 2 amps instead of 1 running on your stock.

  • is clipping the reason when I turn my deck up it sometimes blows the fuses on my amp?

  • @kyloooo if you watched the video he shows you what track he used!

  • yeah its realy handy i dit it on this way and it play ALOT better :)

  • Hey Steve, would setting my gains with a 40 Hz wave have any affect on really low frequency response or can you set everything with a lower frequency??

  • would you recommended a capacitor for a 1800 watt kenwood? My s10s lights kinda flicker when i turn it up, or a better battery

  • steve, i've been racking my brain until i found this vid. you should call this 1 of 3. thanx for all your help tho bro.
