Increased HU voltage

jeremy im not sure what you want me to tell you... lol our test showed that turning the gain up increased or spl out put adding a line driver increased it by 1db. i understand what you are saying and y it doesnt make sense but nothing in spl does... lots of stupid little things have huge effects for instance putting my sunvisors straight up and down gained me 3/10s of a db. pushing on my right rear window gained me .6db but pushing on any other at the same time caused me to loose .2 db... see what i mean? i know this happends with alot of guys when you add a line driver

you just have to get an eclipse deck that already has 8volts then you dont have to worry about it.

Enjoy your clipping signal Bil, alon with damage to both the subwoofer and amplifier because of it. I can't picture a line driver adding a decibel.

lol ok guys how many of you do spl cometitons? there are very few spl guys here obviously i know what im doing here if im picking up sponsores. ask any other spl guys most have seen spl increases using line drivers. whether its just a fluke or not its still a gain. eclipse is a great head unit but i dont want to buy and eclipse and beat the hell out of it in an spl car that just sounds wrong to me.

at the latest show we check my stuff and it wasnt clipping mike stiers infact did the testing and it was fine. i didnt turn the gain up all the way but moving it up a tad bit from where it usually is gave us a decent gain. you can tell me all you want about clipped signals and all that stuff. but that still doesnt change the fact that there wasnt any clipping and i gained 1 db... like i say in the past dont tell me i didnt do something unless you try it.

devin since you have a tl try it... put a line driver on one of your setups and meter it... if you want i will bring in a few more reputable spl guys such as myself that have seen gains by adding a line driver. again i dont know y you keep questiong things i say on this board as i have backed most of them up and there is no reason to be a smart ass about it. you go out and try it prove me other wise. then you can be a smart ass all you want.

untill then you have no actual facts to discredit or disprove what i am saying. as i said before stupid things make stupid changes. this is called learning testing and tuning. doing whatever you can to get that extra tenth. if it works for me and doesnt cause any issues with clipping then it doesnt matter does it?

Dude, you have been an SPL guy for what, three months? There are people on this board that have 15+ YEARS in the industry. Quit acting like a car audio God. If you are such an avid SPL competitior, how did you ass a second 15" and 3,000 watts and LOSE decibels?

Wow, I can see the PM coming now...

lol i didnt loose any decibles i just gained .6 and no i have been doing spl competetivly for 2 years smart ass. but have been into audio for 5 i just havent been at this board that long. and yes im sure there are smarter people here than me and i understand that like john and kiki and geo. how long have you been at this justin? lol you get so pissed over stupid shit and make personal attacks? and if your gonna blast me get your facts right check the db drag scores i still placed first at both. the first competiton i did a 148 with a single 15 and a single mm4000.1 and the second i did a 148.6 with 2 of each. and i know y i didnt get higher numbers. do you? i do not have the room to give 2 mt 15s the proper air space. lesson learned now im chaning my setup. i never once claimed my self a car audio god nor do i portray myself as one. so instead of proving me wrong you attack me personally? that sounds like a good plan justin! jesus christ man what is your problem? all this started because i said most spl guys gain some spl because they used a line driver? u know justin its funny you can say im not this or im not that but i have 2 major company sponsors if you want proof ill give it to you. http://www.teammaxxsonics.com obviously they seem to think im worthy of that title so dont try to say i dont know what im doing. and last of all grow up... give me facts prove me wrong dont go act like a 12 year old with your personal attacks.

WOAH TWO WHOLE YEARS?? I've been into car audio for 7 years now my friend. No, I do not claim that is a lot, but it's certainly more then two. Your sponsorships are partial, you don't get stuff for free, you get it at a discount. Most people can get that Bill. Don't you say didn't lose decibles, because you did. You even came on the board asking why you lost decibles. Plus I know for a fact you are constantly IMing certain members of the board for help. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with asking for help, but don't act like you know everything when you don't. Half of your posts are simply you agreeing with someone elses post. Plus, I've proved you wrong on sh*t you have posted before. For instance the alternator thread where you said you have taken apart a MCR alt and an Excessive alternator, I called bullsh*t, then you came out with "Well not me PERSONALLY", but I know someone who did. Come on Bill, quit with the sh*t. Most of the time I think you are a good guy. Any day you want to go toe-to-toe with car audio knowledge, let me know.
