😅

Wondering if i need a high output generator to run this batterybor my standard generator will be good to power it. I am trying to just add one amplifier maybe a 5 channel amp to run all my system. My goal is to replace my 6x9 in the rear and front 6.5 and a pair of 12s only 100 watts rms each. Hmm. Any suggestions or advice. 😊

This was a GREAT video !! I cant thank you enough for this one. You helped me to see and understand the differences between a 2 and 3 way set up!! Best video yet !! How did you do this? did you have both a 2 way and a 3 way in the car? This was amazing, thank you soooo much for this video !!!

U have to step up in model of sub it would have been worth it to upgrade to comp r

nice👍

Lol my trucks got 4 12 kicker comp r shallows iv still got my back seat it look completely stock in side my 94 chevy truck i had to make custom seat bracket. The subs are the 1gen 800w rms each on a 5k .💯👌👍✌️🫡😉

If I could go back … I would. Do my alternator first but I’m heavy into car audio so it would have made sense to me. Supercap second. Then my LTO lithium third

I fixed mine by adding a lot more grounds and using a distribution block to ground everything too on top of doing the big 4

Very informative

Artist's name?

You should specify the types of lithium you’re referring to. LTO can handle low temps very well. Also now we have sodium cells that hitting the market. I run LTO and sodium cells together. They are running great. Sodium is right under lithium on the periodic table. So it functions like lithium but doesn’t have the energy density. It’s also a safe chemistry like LTO

Clipping in theory for a driver, is almost exactly the same as putting a bare coil on the table, and running a sign wave through it, or DCV +/- through it. Think of your driver as a light bulb. That’s kinda what clipping is. Thing is, not all drivers are affected by such, and in return can damage your amp as it becomes the next weak point. Hopefully this makes sense.

nice video, good explanation.

That looks like the zv4 I rebuilt… where are you from?

I jam this man's rebass tracks alllll the time. Cool to see his setup. Thanks for the fire tracks Russ.

Love this vid peace and love mr. russtical your friend too❤

Amplifier??

His voice is definitely changed in this version. Great song though, I remember seeing him at the mall when I was about 7 years old. He was still touring on this album, I'll never forget seeing his full fist rings back before there was diamonds in them, just some billet-looking block letters but in about 1" thick gold right hand was "SIr" left was "MixALot" the coolest thing I saw at that point in life lol. I was born and raised in SW WA so he was a local hero back in the 80's and 90's.

Let’s hear this song in your Tahoe

I played the old audio game, my bass amp was a 25w soundstream, mid bass a 12.5w soundstream, and a 50 x4 soundstream for mids and highs. Thats 275w @ 4 ohm, competed in 300 and down class, this setup hit 154spl with just 2 12s in a mini van. Ive never seen anyone do this with so little power and just 2 twelves

Thanks for the info I’ll keep rocking with you this helps a lot

Slam so hard it almost gave buddy a heart attack off the rip

Thats pretty much how I run my silverado. Stock alt and 1 extra battery. No problems running a 1500 watt sub amp and two 400 watt 4 channels. Take out the extra batt and the sub amp will go into low voltage protect.

Raingaurds I want those!!!!!!!😮

I'm not clear on one of your points. It seems you associate a clipped signal out of an amplifier with the speaker reaching its maximum excursion levels. I just want to clarify that this isn't always the case. For example, you could have a 500 watt RMS rated subwoofer and power it with a 100 watt RMS amplifier. You could push that amplifier beyond its limits and make it output an extremely clipped signal. Regardless of what enclosure design is being used, you're not getting enough output for the subwoofer to reach its mechanical limits yet the sub is mimicking the movement of the almost square wave. It's moving, stopping, moving, stopping, and generating a tremendous amount of heat during the periods that it's stationary. It's possible this 100 watt amplifier could burn up the coil in that 500 watt subwoofer. Maybe, maybe not, but it would be close. I think a 200 watt amplifier on a 400 watt sub under the same circumstances could definitely burn up the voice coil. So there doesn't have to be a mechanical excursion limit involved. If I misunderstood what you said, sorry in advance.

If you live paycheck to paycheck, the last thing you should do is wasting more money on something that will never make you a single cent, and only cause you tinnitus in your late 30s. Next, unless you buy a new garbage car worth 25k, almost all new cars have a decent audio system. All they need is 8 inch closed sub with a proper amp, tuned to the existing system. A Sundown in a simple box, a D amp and some wires, for 1k will do.

Damn I need more batteries. I just upgraded to two deaf bonce asa 6000.1. I’m getting voltage drop. I have 3 agm, super cap and 320 amp alternator.

Barevids dude did a video on this a few years back essentially saying that clipping being a high frequency was nullified by the amps signal filters.

Everything you said was pretty much spot on. Seems some people have selective hearing and only hear what they want. But some of their arguments have merit. In the world of car audio, clipping is associated with thermal damage.Usually when we clip it is while we push our subs/amps. So clipping our amps/subs and damage "is" synonymous, so technically clipping (in the car audio world) does indeed relate to damage. Apples and oranges really. Your videos are a massive information dump for a lot of beginner car audio enthusiast and have motivated many to dive deeper into this amazing hobby. Ive been doing car audio builds since the mid 90's and am never satisfied. We must go bigger and louder..lol. I started off with 10" pyramid subs from the 90's and have evolved into 8 18" Ampere Audio's running 32,000 watts of rockville audio strapped mono blocks in a 3rd gen honda odyssey. Bass head through and through. I can never get enough. Keep up the good work.

i bought this alternator a month ago any my taramp 3K burned it up in a week not recommended go with js

power handling is more determined by the type of enclosure it is in and the tuning of the system. the longer the coil is out the gap of the more heat and resistance that is created. Clipping has the coil out the gap longer which will create sub failure. made good points but there is so much that goes into equipment failure. I have gone 3 years without equipment failure.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏...awesome content, I love this...any more Sq info

Well, I think I fucked up my front stage because the Unity midranges are so…midrange-y. Should’ve stuck with the RD265 set from Recoil in the doors and sail panels. Don’t have a way to turn the Unities down. They are soooo loud on 40 watts of the REA600.4 amp from Recoil.

present sir!!.. a question sir. how many years did you change from 2way to 3way?

You aint hittin if you aint clipping😎 For real though I always add a little clip to the signal. I gotta trunk so I dont hear distortion as much as I feel it with a little more excursion 🙃😂 I just dont play loud for more than 4 tracks usually. I let the subs cool for about 10 minutes if they aluminum and Copper Coils I let cool for about 10 at mid-volume. Haven't burnt up anything outside of stress testing.

This is exactly the kind of build i figured he would have... fkn SWEET! I love it 🤙

Your system sounds great….. 🔊🔊🔊🔊

should i be able to cook an egg on my amp?

Tell us you are clipping without telling us you are clipping.

You goof ball, we forgive you. We understand you are still learning, keep pushing dude... one day you can be just like big jeff

There are two kinds of speaker failure sir which is mechanical and thermal. clipping causes both of these things to happen easier so for u to say clipping doesn't cause damage to speakers is very irresponsible

What is a clipped signal? It’s converting an AC signal to DC, and yes that will burn up a voice coil. Not even going to watch this BS

Something else thats kills a subwoofer is buying a cheap sub like i did (wolfram ag12 v2 subwoofer rates for 1250 watts rms) and only giving it about 700 watt from the amp and having the subwoofer snap its tensil lead in half and get told that it was user error and have a blow subwoofer that only lasted less than a year. Get you a quality built subwoofer.

🦟👂

I like some bass, but.. that CAN'T be healthy..🤔

Not wrong at all. It's always heat or mechanical stress. Buuuut clipping has the same mechanical effect as over excursion, holding the driver in place at the limits of travel and just sending power through it while it doesn't move, creating heat. Tinsel leads are often burnt this way, not mechanically stressed. Edit: it's not the clipping, per se, but clipping near or above the rated RMS will always cause problems. The guitar analogy while correct, seems flawed, guitars are clipped in preamp stage, and also contain such a wide frequency range that a 100w guitar amp is typically using 25-30 at full volume and the signal after the preamp stays clean, lessening any chance of problems.

I would agreez I clip my subs for 9 months, bass boost on max without any issues and I can play for hours at 29 of 30 volume level. My gain is 1oclock on my korean K03 and two skar vxf 12 subs. The clip light flashes some. I hear just don't let the clip light be a stead on. I don't know but have had no issues. Everyone in comments always is fearful you can't clip at all and they use oscilloscope. I think that's silly. Back in the 90s we never did that, we tuned by ear..I did have a Alpine Type X go quick on a MTX amp a few years ago but that was due to bad tinsel lead and it was bottoming out..I think they were defective as I received a replacement from Alpine and the coil was stuck solid when I opened the box, striaght from the factory. Then they discontinued them. Barevids said the Type X had tinsel.lead issues as they were manufactured too thin.. Getting back to clipping, it's fine, maybe not hard clips becaise some say the coil leaves the gap wh9ch creates heat I haven't tested that theory but tend to think it could be valid at high volumes. Idk.

Great informational video bro. I needed this to re fresh my memory😂😂. Good content 👌🏾

There pretty expensive
