limit of your system? what volume do you normally listen at?
Just wondering people:
Do you all know the limit of your system musically, before something starts burning, or just sounds a lil muddy? (I doubt i'll ever have a system that i don't know this limit).
Likewise, how loud do your normally have your system when you're driving by yourself?
For myself, everything is set so that my limit is generally @ 25 on my deck (depending on the recording). I'm pretty well always listening at 24 unless it's a wacky recording.

On the Alpine scale(0-35)gains are set to give me nice cruisin' level at about 20, by 25 it's very loud (still super clean)and by 30 I am deaf in about 5 seconds. My system plays to max(35) with virtually no distortion(at least not any that I can hear) even though my front comps and rear 6x9s are crossed at 60hz. Gains are set at the 2:00 o'clock position(best compromise for noise and output with these set ups) for my 4 volt decks with Rockford, hifonics and ppi amps.

My system plays full range music at 110- 115 db without distorting. Bass notes in the 130's but who cares about bass?
I listen around 80 to 90 dB but sometimes louder to reproduce orchestral peaks

some decks are weird though, on alpine i think it's around 25 (out of 35) where the volume really turns up all of a sudden. some other dekcks have a linear increase in volume, and some almost seem exponential. i dunno. but on my alpine deck i uslually listen around 18-22 but then i usually have gains set high...so it's loud enough for me.

yeah for driving I set it 20-25 but when I am out of the car it's at 30 and no distortion (a set of AVI BSM's mids and tweets grace the front compartments of my car powered by a PG Xenon 100.4) Sad thing is...... I have no subs in the car right now, so it kinda sucks. [img]graemlins/banghead.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
