Radio volume oddity, im an idiot
Radio volume oddity, im an idiot
I got a Pioneer DEH P2900MP Have had it for about a yr now, got it cheap but always been a fan of the DEH searies. I thought it was because I was playing MP3s that kept me from being able to go full volume. 50-55-58 [depends on music style] is the loudest it will go without starting to sound liek crap. Lots of tuning, at one point I gave up and just tuned everything for best sound a 50/ cranked amps up so I get full power at half volume. Ended up buying some CDs again as I wanted to be able to jam it louder. And my originals were scratched up to bad. Thinking its the quality of the MP3s holding me back. Get my new scratch free CDs in the mail and dam it all I can't go any lounder/cleaner with the same song as a a low quality 128k MP3. Im stumped till I try some ubar clean volcals stuff id never listen to but for a test.... OK so now I know what the problem is. The volume only goes up to 62, not the 100 I assumed, no mention in the book about that either.

Solution: Ripe music into wav files, run through Audacity with the amplify filter at max setting without clipping.
30% louder music files.

Quote:
Never would of thought 62 as maxed out, now if it stopped at 50........... But since it kept going, I expected 100 max. Reminds me of the SpinalTap movie. My Amps go up to 11, 1 better then the rest. Running the ripped .wav's through Audacity did do the trick. Sounds just as clean as the CD but much louder. [Louder is better with dual glasspacks.] Though its gonna be work to get all my music ramped up volume wise like that.

And even more what’s messed up is because of all this; I unhooked 4 speakers as I thought they were going south. They are stock speakers but still did well as I only had them set up for the highs. [DEH series has awesome audio controls.] And ran all my amp’ed power into a sub. To help cure “it” I dumped the stockers as maybe it was them crapping out at half volume and grabbed a 6x9 box with good speakers & now the sub only has half the amp.
Now I gotta rewire it all as it was good that way.

Audio problems suck.. my supra has no bass at all, was debating putting in a pair of 5x8s.. but i realize the money would be better spent if i saved what i have for the camaro.
