Why the 45's?

SMD Distortion Detector
What harmonics does it measure then? And why would that be useful in a sub? What level is acceptable at each of them? Again, waste of money.

Business/Managerial jobs too. Ditch diggers are in high demand, however. You read that backwards, I see companies hiring engineers everyday.

Interesting, pretty sure I wouldn't come to that even if I was invited.

Depends on what you mean by set. If it is just choosing a logical level to have your amplifier gain knob set to for listening to music then generically speaking it is the best method.

Educate your ear. If you don't have hearing that is worth a crap as I said earlier in this thread there is nothing that device will do that can't be done with a $5 DMM. If you do that though do NOT set the gains to full max (ie just below clipping), but considering that you can't hear the difference with the gains significantly down from there the need doesn't exist. Completely different technology and those are even worse. They do not measure clipping at all.

And if you can't hear it yet, you should slow down and not run at full tilt yet anyways.

Because it adds no value and does nothing good for your system. It will not "tune" your amps correctly, not even close. If you think it will then perhaps you should describe how you'd use it and why you've selected to use it that way. O'scopes can do A TON of other things, but are also WAY overkill for what you want to do. I don't understand at all why anyone thinks they need to set their gain to the threshold of clipping in a system that is only being listened to. Complete idiotic idea. It won't help you protect ANYTHING. If you feel it might, then you don't understand the "tool" and definitely shouldn't use it. Its a gimmick that will make you feel overconfident and not at all help the cause. Please people. Think this over. What level are you CD's/mp3's or whatever recorded at? If you don't know then you CANNOT pick a clipping level for gain setting. You could pick an overly conservative one, but considering the target audience for the device that will just automatically make your system underwhelming. And no, there is no standard so YES all your music will be at different levels. If you want to set your gain before you listen to EVERY song based on the song then go for it and I would then agree this device could almost make sense...but you'd have to be a complete fucktard to want/need to do that.

All depends on build skills. Installation >> equipment so you don't want to screw that up. Oh, Dcon >> Skar based on the company alone that's a no brainer.

And none of them are in a hiring boom, all being walloped by our economy and government. Engineering jobs are in excess in many cities right now. Not sure what you'd plan on doing with an MBA and Eng degree. You'll end up in sales probably...

I love olives, just not ones you can buy at Cub. If there aren't pits in them, they aren't olives. And please always rinse them.

doubling amp power : results ?
Of course. In particular when not listening to back to back. To most people the difference shouldn't be noticeable. All these people using huge amps amuse me.

Not surprised at all. Exactly my point in the SMD Distortion analyzer thread.
