Bronze Member Username: Chuck78Post Number: 77 Registered: Mar-07 | audiocontrol epicenter, PA has an epicenter too that I think I remember Chad Lee saying was exactly the same as the audiocontrol I have an epicenter and love it to death, I'd suggest you try one |

Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1948 Registered: Aug-06 | ya, thats the epicenter. it works great but you need a remote for it really. the epic-160 is the indash version, so the knob is right there... |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1949 Registered: Aug-06 | and the epic-160 has a voltage meter and db meter. db meter isnt accurite but it is consistant. meaning if you get a 3db gain on it, you really got a 3db gain probably. BUT if it says 147 it may really be 141 or 145 or 183 or whatever. but it will say 147 OVER AND OVER AND OVER, its consistant. |

Silver Member Username: WinterfreshpimpChisago, MN America Post Number: 534 Registered: Mar-06 | sound cool... but if it doesnt do that much why do people love them? |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1955 Registered: Aug-06 | "Processors will not increase SPL......." hmmm, i would have to say the epic-160 would increase your SPL by atleast .1db, making that claim false. turn that knob and tell me its not building more cabin pressure... im human though, so its possible that im wrong... |
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 3102 Registered: Jul-06 | There's nothing a signal processor can do that will give you more SPL than simply playing a test tone at full volume. If they could, all the competitors would use them. |
Bronze Member Username: Chuck78Post Number: 80 Registered: Mar-07 | Maxx - I love mine b/c I can mess with the bass on songs by turning a knob. It centers signals it receives around a single frequency and sends that to teh subs. |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1960 Registered: Aug-06 | oh, i see what you mean M.S. my epic will gain db if i crank on it but i cant get any more db out of it when im at full tilt already. |

Silver Member Username: WinterfreshpimpChisago, MN America Post Number: 537 Registered: Mar-06 | tremor what was yours called again? |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1963 Registered: Aug-06 | epic-160. and i personally would NEVER use it for sound quality purposes. i use it strictly for murdering ears purposes. |
Silver Member Username: WinterfreshpimpChisago, MN America Post Number: 540 Registered: Mar-06 | i like that idea^^ |
Silver Member Username: ShadeMoxee, Wa U.S. Post Number: 335 Registered: Nov-06 | doesn't epicenters make for a "more" dirty signal? or is that not noticable. |
Silver Member Username: WinterfreshpimpChisago, MN America Post Number: 554 Registered: Mar-06 | i dont know. i dont think that would matter to much for an spl setup... nto to sure though |
Gold Member Username: Tremor1127Team Fi Car Audio [:-] Post Number: 1996 Registered: Aug-06 | i think it acts like a line driver so im sure you can clip your amps/subs using it. i dont think you will notice anything signal related unless you are just clipping your subs. it doesnt make every song sound better. but alot it will, especially rock. it will also reveal almost non existant bass lines in songs. theres bad @$$ bass lines in songs that people never hear unless they use something like this. |
