Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, and a 500W amp on OEM electrical may not even ever make 500W Most stock electrical can handle 500 watts no problem. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Yes it can but I mean bone stock as in most shops don't do big 3, and all of that. Not saying it's an overload on the electrical.

TexasRam Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Nobody that actually knows anything will be able to tell you where to set your gains or anything else at over the internet, but we can help you get to where you need to be. The installer of this gear, did they use an oscilloscope or a DD-1 to set your gains? Also, does that amp have high level inputs or did they use a line out converter to send signal to the amp? LOC's are trash. What you need to know is the maximum undistorted volume of the head unit, then the gain needs to be matched to that. Bass boost is usually a bad idea unless you only like a narrow band of bass to play well and to hell with the rest. Where are you located at? take the max number the headunit's volume goes up to and multiply by .75 This gives you the volume setting to use when setting gains 2010 Ram 1500, Pioneer deh80prs,2-12" RE SXXv2's downfired in vinal wrapped center console box, kenwood 6x9's in the doors on a mtx 4 channel, viper 5901, big 3, kinetik 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
