I've had the 160 for some time now. With the same system in the same car I have hit as low as 142 and as high as 162. What I have found is it is temparature sensitive. When temp is moderate i score the same as my local shops meter. Cold i do less and when the car is hot as hell in the summer I max it out. Edit: I have mine wired to a cig lighter plug so I can pull it toss it in another car whenever.

I'm sure technical minded people will jump down my throat for this but what it does kind of is back the power off starting at the freq you set it. So if your box is tuned to 40 you might set it to 36 hz and that whay notes lower than your tuning don't hit as hard and make the sub lose it's loading and start free flapping. Flame away lol

With my gain knob you set the gain then plug in the knob. The knob then sees what you have your gain at as max.

Just figured I'd share

That is kinda cool actually. Maybe somthing like that would be good to test a body panel while doing tones. Ones that read off of the tone being played would get dampening and ones that read on would be left alone... -
Sounding like poo is only one reason clipping is bad, Overheating is another. The way I understand it is a good sine wave looks like rolling waves. A clipped signal is flat at the tops and bottom og the waves. In subs for example the cooling comes from the movement of the sub. Since your subs aer a mirror of your signal they are staying out and in a fraction of a second longer thus overheating. As far as amps go it gets them hot as well, but I don't know exactly how. If I'm wrong someone like James or sometone can call me names and set us straight

Good subs and amp?

It does get expensive quick, I think 2 grand is a little low on the estimate. Im in the middle of a big build and have that much in sound deadener and batteries.
