Right now i set the amp to max but lowered the bass control on my deck to -6 which gives me 20vlts at max volume then i jst raise it a little bit, depending on the song

Bc, i set the bass amp 40hz -5db to the point before distrtion, out of curiosity i checked the voltage and was +-44 vlts going to the little sub. Can anybody convert 44 volts how many watts would that be? The case is i dont want to burn a perfectly good sub Ac volts x ac volts / speaker ohm = peak power Peak power ÷ 2 = rms 44 volts x 44 volts = 1936 ÷ 4 ohm 484 watts peak power from my amp 484 ÷ 2= 242watts rms. Which is double what my sub handles

Kyblack76, so it would be ok to max out the amp, and burn the little sub? Thats why i used the dmm. I set the amp for my front speakers with the dd1 and it sounds fine

I decided to go withouth the rear speakers, my bass amp is a boss ce3800d feeding my little 8" diamond audio 110 rms, pioneer dxt-4069bt All eq settings to flat, hpf off, subwoofer filter i set to 200hz @ 0 (-24to+6) in my stereo, Volume at 61/62 -5 db 40hz.then used a formula i found on sonic electronix watts x ohm sqare root 110rms x 4ohm= 440 sq.root 20.97 volts as my target voltage Subsonic filter all the way down 15hz, bass boost to 0, lpf to the highest point on the amp 150hz, i set the gain to read 20volts on my multimeter... it was very quiet... Then i a set the gain till the dd1 showed distortion, and played with the sub setting on my stereo lpf 200hz -6 gave me 20volts and was able to go up to 0 and sounded louder, is this safe to do? I got the 8" diamond till i buld a box for my 12" premier

Thanks, that didnt take long, Ill set it to 48 until i run everithing through the rca's 61

Please point me to the right direction i already tried the serach button before posting... I have a pioneer hu, with rear speakers conected straight to the stereo, dd1 shows distortion at 48/62 volume, my fronts are conected to a kenwood 4 channel amp and through the amp the rca, my dd1 shows distortion at 61/62 volume, to which volume do i set the gains. 48 on deck or 61 on rca Kenwood kac 649s running front 2 channels pioneer coax 25rms, rear bridged fr 8" diamond audio sub 110 rms Pioneer deck running front a pillar factory tweeters and rear pioneer 6x9 rated 30rms Thanks in advance
