ok, i used an o-scope to set the gains but i am definitely not as loud as i was with just one saz1500 at .5ohm. going to test each amp tomorrow, if both work ill run each at 1ohm and gain match.
-
i used an o-scope on the hu in the past and it shouldnt be clipping at that point. so i did everything right... why isnt my voltage getting above 59?
-
into the + on both amps correct???
-
correct, that is what i did. but when you test gains with a dmm should you be reading the + from both amps?
-
gain knob was not connected. no voltage selector.
-
- is connected from one amp to the other.

i just realized what it might be... since its 2 amps strapped it uses the + outputs from both amps. master + goes to sub + and slave - goes to sub -. i used the wires that go into the subs so i used the + from both amps. is that the problem? ill have to test it again tomorrow

whenever i try to set my gains with a dmm i can never get the voltage i am supposed to. i was just trying to set my 2 saz1500's strapped. i need 77v. turned the gain up all the way and only got 59.1v. hu volume was at 50/62. now here's the kicker... if i turn the volume up more than 50 the voltage goes down. same thing if i raise the sub level on the hu. ive tried using a differant dmm on a differant amp in the past and i couldnt seem to get the voltage up to where i needed it either. i didnt try going all the way up on the gain though. any ideas on why im not getting high enough voltage?

with this kind of question i would say dont go over what they are rated at. stick to the subs rms rating when you pick an amp. how much are you looking to spend? sundown amps are great if you can afford it. hifonics makes good cheap amps. way too many options to list. -
i would guess that as the tone gets closer to the bottom limit of human hearing, it gets harder to hear at a distance. so to the ear, 34hz could sound louder. but more likely... you are looking at videos. i bet your computer speakers dont play 26hz and the mic used wont pick up 26hz. so you only hear the higher pitch flexing of the truck.
