  2. Setting Gain On Amp - No Load?

    in Amplifiers

    Posted · Edited by Bass4Lyfe

    PERFECT thanks pstone and expo :)) exactly waht i needed and that IS the smae chart i was looking at!!

    my dad was like "Matt, listen, it's not seeing a load so it won't work!" obviously this was in the car and he hadn't seen the chart, so now I know since it has the OHMS in it i'm fine :)

    yeah i just want to do it right the 1st time!!

    so i turn the bass knob ALL THE WAYUP

    then set the gain, so if i want less bass i turn the knob down, and it won't clip if i turn it up?

    cool cool!!

    thanks so much guys

    yes sir exactly. i don't have the amp yet - i'm asking this because the amp should come tues or wed so i want to know how to set the gains

    if the amp isn't seeing a load (beacuse speakers are unhooked) iis it still correct to use that chart? 34 votls ac for ~1200 watts RMS @ 1 ohm?

    Thanks expo ...

    OKay so I read through allll the gain topics thouroughly (SP)

    my question is, my dad is an electrical engineer and he "huh'd?" at the way I explained it to him.

    it says use a dMM on AC volts .... unhook the sub and set it to, for me , 34 volts for around 1200 watts at 1 ohm. but there isno load on the amp with the speaker unhooked - how does that work?

    is this alread taken in account in that big chart of AC volts and wattages at what impedence that is on the forum?

    thx hope this made sense

    1st check alllllll your wiring and connectinos to your amp, fusing, shorts, crimps in the wire, etc .....

    then use a DMM and check your power and remote wires to make sure its good

    thennnnnnn theres a chance your amp went bad
