dunkoholic Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I just got a Saz-2500d and I was wondering if anyone can help me with my settings. The amp is pushing 1 12 XL Box net is about 2.27 cubes tuned to 32 hz I opened my trunk and heard that my sub is clipping so i turned all my gain down and start all over. So around where should i set my: Gain = ? Subsonic = ? Lpf = ? Bass Boost = ? Phase = ?

fmedina Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Correct me if I'm wrong. But gain use an oscope if not then a dmm meter. Subsonic according to your box ssf around 28 or so. Lpf around 80hz no bas boost and phase 0 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton1 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I kno bass boast 0 and LPf 0, and ur gain based on how loud u turn ur volume on hu and I'll go 45% on my gain with bout 30-35 volume I have a 3k sundown amp and think its the sub sonic to 30hz and phase 25% up that how I got my amp set up and it's perfect and if u need more power just turn ur gain up more.. Turn all bass off on HU. When u set the volume don't go over.. 40 volume will be the max to go too if u have a good hu. I have a great one that's y mines go up to 30 volume demoing and when at comp 35 volume cause Thats what it tune to after 35 it start clipping stage..that's me, my box is tune to 32 hz too..
