  1. 1. Should I set my gains for output

    • 1 channel overpowered, 1 underpowered
    • 1 channel perfect, 1 overpowered.


Recommended Posts

i have an old RF amp 4 channel, so both the channels are not identical. 1 is high, one is low output. i semi fixed the problem by changing balance on HU to match as best as i can. the difference between the channels is only 1 volt or 4 RMS. idk whether to overpower one speaker, and underpower the second. or make one perfect, and overpower the 2nd by more. the first option evens out the distance. i dont think 4 RMS is too big of a difference to do damage to anything, i just need a second opinion. and how much more can these type S take. info in sig. thanks. take part in the poll as well. help me out :pardon:

p.s. the 6.5s are rated for 80RMS, 6x9s 85RMS

if you want to down the voltage of one rca, just get one of those remote level controlers.

but i recomend getting another amp. i dont understand how the channels are different voltages unless you have your gains messed up....

how is one high and one low? i dont understand, what model amp is it?

oh, and if your speakers are eighty watts (collective) your channels should be putting out 17.9v maximum per speaker.

im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire.

Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block....

i will look into that. but its old, and the previous owner probably let it see low voltage. its a good amp overall though.
