cc_audio Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Your gain should never be all the way up. In fact I haven't had an amp in my car in the last three years that has had the the gain more than half way, but I always have high voltage pre-outs (Eclipse FTW). And bass boost is a no-no on both amps and head-units, do not use it ever. Start by turning your amps gain all the way down. Set the Sub level on your headunit to zero or flat. Put a heavy bass song on at your normal listening level, and slowly turn the gain up to a comfortable level. And later on down the road, whenever Meade announces the release of the clipping indicator, pick one up to accurately set up your amplifier. Quote It's all gone!

bignickk Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 yea the gain is not a volume knob. its for voltage. and with all that power you dont need a bass boost lol. and arent those amps 16 volt amps? i thought they were Quote 2000 tahoe orion hcca 15.4 kicker zx2500 2 JL 300/4s infinity and kicker mids/highs KHC1400 in back, stock upfront dont ask about my HU clarion EQ kicker/fosgate rcas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
