m0rtin Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 the sub isnt new, i bought it used off craigslist still in good condition but im afraid i might be damaging it. so ill turn the bass boost off but what about my gain setting? im afrait to turn it more than half and distort the sub or clip the amp but so far the amp never went into protection mode. the amp will NOT protect if it clips. it doesnt really care if it sends out a square wave. bass boost amplifies a specific frequency so having that up can cause clipping just like the gain does. just use a multimeter and tune it the rite way. there is nothing else to say. im still a rookie when it comes to car audio and the thing is i dont have a multi meter and wouldnt know how to tune my amp with one if i had one. any info on this process would be much appreciated!

sprkn_ranger Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well you could find a reputable shop that has an Oscope and have them set the gains for you. Or one of the members on here that has an Oscope and live close to ya might be able to help.
