kingsuv Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 So you set the gains with a DMM and not a scope. So yes in theory you have set the amp to put out an X amount of power, However this does not mean it will not be putting out a clipped signal. I would start there, then look at the box design. If it is the wrong design for the type of music you like to listen too then it will be hard on your subs. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
