00mgm Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have a 9512 D2 hooked up to a RF T2000bd. I currently have it running at 4 ohms. I have my gained turned a little more than half way up to prevent clipping. My friend and I got into a discussion about how i should be able to turn my gain up full safely since im only running it a 4 ohms. My thoughts were even at a low power I would still create a clipped signal which would damage my equipment. My question is since im running my amp at such little power and great efficiency would i be able to turn my gain up all the way and be safe at the low levels of power?

memphisBred Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 no just because your wired at a higher impedance doesn't mean you can just crank the gain. You could be getting a clipped signal at 1 ohm or 4 ohms just with the gain at half or any other level. Use an O-scope to see at what point you are clipping.

Supercharged DCs Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Quick question, why are you running it at 4ohms? Is your electrical not enough to handle the RF2000 at 1ohm?

00mgm Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I only have the big 3 done in 0 gauge and when i run it at 1 ohm it plays but i get bad voltage drop. so until get somemore upgrades im gonna stay at 4ohms.

Supercharged DCs Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ah, I figured. Well good luck getting more power mate, that 9512 is hungry! Quote Bassless once again.

TeamHT Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Turning the gain all the way up does not mean turning the amp all the way up to 2,000 watts. And I'm going to guess there's some clipping now. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
