ChevyBoy95 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Ssf is subsonic filter. But most likely your clipping.

dill30669 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 You need to set your gain level with an oscilloscope. hahaha 140$ for the lowest. is there any other way of doin this? maybe just by ear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammitch0 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Grab yourself a decent multimeter and then go to Realm of Excursion download the 50hz 0db since wave tone and put it on CD/ipod whatever you use mostly. Run this on repeat on your headunit, unplug your subwoofer from the amplifier and stick the positive prong in the positive visa versa for the negative (speaker terminals) Set your DMM to AC voltage. 2000RMS @ 4ohm is 89.44v (so 89v) turn your settings on your HU to flat or 0 turn off your SSF and HPF/LPF all of that. Turn your headunit up to 3/4 volume and then slow turn your gain up until you see that voltage. Once there puta ll your EQ's etc. back to normal (lpf: 70-80, hpf 60-80, ssf 30hz and NO BASS BOOST) I'd ONLY put 2-3k on that subwoofer and with your electrical you can only handle about 2kw without causing clipping. I suggest atleast 220a alternator for your application and atleast 1 high output XS 3300. .2 cents.

Autruche Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 How much did you pay for that sub? I bet it was more than a decent scope costs. I'd rather have to pay a couple hundred for a scope that can be used for every install I did than 400+ for another woofer. And there are many ways to set your gain, but there is only one right way to do it. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

dill30669 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I took it to the closest stereo shop, they said it smelled more like glue than a sub going out... they set the gain and filters for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 LOL. It probably doesn't sound as loud now, but half gains does not mean half output. What headunit do you have? Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
