Freshman6969 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 so, heres my ordeal..... i pluged the RCAs into the DD-1 to find my h/u's max volume, 59/62...pretty good disconnected the subs from my DC 3.5k that i had just put in, subsonic was all the way down, LPF was all the way up, phase was at 0 (if anyone wants to explain in short what this does thatd be cool) i had the + probe going into the + of the speaker input on the amp, and the - clip on the batt. neg ( later switched to the - speaker input) i can crank the gain to max and no distortion light comes on, it flickers at about a little past half but not quite to 3/4, this is where i set the gain at for now, i tried track 1,3,5,7 and all are the same, no distortion light coming on aside from that slight blink, but it is not constant, this is where im confused, i read the manual twice to see where maybe i missed something, and im doing it right according to the manual, but theres no way in hell im putting my amp at full gain lol, any help here??? i have a LC-1 bass knob controling the sub amp all EQ's where flat at the time, i even put them where i normally have them and same thing...

Torres Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 also, the phase on the amp reverses polarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshman6969 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) also, the phase on the amp reverses polarity so that should stay at zero correct? subsonic should be set a little lower then box tuning? or a little higher? LPF is something id have to play around with right? im not a noob here but amp settings are not something i fully understand lol going out to mess with this real quick ill be back also checked neo-frogs thread, theres nothing about phase that i see Edited August 21, 2011 by Freshman6969 Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k!

Torres Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) yeah leave phase at 0, unless they're inverted and wires are still wired normally. i set my subsonic at around 5 hz below tuning. LPF i believe is usually around 8 0 hz? been so long since i've done any amp settings lol Edited August 21, 2011 by Torres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
