triplec19 Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 the annoying thing is the sub isnt even as loud as it should be when i turn the gain to the level where it doesnt clip, given that the sub is new n breaking in as we speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autruche Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I installed an AQ2200 last weekend, after I scoped it I noticed the clipping light is spot on. One thing that does make a difference though is whether or not you get full RCA voltage out from the head unit. My suggestion is to try to get a hold of a DD-1 or a scope and tune your head unit to find it's maximum volume, then tune the amp. Many times I've tuned an amp and had it sound like crap until we scoped the head unit and got full power out of it's RCAs. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

triplec19 Posted October 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) by full power out of the RCA's u mean the max volume before the head unit clips? and if thats so then i guess i gotta find out why my system isnt any louder than my old 15 inch Fi SSD on a 1200w hifonics. Should i turn the bass boost up at all? Edited October 2, 2011 by triplec19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeje Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Don't touch the bass boost set your gain with a scope or dd-1 and set your filters in the right spot.
