rgriffin83 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 I just installed my BTL N2 on a AQ2200D 2200 watt rms amp and it sounds great so far but the gain on the amp is only halfway up as I don't know if the btl would be able to handle the gain all the way up.. Anyone have this setup or have an opinion on if I can turn the gain up higher? If it would take it I would have the gain all the way up.

MrSkippyJ Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 your gain setting is completely dependent on input voltage and has nothing to do with how much your amp can put out.

Miguels Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 i wouldnt set the amp at full gain, you need to check for clipping Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

rgriffin83 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 I have a kinetik hc1200 under the hood and a hc2400 dedicated to the sub, all 0 guage wiring, and a 150 amp stock alt. the amp is 2200 watts rms and the sub is 2000 rms so?

It depends on your rca pre out voltage, the gain is not a volume knob. Quote
Miguels Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 yes the sub can handle the amp but dont set the gain all the way up it will send a bad signal and will burn your sub, it will do that even if you had a 1000 watt amp Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/

I said with the output of the amp. You don't get "more" out of your amp by turning the gain up, you get the most out of your amp by setting the gain correctly, and that correct setting has nothing to do with output, but the input of the amp. The higher the input voltage, the lower your gain is set.
