xx1 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 ok I finally got my box done, and installed both of my subs and amps, batteries. (just to test the box) it is loud (to the ear) it flexes the whole truck. it sound good. but how can I know if i'm using the full potential of my subs/amps or its is OK but could be better??? I do not know anyone around with a termlab. but I wouldn't know what numbers to expect either.

Kranny Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 flexing or being loud isn't an indication of full potential. if you want to know exactly how much power your amp is outputting, you will need to use a clamp meter and multimeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx1 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I do not want to know if my amps are actually putting out enough watts.

skittlesRgood Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 the answer is: no, you are not getting the full potential out of your equipment. i dont need to see a single thing to know that. but not providing any information and a vague question wont get you any help.

Jessica Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) My opinion is te box is too close to the back doors. Might try moving it forward and see. I could be wrong. I just think you need at east port width of one port between port and back doors. edit. and my brand new keyboard has an "H" key tat doesn't work unless you smash it.
