RMac18 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 The 3 dials beside the rca input is your bass boost, LFP(Low Pass Filter)(Frequency)), and Input Sensitivity(gain). What do you have these dials set to?
Joshua Dumas Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 alright ill make sure to turn it down, i never knew what that nob did since the manual for the amp didnt give a good explanation so i just left it. you dont need to post a picture, but thanks for the responce. do you have any suggestions for what i should do regarding the other sub though? it sucks only using one sub.

Mojo Man Miller Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 make sure you have a really strong ground on your amp.... http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/My car: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160564-2000-camaro-2-mojo-12s-videos-up/#entry2314594
Joshua Dumas Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 bass boost is at 0, isf is at 25, lpf is at 50, phase is at 0, input sensitivity is at .2
Joshua Dumas Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 the ground is going to a whole in the trunk that i sanded down so theres no paint. its making good contact
Jessica Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 ok, what headunit do you have? it's ok to run lpf at 50 but 80 or 90 will get you more bass. seems like .2 is too much, but not knowing what headunit you have there is no way to know. I have a lot of experience with this amp, and it runs hot and hates being clipped even a little. I think that is your problem. I also clamped it at like 670 watts at 3ohms so it should drive your subs just fine. We just need to get those gains set right. Plus, you could just put those subs in a ported enclosure and that will get them louder. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

RMac18 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Your gain needs to be set properly not just set to max, its not a volume knob and your most likely clipping the shit out of that sub.
Joshua Dumas Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 the headunit is a kenwood excelon kdc-x596. i have no idea what to set the gain too, i just left it the way it shipped. and i only have it hooked up to one sub right now because each sub is 400watt rms. dammit haha the guy at crutchfield said a sealed box would be the best way to go.
Joshua Dumas Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Posted January 23, 2013 how would i know if the sub is clipping? it doesnt make any strange noises, and it hits pretty hard.
