Tarball Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 set gain with bass knob all the way up. I hope you're joking not joking, bass knob is just a remote gain not a boost. set the amp gain with the remote turned up will prevent you from clipping with the knob.

RCP Audio Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 set gain with bass knob all the way up. I hope you're joking not joking, bass knob is just a remote gain not a boost. set the amp gain with the remote turned up will prevent you from clipping with the knob. not all remotes are like that. my old amp had a remote that simply boosted a certain freq. so I put a knob in line with the RCA's which I then made sure was on full before DD1ing OP. If it boosts a freq... take it out. go spend the little amount of money to get a lc1 ( I think thats what its called over there, the RCA inline knob) Quote PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothra Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 set gain with bass knob all the way up. This. I'll bet that OP set amp gain with knob all the way down now wondering why just a little touch makes it have all types of that extra bass.

Deadly hertzz Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yes it's An audio control, and yes I set it with it down and it's not a bass knob that acts ass a bass boost just as a level control, so I should reset it with it all the way up?

WastedTalent Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 yessir. if you see meade's vid, he says that. something along the exact lines of "set it with where you normally have it at". so if you want it full tilt? set it with it all the way up.

never knows best Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 assuming you have clean signal, if your front speakers are distorting i'd guess your crossover is set too low... just because a signal is undistorted doesn't mean you can send 20hz to some comp set- that or your over powering them- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Hu powered speakers and 8 12's walled? Now I've seen it all. Yes, you usually set it with the remote all the way up unless it's a bass boost. And lose the line driver, offcourse your gain will be at max if your amp can only handle 6V instead of the maximum 8 a line driver can provide at maximum volume. Line drivers are useless in 99% of the installs that use them, only use for them is if you split a lot of RCA's, to like 8 or more amps and you start out with a 1V signal or lower, other then that it's pointless. If it removed engine noise for you that's very lucky for you because they always add noise to the signal, just find the origin of the noise and lose the line driver.
