gr8handogoatness Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 He went from a 150w RMS @ 4ohm amplifier to an amp that's 450w RMS @ 4ohm Sub is good for 800w RMS if clean signal. That amp does 1k rms @1 ohm and he probably has his gain/boost maxed since he's not getting the output he wants at 4ohms, that's why it got stinky when he switched it to 1 ohm on the sub. So OP start over, turn your gains and boost down to 0, put your sub at 1 ohm, and raise your gain carefully. DD-1 would be best option since you're playing with a bit of headroom. You can take care of this w/o worrying about your distro blocks but i don't blame you for not taking pics if your wiring is a mess Good point. I agree with this.

HopenCagen Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 lmao i can honestly say i didnt max it out , but it was close im still new to all of this. but its the fact that im fitting knuconcepts 0 gauge ( fat as fuck ) into what i believe is a 4 gauge terminal ( she aint pretty and i dont think its the best idea ) so thats why im getting the distro blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP95 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Gain should probably be around a 1/4 or so up, if that. You can get guage reducers to go over your wires instead of distro blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopenCagen Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 ok , what are some good gauge reducers? and will it bottle neck the power at all? - im stupid for that one lol , so it just plugs straight into the amp then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Always engage your subsonic filter on your amp in addition to setting your gains properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
