tboorn Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Well, my Pioneer that's rated 150W @ 4 ohms isn't powerful enough. Bass overtakes the mids at any volume. Bass amp doesn't even get hot either, if anything I can turn it way the hell up. Had the bass higher before, still didn't even get warm. But yeah, I don't know what to use and I know JL Audio makes a 500W two channel amp for this kind of application, but I'm a poor little schoolboy so I can't afford it. In my beginning post, I found a Hifonics amp that's rated 500W max, but only 160RMS. If your running all your amps at 4 ohm, since your so infatuated with the 4 ohm rating i assume you must be, then of course they're never going to get hot, they're most likely designed to run stereo 2 ohm loads, like i said before the gain IS NOT A VOLUME NOB, turning it up is only going to increase the amount of clipping the amp produces, it still cant create power so it has limitations that it cannot pass in terms of output voltage, your just getting closer to a square sine wave, therefore just working the speakers more, not the amplifier. If your pioneer is a 4-channel, maybe try bridging it and running your speakers in parallel so youll get "more power", and still be at a 4 ohm load if possible.

Krakin Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 You are describing a T15k http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/t15kw Good luck It doesn't have enough capacitors.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

ALPINE408 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Lmfao haters what are we hating on your lack of knowledge? People actually telling you what your doing wrong and you still ignoring it Or the fact that anybody that knows anything about audio knows your talking out your ass while asking advice at the same time acting like you know it all Here is an idea you won't do but will take you far on this forum Admit you have no clue what your doing and humbly ask what could be wrong with your system cause you have problems and an amp ain't one of them Then when someone with a lot more knowledge gives you some good info don't try to act like you know what your are talking about and tell them there wrong because of some caps and transistors oh and some bs cea-2006 certification Then you will get tons of help Unfortunately your ego (I have no idea why you have one) will prevent you from doing this and we are just a bunch of haters Have you ever had your woofers blown?
