tbeats Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 So going to be setting gain on a RF t1500bdcp on two RF P315d2 so 2ohm at the amp. Subs have a RMS of 600 each box is sealed 2.5 cube per sub. Being that amp is doing over rms what would be the best gain over lap to set the amp with?

tbeats Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 We went with track 3 -5db the subs still sound a little weak the past owner of the subs and box had them on a punch 1000bd at 1ohm , the t1500bdcp says 1500 at 2ohm so would going on up to say -7.5db or -10 db be the best bet or use the punch boost on the amp? We played with the boost some and it hit as good as the subs did on the 1000 punch but always here dont use boost . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I would wire lower myself. Your not making any power at 2ohm nominal. SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Wire it down to 1 ohm before you change the gains. No Boost.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbeats Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Can only wire to 2ohm or half ohm with the current subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cp models say make same power at 2ohm so I'm confused myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbrassard Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Ya it might. Then change to -10 db and see if you like that better. Subs will handle it as long as it's clean. And you are comparing the set up to the vehicle it was in to what you put it in currently? Remember that there will be a acoustical change from say an SUV to a trunk set up. The subs will perform and sound different from vehicle to vehicle. Nature of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in a 05 Chevy trail blazer now in an 09 jeep Cherokee same box just different amp better more powerful amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you wont see 2ohm due to impedance rise (reactive load). Dont mess with gain or boost, leave it where its at, and wire to .5ohm. Half ohm with -5dB overlap, start volume low and slowly increase to make sure you dont push the subs past mechanical limits.
