Mr.Lahey Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Being new to car audio, i don't understand what "gain overlap" really means, -10db, -5db, 0db ? What is the best way to tune my system with my DD-1? And what settings should i set all my dials in the amp? This is my first time using this and I don't want to misunderstand steps from the manual. 2sundowns U12 D4 wired at 1ohm Skar rp4500 amp LC2I ACR1 (bass knob) for LC2I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshdashef Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Think of overlap as allowing you to set your gains higher with a negative overlap because the signal coming from your radio is -5 or -10 dbs lower than at original 0 db source volume. Music is dynamic so the purpose is to allow you to get more out of your amp with music A moderate amount is -5db so you should be fine with that, or go with a higher one and just pay attention to how your sub sounds / smells.
