An increase in voltage is also associated with an increase in amperage, which exponentially affects power. Think of it like water pressure: If you double the water pressure coming out of a hose, you'll also get more flow at that higher pressure. Simpler way, that takes into account manufacturing error of the amplifier: Note: Use this only if you don't have access to an oscope/dd-1. It's very dirty.. But better than doing it by some other arbitrary metric, or by doing spreadsheets (especially if the amp in question is over-rated) 1. Play a square wave at max gain (please disconnect your drivers). This will measure the peak to peak voltage of your amp - i.e. the rail voltage. Let's say... You measure 60v. 2. Turn everything down/off. Take that number you just got, and convert to RMS voltage by dividing by sqrt(2). So you'd take 60v/sqrt(2) = 42v 3. Play a sine wave at your desired amplitude (say -5db) and turn the gain up on your amp until your output voltage is 42v. Don't get excited and go higher - that's just clipping. 4. Hook your equipment back up I get it now I own a dd1+ tho so I just needed to add that to my knowledge bank 06 Charger Pioneer double din Pioneer 6.5 and 6×9's Knukoncept Krystal kable rca's 0 ga knukoncept kolossus wire Big 3 same wire ^ 1 run 8g karma ss speaker wire Sundown sia 3500d at 1ohm 2 Sundown U series 12's Duralast platinum agm H7 (Main) Xs power d3400 Trying to find a ho alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infektid Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 dont look at your gain and say " its only partialy up, i need it half way " and clip the hell outta the subs. its a GAIn control, not a VOLUME knob. just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16jkur Posted October 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 So turn up the gain til it clips, then lower it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
