David Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 good news. just making sure i wasn't clipping it too bad ... i turned the gain to in between 1/4 and 1/3 now not as loud, but it doesn't get AS stinky AS fast i'ma go take pics, brb did you set the gains correctly? doesnt sound like it if your playin with it. Birthsheet says 1500 + @ 1ohm @ 14.4v's, since he is staying around 14 volts while bumpin the shit out of it then I would assume its close to 1500 rms, no testing done by him, he is still pretty new to all of this. yes the lvl 4 is 1000 watts RMS, no idea what the lvl 5 is rated at. jack pounds his lvl 4s with 1500 each, but Im pretty positive the wall was built for the woofers to have that much power as where I designed this box for 1k.

~digital~bass~ Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 My suggestion is to ask somebody on this forum that lives around you that has an o-scope but if not that a fluke and have them help you set your gains.

Bass4Lyfe Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 yup ..... pics and vid uploading btw... i did set the gains correctly, but that was when iw as hanging around 12v .... now that im' at 14.4 CONSISTENT i have to set them lower i suppose? ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass4Lyfe Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i thought you could ..... via that chart in amplifiers??? ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 no. you set it to your RCA's pre-out voltage. what ever it is, thats where you set it, your misunderstanding the chart, ignore it, it means nothing. find your pre out voltage and set your amp gains to thatand nothing else, for get that other stuff, your making it way to hard for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass4Lyfe Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 okay great thanks for clearing that up for me guys ... my pre out votlage is 2 V ... so how do I set my gains? I'm still new to this, but i have good equipment (IMHO) and good advice here so I know I can get it to work great ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
