Setting Gain On Amp - No Load?


Recommended Posts

PERFECT thanks pstone and expo :)) exactly waht i needed and that IS the smae chart i was looking at!!

my dad was like "Matt, listen, it's not seeing a load so it won't work!" obviously this was in the car and he hadn't seen the chart, so now I know since it has the OHMS in it i'm fine :)

yeah i just want to do it right the 1st time!!

so i turn the bass knob ALL THE WAYUP

then set the gain, so if i want less bass i turn the knob down, and it won't clip if i turn it up?

cool cool!!

thanks so much guys

correct with the bass knob. bass on the cd player set to 0, treble set to 0. everything neutral. put the volume at 75-80% of the decks full volume. the remote knob goes all the way up for the exact reason you said, so when you turn it up, it doesnt throw the output voltage from the amp sky high and clip everything to hell and back. with the knob full tilt it should be right around where you adjusted it to.
