Bass4Lyfe Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Okay this is the last question thread before I get pics/vids of bumping promise 1) The RF T1K has 2 sets of speaker connections. I use the left one correct? 2) I know I should have the bass knob up all the way when setting gains tomorrow morning - what do I do with the knob on the right? From 35 to 70 Hz? What is this even for and what should I keep it a? 3) Is it okay to bump for a day with the amp not secured down? 4) What if I don't know which RCA is left and right :) is that okay or does it matter? Thank you so much .... experienced users only please - I need this before 9 AM tomorrow.

Thank SO MUCH I will flood the forum with pics/vids tomorrow 1) Either one, they're internally paralleled. 2) Don't know. 3) I'd assume it wouldn't be the safest thing to do. 4) Don't think it'd matter since subwoofers are mono.

Thank you so much .... experienced users only please - I need this before 9 AM tomorrow. Thank SO MUCH I will flood the forum with pics/vids tomorrow 1. Either one will work 2. Personally i keep my bass knob to 0 and turn up my gain accordingly, you can turn your bass knob up a bit but i wouldnt turn up the bass knob all the way to set the gains. Try and find like a happy medium without any distortion then back it off just a tad. Not the proper way to set the gain but works fine if done ok. The knob on the right im assuming is the bass frequency cutoff. If so any Hz above what you set it at the bass will be filtered out. I would set it closer to 70 but thats up to you. 3. I would say yes, being a decently heavy amp i highly doubt the amp will be jumping around so i wouldnt worry about it. If its in your trunk just be careful your box cant slide into. 4. Not sure if i understand your question, either one will work fine, although sometimes amps will require you to split the rca's to input in all the channels for the total power but i doubt that amp will needs that. Also it cant hurt to play around with it, it cant hurt to try every configuration possible and see which works best.

Bass4Lyfe Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 thanks bro!! good advice, although i really thought that you were supposed to have the knob all the way up when setting gains ..o well thx!!!!! ~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...
audiofanaticz Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 2) I know I should have the bass knob up all the way when setting gains tomorrow morning - what do I do with the knob on the right? From 35 to 70 Hz? What is this even for and what should I keep it at? The left knob is the level of the bass boost. The right knob is the freq/hz of the bass you are boosting any where from 0 to 18 db of boost according to how your left knob is set. and yes when setting the gain, and you are using bassboost, try to set your gain with the bass boost at your desired level, this way when you turn it up, it will not clip the signal/amp/sub(s). So if your wanting full bass boost your gain will not be up as far as if you where having almost no bass boost which would give you a higher gain setting.
