banginAltima Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Easy way..... If you can smell them (badly), turn it down. Or if your cone is hot.... Right way.... Set your amp gain with a volt meter at a set volume and don't go over that volume. Edited December 2, 2008 by banginAltima Quote If you build it, db's will come...

Daddy_ Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Also it depends on what kind of head unit you have and whats the top volume on it. I usually listen below half way Quote Car: 2012 Acura TL Elite Head Unit: JL Audio Fix86 Front Stage : Alpine SPX-17PRO Rear Stage : Alpine SPR-60C Component Amp : JL Audio HD 600/4 Sub : 1 12" JL Audio W7 Sub Amp : JL Audio HD 1200
Boon Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 How long is a piece of string? I'm sure my DD 95's can be turned up a lot louder than a $10 flea-market sub without blowing That's like asking how fast can your car go safely, and not telling us what your car is. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

Boon Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 O-Scope I hope you're not serious (like most of the people in this thread) With an o-scope I can get together 8kw of clean power but does that mean it's safe for my sub? Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
