PUNKYOU007 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i searched and cannot find where any of the "setting you gain totourials" show how to set the amp if you are bridging. i will be using an o-scope to set my gains but how do i do it using a 2 channel amp. i have two gain controls. do i set each channel individually? do i hook the oscope up bridged? if so how do i get each gain to be equal? i read a couple threads on how to set the gains but i must be missing this part. i have always done it by ear with great success but now that i am running two alts and my input voltage is higher and more stable i want to make sure the subs are not clipping.

PUNKYOU007 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 RF amp manual This is the only pic i have right now. if you look to the right of the RCA you can see the gain for the right channel, on the other side of the RCA is the gain for the left.

tacomabanga1986 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 ive never heard of a 2ch amp with 2gains? you sure its a gain? umm lol i unno man, just try to set each side the best u can but i unno cause when you bridge it might throw it off, i unno, set the voltage while u got it bridged n see what u get, take a screw driver n turn each of em at the same time i guess?

PUNKYOU007 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 well there are two pots and one says "left gain" and the other "right gain" and that exactly how i felt, the whole turn one a little and the other a little but whats the point of trying to be exact if i do that?/? im lost i picked up an oscope and a power supply for $150 and now i can use them lol Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.

ISO Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 a 2ch amp has 1gain for each channel, a 4ch has 2 for the 4 channels, 1 for 2 and 1 for the other 2, 1 gain controles both stereo channels u may be thinkin bout the lpf?and bridgeing works the same way as 2ch stereo just most 2channels can be bridged to 2ohm mono or 4ohm mono LOL heres a man that hasn't owned any good ole RF punch amps. I hate amps that have sperate gain controls when I need them bridged. The first thing I would do is use your O-scope and go ahead and do you left and right gains seperatly. Then I would hook the scope up to the amp in the bridged configureation and see what your scope says. I think you should close enough to clipping that it should be acouple tiny taps on each of the gains if you want it perfect. That should get you in the ballpark. Let me know how it works out as I didn't have an O-scope to use when I set up my old RF punch amps. Quote Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.
