thehoe92 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 oh and for your gain settings don't just flip it to 3/4 and call it good. there is a sticky in the amplifier section IIRC that tells you how to set it.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Hey guys. I got an Alpine Type R 2ohm dvc and a 2 channel Kenwood KAC-X20 amp. I've been trying to figure out how to wire the type r so i get a 2 ohm load to my amp. Currently i just have each voice coil wired to each channel on the amp. Please help!!!!! Or is this the right way to wire it? Also i have my gain about 3/4 max and i smell the subwoofer when i bang. The woofer is 500 rms 1500 max. My amp is 260 x 2 @ 2 ohm rms. Do i smell it only because it is brand new or do i need to turn down the gain? Will a Bass Knob cancel out the gain control on the amp if installed? PLEASE HELP!!!!! AHHHHHHHH! According to your info, your pushing 520 RMS to a sub designed for 500 RMS and your gain is "About 3/4 max". you didn't properly set your amp. Use this: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ost&p=62427 To set your amp. I'll do the math for you. Use a DMM set to AC voltage, play a test tone (I can't remember which frequency) and turn the gain up till your DMM hits 31.62 volts. EDIT: play a 50Hz test tone with all settings on the HU and amp set to flat and start the gain at the minimum.

Belvy83 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 To the OP, what HERRIE I think was trying to tell you was that maybe you should change your "TOPIC" to say something more like "Question on wiring amp" as that might appeal to more people to help you out................. not HELP!!!
