Input Sensitivity?


mtxcivic07

Recommended Posts

I have had my input sensitivity on on my MTX 7801 Amp at 10x since I have owned it. I have an Alpine CDA-9847 CD player. On MTX's site it says to keep it at 1x when you have an aftermarket CD Player for sufficient voltage feed, but it is not loud at all when it is on 1x and when it is on 10x it over heats after about 10 minutes of play at full tilt.. what should I do? what do you guys keep yours at?

18's in a wall to come....Its not all about the posts....check the member #...

well i am not sure what 1x and 10x is in regards to the input sensitivity cause most amps use a number ie .1 thru 5. volts for input sensitivity.

Some people need a sympathetic pat... on the head...with my hammer

1x is 100mV-1V

10x is 1V-10V

10x is 1V-10V

Mine is the same way as you man, it's a lot quieter on 100mV than 1v+

R those the only two levels for adjustment? I mean most amps have a variable knob adjustment that u can adjust anywhere in between those two points

How about the HU? Is there a menu to select line-output voltage/strength possibly?

You are supposed to match the input sensitivity to the voltage of the preouts on the h/u.

A couple links to some box builds:

Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI,

Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150

My own car builds (current setup --- under construction):

Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors

Subwoofer Wall
