setting gains (thank you DECAF)


Recommended Posts

jesus christ kid will you just listen to the info that everyone is freaking telling you.

i had to take a deep breathe too

the subs voicecoils when wired to the amp + and - will read a specific resistance in ohms due to the voicecoil coppers wire thickness and length (among other aspects)

Lets ask this question!!!!!

How does the amp know what the resistance (a.k.a ohms) is going to be once you connect the subs.

omg are u serial

it doesnt know... its phyics... depending on how the voicecoil is made it has anything from .35ohms of resistance up to 32ohms of resistance like in headphones

this is resistance to power...

example:

give speaker 10 watts at 1 ohm

give same speaker 10 watts at 8 ohms.... which one will be quieter?... the one with more resistance to the same power

You don't need the subs connected because the math compensates for the resistance you will be putting on the amp...

Thanks for being calm and I guess thats why they call you DECAF and helping me figure this out.

For a second I thought you were going to go ESPRESSO on my ass!!!

And I think I got this you are setting the gain for an ohm load thats not present but is known, so you will know what you are looking for.

OK next question for today.
