Theone63 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I just made the switch to a ported box its much louder than the sealed but i think it can be even more louder if i set my gain a little higher. ive heard stories of that you gain damage your drivers if u set your gain to high in a ported box. The question is, it safe to turn the amp level up a tad bit from the half way mark ?

deeje Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Get a dmm and set your gains you might need it past the halfway mark you might not but you won't eff your subs from your gain bein to high Quote --2004 Toyota 4runner New Build Log -2002 Acura Tl-S Old Build Log Team DC Audio spl dust is an option you can get on the coils... it's great for extra 1000 watts of power where can i get this spl dust and how much is it. is it hard to apply? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I wouldn't touch the gain if it's set correctly. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeje Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 No I'm saying like not have it high enough to do that like he won't have it to high to eff them if he sets it right.

Guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 No I'm saying like not have it high enough to do that like he won't have it to high to eff them if he sets it right. there is absolutely no way to know if you're clipping unless you use an oscilloscope. some amps you can have the gain up 1/8th and get full power, some you would need to turn it up almost all the way. all depends on the headunit.
