OldsBoomer Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 how deep is that port? and that might be a little big so dont be gain happy while setting the amp. also i dno if you know this or not but dont use bass boost and set your sub sonic filter to about 25hz Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not turning it up? I did not know that im just starting out haha. Thanks for the help. if you turn the "gain" up to high on the amp you will clip the signal causing the amp to send a "square" wave to the sub instead of a nice smooth sine wave. Clipping=dirty power and blown sub Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kool3453 Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Ah yes. I need to get a meter to see where my amp starts clipping but from what I've read they are way goo expensive :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldsBoomer Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 To do it right you need an O-scope and yes they can be expensive. The next best way is to use a DMM and watch the AC voltage from your output on your amp to roughly tune your amp for its "rated" power Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
