Gain Setting Tutorial

[jharijan]

nah, I don't use a bass remote aside from the bass on my HU but i've heard that once you set the gain its not such a good idea to use that, is that accurate?

another thing I was wondering about is how to accurately set my subsonic and low pass filters. I know that the ss is supposed to be like 5-10 below the frequency of my box but not so sure about the lp. The knobs for both of these are numbered only for high and low but no where in between so I'm not sure how to set it to the exact number. this is what I mean...

So, I'm really kinda confused. You don't want to turn the bass boost up on the amp at all?

so im aiming for 900 rms at one ohm. with a 50 hz test tone should my bass level b at 50 65 or 80 on my deck? next if im right i should see 30.00 on my dmm? i all so heard if u dont have your subs/speakers wired up when you do this the number that you come up with in my case 30.00 will b way off. i would b sending less then 900 more like 600rms or so cuz of the rise you will see when you have your speakers/sub connected to your amp.any truth to that

lets get my question answered

i got 31.4 but that was only at volume 20 or so. most of the time i listen to it at 25-28. i kept geting a nasty buzzing sound if i went louder on my volume. i guess my speakers dont lilke 50hz test tones lol. so i lowered my gain a tad what u guys think? i was tryin to get about 900 rms to my sub.
