AP 1800 Louder then saz 3000d..Why?

[-BenBen-]

i had the gain on the audiopipe at 1/4 - 2/4 sometimes, i dont have a oscope but i just listen for distortion. well on my saz, the **** thing does not even get that loud at 50% gain. running at 1 ohm, and i wonder what could be the problem.

[itsblown]

the gain could sitll not be high enough on the saz and you could be clipping on the ap... or theres some kind of magic involved

i have a stock cd player in a g6, but i assumed that most people only set the gain to about 1/4 cause thats what i was told. you dont go past 1/4 most of the time.

the problem is you need to trade for my memphis 4kw................... lol

sounds kind of odd. you sure your wired to 1ohm?

Who fixed the amp

Not the most accurate, it varies amp to amp, even 2 of the same exact amps in the same exact car hooked up the exact same could have their max gain level before clipping be at a different spot. I havve seen an aq amp not start clipping until the gain knob was around 90%. that doesn't make it a better amp it's just how it calibrated.

autosound. it was 2 of the things that blew, forgot what they were called. said it wasnt bad at all and only costed 120 to fix. 20$ parts 90$ labor lmao

Gains setting vary greatly from one amp to the next some are made for high volt inputs then they would set low but a cheap amp may not accept but say a 4v input so it would appear to be set low in that instance, basically turn your gain up preferably with a dmm hooked up!

I bet more is damaged in it should have replaced all fets.

I dont see why anyone is jumping to conclusions saying the amp is faulty when the gains arent even set correctly

i was kind of thinkn the same thing

Man i wish i had a **** tool to set the gains. i dont even know anybody in the city that does. they all claim to do it by ear

Somethings very wrong here.

$5 dmm can tell you a lot about what's going on. See what kind of acv it's making.

Why power and ground were reversed amp went pop then it was plugged up like 2 more times at least 2 fets went pop who knows howmany more are hurting and all that was damaged was a couple things I wonder.
