Not getting expected volts on subwoofer cables

[Snuskgamer]

When I use my oscilloscope to read the signal I get a voltage of 60 with out clipping. I'm expecting about 70 volts to produce 2500 watt at 2 ohms. I'm using a 40 hz test tone at -0db. My eq is flat and I don't use any bass boost.

When setting gains, the source bass eq must be maxed out. No boost or loudness, just the bass eq.

Really? I did not know that. All that i have seen on the internet that you needed a flat eq.

A flat eq is good for the full range. The sub amp has a remote to control the bass output on demand so a full signal is best for tuning. When setting gain on the sub amp, I do it with the knob 3/4 way for some leeway on sub par songs.

But my amp doesn't have a remote?

What amp do you have. Most have a bass knob input on them, and come with the bass knob and long cable, that you can mount in your car.

You could use a univesal control knob.

If this is your amp. it looks like there is an input for a bass remote. It looks like the input for an ethernet cable. You have to find a remote that works with your amplifier. Not sure if they are universal, but you can reach out to their support or crutchfield.com support. Good luck.
