Just a heads up, I’m still pretty new to car audio but I’m finding that I really enjoy it and it’s become somewhat of a therapeutic hobby for me, though I’m only working with entry level components right now. Please bear with me.
I put a Kenwood KAC 6202 Amp
(RMS Power Output:
60 Watts x 2 Chan. @ 4 Ohms (CEA-2006)
100 Watts x 2 Chan. @ 2 Ohms (CEA-2006)
200 Watts x 1 Chan. @ 4 Ohms (Bridged)
and a Kenwood KFC W12PS 12 inch sub
(Nominal Impedance: 4 Ω
Peak Power: 1,000 W
Rated Input Power: 250 W)
BRIDGED
in my truck, and I am a little disappointed that it doesn’t hit even 70% of my last setup. I know it’s not a very powerful system at all, but I was running a Sony Xplod 12 with only 50 more watts RMS and an amp with about the same as mine now and you could hear it from inside the house. My first question is: is my current setup compatible in a way that I shouldn’t have many complications? My second question is: how hard can I push the sub and how do I know it’s limits without blowing it out? Maybe it’s just not tuned right? There is no Gain control but there is an input sensitivity and a high/low pass filter. I have the low pass on about 75 and the sensitivity at .5. I literally have no clue how to tune it. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
