    Part 1: 1ohm amp load to two dvc 4ohm subs how is wattage affected? Part 2: Would I use 1ohm or 4 ohms when using ohms law to set my gain?

    Ok thanks and yeah I get a little carried away sometimes, I like to over explain and give more then enough information. That's why I do the TLDR otherwise people get annoyed. Anyway thanks that helped clear some things up and gave me peace of mind. Something else that concerns me is the heat and...

    Setting gain on amp with multimeter

    Update: I re tuned my door speaker amp at 1000hz and it helped a lot. There was still some weird differences at some frequencies but for the most part the front and the back channels werent that far off from eachother. That actually helped solve a few other problems, like before, the higher...

    Setting gain on amp with multimeter

    I looked into some more aftermarket head units for my car and they are really difficult to find and I don't want to spend $500+ on a new head unit that looks janky and has like 1 review. I really want to know your opinion is or anyones on a DSP have you ever used one, do you think that, that's a...

    Setting gain on amp with multimeter

    Yeah I'll look into that some more the main issue is I have a 2015 mustang base audio system and the head unit is built into the panel with the ac and the start button and a lot of stuff so aftermarket support is kind of **** and expensive

    The amp has a two built in crossovers for front and back but I had them off and I had the balance and fade off on my head unit as well

    Setting gain on amp with multimeter

    Ok I will try that my speakers are 4ohm but I will tune it at 1khz and probably leave it. I just don't want to damage my amp because it's play a redardedly high voltage on the back speakers, but it's new so if this issue is the amp I can return it and get my money back still

    Setting gain on amp with multimeter

    Yeah I didn't read it over to make sure it was clear lol thanks, but seriously I don't know if my amp is bad or what could cause this. Maybe my wiring, but I know that my speakers aren't out of phase or anything but I was thinking that maybe the possitive and negative wires that go into my loc...

    Part 1: 1ohm amp load to two dvc 4ohm subs how is wattage affected? Part 2: Would I use 1ohm or 4 ohms when using ohms law to set my gain?

    Part 1 TLDR: My question: I bought two 400w rms DVC 4ohm subs. I have a 800w at 1 ohm stable amp. If I wire the subs to a 1 ohm final load on the amp, that should mean that the amp is putting out 800 watts in total, but wouldn't the 4ohm resistance from the subs them self reduce that 800w to...

    Setting gain on amp with multimeter issues with voltage? plz help

    TLDR: Today I was setting the gain on my with a multimeter, I calculated that to hit 50w rms I need to tune the amp to 14.1v I played a 200hrz sine wave and set both gains for the front speakers and the back speakers to 14.1v I changed the frequency and noticed that my front speakers seemed...

    Add an extra sub or get a new LOC?

    Yes that's what I did it completely solved my problem supper fast and easy. But properly diagnosing it was hard. So I would google things like engine noises in car audio system and I wouldn't find the right stuff. I mean I might now knowing what I need to look for. But I didn't find anything on...

    Add an extra sub or get a new LOC?

    Well yes but actually no. I recomend you go to my other thread that I just posted where I explain why it blew. It wasn't from me not knowing what I'm doing Like I initially thought https://www.caraudio.com/threads/engine-noises-in-aftermarket-sound-system.603847/

    Engine Noises in aftermarket sound system

    Initial Problem: So I drive a 2015 S550 mustang ecoboost manual with the base sound system (4 **** door woofers, 2 tweeters, no sub, no factory amp). I completely redid the sound system I replaced the 4 stock speakers with some nice midrange ones and added a sub. I did this on my own and...
