Have 2 10's and love them.

Personally I'd go with option number 1 but thats just that way I have always done it. I guess it really does not matter.

There is no bass boost on the amp.

Oh its plenty loud but not amp loud. I normally don't go above 30 and when I do its just when I want to show off a little but never for even a full song. So should I disconnect the speakers from the HU and then test? Wouldn't that increase the Volts coming out of my amp? OK last...

The birth sheet shows 412watts RMS @14.4v with 66.6%ef. So I figured around 400rms is a good amount for the 14.1V my car can provide and that is where I got my 28.2 target gain setting. The peek Watts is 1200+ but that number really offers no real world specs from what I understand.

Why? It sounds fine. My subs are not clipping at all and are VERY loud. The preout voltage is only 1.9 which is not high at all. Why would I need a new HU?

Thanks guys. The HU really isn't that loud. Its only putting out 18wRMS per speaker so 40/40 is not that loud and that is why I wanted to set the gain while at 40/40. There is no bass boost on the HU and its only at #2 bass but since the HU goes by 2's its really +1 bass. I can turn up the gain...

I decided I was going to set the gain correctly on my amp using that tutorial above. Here are the specs RF Punch 325.1, mono (400w RMS @2ohms) 2 kicker 07CVR02's (2ohms draw from amp) Panasonic hu (1.9V from RCA each) 14.1V to the amp from battery I did the math and came up with 28.2V...

OOOOOOO..... I like your amp;)

It all depends. Are you going to run one sub or more than one off the amp? Are they dual voice coil subs or single? Yes the idea is to get the most out of your amp by matching your subs to the lowest ohms your amp is rated at. There are many factors that go into selecting the right subs for your...

Its a little small for a 12 . Kicker says min 1cf. I don't know much about heat but I would like a little more then 5/16" space between my sub and MDF but, on the other hand all older subs never had a vent hole and worked fine so blocking it might not do any damage if you stick to the RMS...

I just bought a new Pan HU and I like it but It does not sound as nice as the Eclipse HU I replaced it with. If I had to buy everything (HU, speakers) again I would buy Eclipse. I'm thinking I may just do that at the end of the year. The SQ of Eclipse was just outstanding. Check out this HU...

Where did you buy it? You can also try trading with someone on the boards.

4ohm - 200 Watts x 2 2ohm - 400 Watts x 2 4ohm bridged - 800 Watts x 1 Peek - 2400 watts http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/scripts/rightnow.cfg/php.exe/enduser/fattach_get.php?p_sid=9YhTVvGi&p_tbl=9&p_id=303&p_created=1083265780

Here is what I did to my 98 Maro and got to keep the trunk too. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=244908&highlight=camaro To be honest any more then 400 watts RMS in a camaro just squashes out headunit powered speakers and my box isn't even ported. I have my subs turned down too.
