ok should i set the head unit subwoofer crossover adjustment at max first, ie select say 80hz and then turn it up to +5 and then set the gains on the amp or should the headunit crossover be set in the middle first ie at 0 (I think the range goes from -5 to 0 then up to +5) and when setting the...

ok thanks will try that. the head unit is the Pioneer DEH-P8600MP and has alot of built in filter adjustments for the subwoofer channel (rca's) ranging from 50hz up to 200hz, then there is slope adjustment, bass boost adjustment, loud on/off and fm signal adjustment I have tried experimenting...

sealed boxes

yes there is three adjustments (turn type with small flat screwdriver) one for bass boost, one for gain/input, one for low 55-300hz and one for sub sonic 33-80hz and the rca input switch lp or full. What is the best way to set this up? ie which adjustment first and in which order? there must be...

I have a fusion monoblock which i'm running two 12 kicker comp v'rs. I have a pioneer head unit with the subwoofer rca outputs which i have connected to the monoblock. But the amp has an rca input selection switch which has the option full and lp. I know i should have it on low pass for the subs...

sorry mine is the old kicker c12d model by stillwater design like this, it says here they are svc. so i guess they are. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ele/1524124330.html also here: http://www.audiorama.com.br/kicker/kicker_compVR_d.pdf

ok cheers, so It will be ok if i keep the gain low yeah or get something smaller? Also ive always thought my comp vr's are svc is there an easy way to tell if they are svc or dvc? I'm getting confused as each sub has four spade connectors, two on one side which are joined together and two the...

ok i found one of these it puts out 1000w rms @ 2ohm will i get away with this if i keep the gains turned down or will i blow my subs? http://www.etronics.com/p-1163-alpine-mrd-m1005-v12-digital-mono-amplifier.aspx?Svbname=712

no they are the old comp vr's i got them in 2001 I think

also could anyone post a link to show me the kind of amp i should get?

yeah they are the oldschool comp vr's I will have to check but from what i remember they were something like 400w rms svc. And yes that does sort of answer my question so i need an amp which puts out 800w at 2 ohm from the one 'mono' channel wired in parrallel is that correct?

I just wondered what watt monoblock amp to buy to power two 12'' svc kicker comp 400w 4ohm subs? I understand that i need a 2ohm stable monoblock and to wire them in parrallel. But what i need to know is as i'm using the one channel from the amp should I be looking to buy an amp which is 400w...
