    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    Well i toyed around with it a little today, and i was unable to find any sort of setting for subwoofer lvl besides the on/off. I pulled the subs out of the box to check to see how they were wired. Am i wired 1 Ohm? I have my subs in a center ported box, terminals on each side of the box...

    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    Thats been a huge question on mine, but i havent found a sub adjustment, just an on/off. I downloaded the manual, but it doesnt say anything about sub adjustments. just lpf/hpf, sub on/off

    Yes, the HU subwoofer option is on. By turning up the lpf, got me to my correct voltage that i was looking for, but im still having an issue with output. I am not getting much output from the woofers at all... My electrical is staying right at 14.7 volts, all my connections are clean and tight...

    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    Ok guys, quick update. I just got back in from the garage. Now correct me if im wrong, but when you are setting input voltage, you turn everything to flat/0 right? I have hpf/lpf on headunit flat with volume at 25 (0-35 max), all my amplifier settings at flat/0, bass knob plugged into amp...

    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    Ok, cool. Well ima run out to the garage now and see what happens. I also just looked up my head unit, and from the info iv gathered it has 4v preouts, so i should be setting that switch on the amplifier to 2v-8v?

    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    I previously was running a Soundstream VIR-8300NR, but someone i had spoke with on this forum said that may have been my issue. So i swapped out my VIR-8300NR with an older alpine i had laying around that i pull out of my last car before i sold it.... HU= Alpine CDA-9830

    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    Sorry for confusion, I turned lpf all the way down only to set the gain. I previously had to it to approx. 80hz on the amp and same on HU. And still not getting much output. Prior to the system, i was running a SS Rubi 1.2500 and a Sundown Nightshade 15, in my old tiburon and running a...

    Adjusting Input Voltage Confusion *SS Rubicon 1.2500*

    Ok, Thanks man. Im literally making the adjustments as we speak. How do i know/find out what my preout V is? Yes, the switch on my amp is .1v-2v/2v-8v. Previously i had set the switch to 2v-8v, but i am trying to reach 49-50 volts, for the 2500 rms rating, but at 2v-8v i can only adjust the...

    Best Amplifier application for my American Bass XFL's

    That may very well be an option in the near future, but honestly i am really hoping to work out my tuning issue with some fellow caraudio members to make my current amplifier work. After speaking with many people, the information i have gathered is that the amplifier isnt the problem, its the...
