Thanks for everyones opinions. I guess it shouldn't be too big of a problem but, ill refrain from handing my set of keys to people in the future from now on. The shop I went to isn't sketchy at all and it's lisenced by our provinces insurance company to do insurance claim work, so it should be...

I recently got some stuff installed by a local car audio shop for an insurance claim and they asked for my keys which I gave them. Later I realized, since they have my address, I probably shouldn't have given them my entire set of keys but only the single car key. I've tried Googling many...

I've set the subsonic to the formula, subsonic = 0.75*Fb. lpf to 80hz, being that the frequency for localization ends around there. Bassboost to +10db Gain is where I am now having trouble at. I've turned it down to 3/4. @everyone with the dmm suggestion I have a dmm but after watching...

What does clipping sound like? I've searched this so many times and I haven't been able to find a good example. My gain is currently at 100%, should I make it lower? I was thinking 1000W amp and 1000W sub would mean it will be able to be at 100% power.

I don't think I'm very good at listening to distortion. I've always turn bass up till this loud metal on metal bottoming out sound on other systems before I know to turn it lower. I'm planning on having it professionally tuned but the shop keeps delaying me. It's been 2 weeks already and I have...

I did google it but, it's really complicated and confusing. Since this is a pretty popular subwoofer and amp, both from the same brand and same RMS wattage, I'm sure someone on here has the same set up as me and know the correct settings.

What settings should I use for the amp and sub which are both 1000W RMS.

Well, it seems that the general consensus was that it would sound terrible and there might be eventual damage to the drivers, which I had stated in the beginning that it would be acceptable. Sounding terrible, that's obviously something I can try and find out and I did. It didn't sound terrible...

Really? I've been told by many people Alpine PDX amps are pretty much the best amps and on Alpine's site they say that the internals of the PDX are in the MRX. I've also read online with 2 people saying that Alpine PDX amps are "the Rolls Royce of amps". Wouldn't that make my MRX the BMW 760i of...

Well that's true, but I'm quite familiar with the sound of the Type-R and I would have to say it's fairly similar. Just a bit less powerful. Or at least, I am incapable of hearing a big difference in sound quality which is all the same anyways. The lower impedance was what I was thinking too but...

I don't have that tool or anyone that I know have it. Could I do something like that with just a multi meter? So, could you explain how it would cause harm to the amp? I'm not aware of any over-driving or distortion from the amp. As far as the amp knows, it would just be sending a clean...

Ah, I see. So you guys are basically saying, it's a high end amp built to perform very well at specifically 2ohm. Other cheaper amps can perform decently at a wider range of ohms but, not as good as the Alpine at 2ohm. Right? An analogy being like how a high end diamond saw can cut stone easily...

Oh no, you and your over simplified answers which give no real useful information I guess this is really more of a question for the manufacturer or designer of the amp as it requires knowledge of the inner workings :l

Spectral energy is just the energy within a specific spectrum or range of frequencies, which should still be higher at higher frequencies if I understood the definition correctly. I searched it up and I think I know where you're getting at. Human hearing is less sensitive to bass frequencies...

A 10,000 lumen stable flood light with sufficient power can only safely produce 10,000 lumens of light. A 10,000 lumen stable flood light and 2* 500 lumen flashlights with sufficient power can safely produce 11,000 lumens of light. 11,000 lumen is brighter than 10,000 lumen.
