    Amp going into protection mode

    LPF is for subwoofers. HPF is to protect your speakers from too much bass. Only use the 1x setting. You're basically removing ALL of the music in 10x mode. Leave it at 1x and put it about 1/4 of the way up. You really only need that to protect your speakers from outputting low bass. Turn LPF...

    Amplifier goes into protect - ONLY when playing 60-65hz

    Replacing it would be ideal, as the subs can take 750-800 in a good sealed box (which I have). I'm also not a fan of the 9701's lack of a sub-sonic filter, considering they are 10" subs. Even with the X-over at 80, it still happens. I believe it's probably a setting on my head unit, just...

    Amplifier goes into protect - ONLY when playing 60-65hz

    They're SWR-10D4 subs in parallel-parallel. Nominal impedance at the connection terminal reads 1.1Ω. I believe it's probably a setting on my head unit, just haven't had a chance to test it yet. I have bass boost off, but I read that there's a setting in the EQ menu that adds +3db to 62.5hz, on...

    Hi, help me on amplifier and subwoofer things

    You can't really set it to a specific wattage. What head unit do you have? Find out the pre-amp RCA voltage. Most amp gain knobs are based off of the pre-amp input voltage. What subs are you using? (size and model number) What are the dimensions/parameters of your enclosure? (sealed or ported...

    After Market speakers (triton) sound way too harsh

    Curious about the end result. My Alpine silk domes flattened greatly after about a month. Did you keep them, and did it get better?

    HARSH MUSIC

    Disclaimer - I am not a sound tech, nor do I practice medicine. Hard rock and Symphony orchestra tend to be the most difficult genres to reproduce at high volume. Any music that relies on a precise reproduction of harmonics is going to sound harsh/off at high volume (in a car). Cars make for a...

    Amplifier goes into protect - ONLY when playing 60-65hz

    Best example I can give: The hills by The weeknd. The song's chorus has three long bass notes that get progressively lower. My amp goes into protect on the highest (first), recovers, and slams everything else without a hitch. Search and rescue by Drake is another. Voltage does not fall under...
