    I come on this board asking some simple questions regarding a new system I got but instead I get one thread locked and a flame fest in this one. If you don’t know the answer then why bother responding? There are plenty of other threads you can respond to while sitting at mommy’s house after a...

    You have no clue how many subs they have made and it goes beyond what they had on their website a few months ago. So what is the exact number? Can you also break it down by model number please? Thanks The sub itself could take the power, took my RF 3k1 at full gain which was done by someone...

    I came up with that conclusion for Rainbow subs after this came back from my search on the forum. Also, I just checked the gain setting tutorial and missed the page where it says “Ignore all of this advice if you are running TC drivers and just crank the gain all the way up”.

    Looking at your avatar, it appears you have the older model.

    My subs are not blown up so apparently my complete inability to set gains is greater than your alleged ability. Oh wait, it was weak tinsel leads and not your improper use of the subs. Right. You seem to have a long string of bad luck when it comes to subs that is only attributable to...

    The search button is a great feature. Since no one will answer my questions, I have been searching and learning. Pretty simple concept.

    I measure output in dBs. He was relating IDMAX to SPL subs. People in SPL competitions use the Termlab or AC as the measuring stick. Did I type that slow enough for you to understand? How do you measure the output of an engine? By which one “feels” faster?

    If he is discussing loud subs then Termlab is the proper means of measuring output. No0b

    Go for it, but don’t get butt hurt when it comes back with an IP address from your mom’s internet provider.

    You actually think that an IDMAX is not known for their output, so back to the short bus for you until you check the Termlab scores on the ID website.

    Shouldn’t you be out blowing up more subs? Seriously, you must spend a fortune on recones. If you learn how to properly use the equipment you won’t be causing thermal or mechanical damage to your drivers.

    Back on topic please. Is there a tutorial on setting gains, crossover and EQ functions on my Alpine 7998 Deck and Macintosh amp? None of the manuals were included.

    Setting gains is “common sense”? So I can walk down any street and ask any random person and they will tell me the proper way to set amplifier gains? And when I say “any street” I mean any street outside of Tennessee as I want to limit the discussion to people with triple digit IQs.
