How does one do that? Do you mean connect one to plus, negative correctly and then connect the other to plus, negative oppositely?

I've noticed my tweeters seem to sound harsh when I get up to highway speeds. I have Focal IS130s (5 1/4" , mid + tweeter w/ built in cross over.) Because the crossover is built in, there's really no way change the crossover point on the components I don't think. The tweeters are mounted at...

I've heard a few different ideas for the settings on the HU when setting gains. It's generally preferred to have your volume at 75%, no bass boost, no EQ, no crossover, etc. However, would it make sense to have your EQ and bass boost set while setting your gains for the first time if this is...

Ok well it looks like I'll return the BA GTA-802 and buy a new amp.. Any suggestions on a good cheap (

Is there a difference in sound quality from AB amps compared to D amps? Particularly when it comes to subwoofers.

0 dB test tone? Can you explain what that is? I thought test tones only are constant frequencies.

Walmart probably sells them for cheaper than that. Can I buy just any dmm? Or should I look for one with a certain setting/function?

What is a dmm?

I sure hope I didn't damage the amp... The way I set the gain was the following: 1. Turn the gain on the amp to the minimum value. 2. Turn the volume up on the head unit playing a 40 hz tone until I hear clipping from the sub.. The way I determined if it was clipping was if the pitch seemed to...

Ok here's an update. I checked the ground. The washer that was on the bottom of the bolt holding the bracket to the chasis was actually made of paper! So after realizing that, I moved the ground wire to a new bolt with an actual metal washer (sanded off the paint on both the washer and on the...

With regards to gain, when it's bridged, I can hear it clip at 21 (out of 35) on my HU.. With it unbridged, it clips at 25. It is a Class AB amp. I know that D amps are more efficient and put out less heat.. But this series of amps does not come in class D. If it is bad ground, what can I do...

Ok guys here's the deal. Perhaps I was a moron buying a 2 channel amp and bridging it to run one subwoofer rather than buying a mono block... If so, I give all of you permission to call me a *******. With that said, let me continue. I just bought a Boston Acoustics GTA-802 (80W RMS x 2 @ 4...

Well I'm really looking forward to being able to do high pass on my 6x9s, and dedicated low pass on the subwoofer. That'll sound really good I'm guessing. The sub is rated for 200W RMS at 4 ohms.. the amp like I said earlier, is rated at 260W RMS at 4 ohms (that's 2 channel bridged). So the amp...

Yea it's a Boston Acoustics GTA-802. 30A fuse rating. 80W RMS x 2. The sub I'm interested in is a 10 in JL Audio CS110-WXv2.. It already comes in an enclosure. I know what some of y'all are thinking... I'm wasting my money by buying an already enclosed subwoofer... But I'd rather just try it. It...

Sorry about that.. I was asking, can I essentially take another 8ga power cable with a ring terminal and connect it on the post exactly the same way as the original amp? Basically, stacking the two ring terminals together on the positive battery terminal. Is that possible? Or is there...
