I only have a 360 watt amp 4 ohm. this scope should handle my needs ok shouldn't it?

ok i have another question. I just set the deck to +10 out of 15. Set my gains and sounds good. Now if i play a song that has very little bass and i want it to have a little more, if i turn it up passed +10 does that mean im sending a clipped signal even though its a very low bass song?

i hate to dig up an old thread like this but I was wondering if the original poster or anyone for that matter has tried this o-scope? I ran across it on ebay as well by accident and then found this thread.....lol being such a cheap price i was somewhat skeptical. Will this work for setting gains?

And I guess that is really my dilemma. Is the sub level setting on a Kennwood Excelon deck an attenuator from +15 on down, or is 0 considered the “starting point” ??? Any other Excelon users may be able to shed some light on this? If 0 is the starting point than that would mean it is “boosting”...

I have a question regarding setting up my sub amp. I have a Kennwood deck. The subwoofer setting goes from –15 to +15 . What should this setting be at before messing with the gain on the sub amp? I currently have it set at +15 and my amp gain is around half way. I purposely did it this way so I...

Ok, i went down to the only local stereo shop here in town and talked to the owner. He's been installing for 20 yrs so I hope i can trust his opinion. He said that an amp to run the 4 speakers wouldn't really draw a whole heck of alot since its gonna be set with the high pass filters on anyway...

Ok here is what I got. Idle with nothing on I got 14.28.......... Idle with music as loud as I normally listen and headlights and ac running I got 12.6....... at 2000 rpms I got 13.85 with all that stuff running. So what do you all think?

Im going out in a little bit to check it with a dmm. Im not sure what i am looking for but will report back my findings. Does anyone know about how many amps does a MB Quart DSC480 draw?

I have a 2000 civic. I am currently running a bridged Total Mobile Audio amp to 2 12 in subs. 360 watts rms. Sounds good and now I want to add a 4 channel to the setup. I am trying to avoid running into problems with my alternator and low power issues. My stock alternator is 70 amp I believe...

I have a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X491 head unit. Pioneer Premier TS-A643P speakers for the doors. They are 6 ½ inch 4 ohm 50 watt rms 280 watt max. Rear speakers are 6 x 9 Alpine 4 ohm SPG-69C2 75 watt rms 300 watt max. I’m looking for a decent amp to run these. Nothing earth shattering. I’m not...

or a bolt of lightning......

Ah that makes sense. Thanks for the info. I just set it just right before the peak measurement. Peaks at 36 so I set it at 35.9 I hear no distortion and it sounds pretty good so I will just leave it at that.

Total Mobil Audio t360 2 channel bridged acccording to the specs is says 360 watts

I was messing with the gain on my sub amp with a dmm tool. I realize some people dont like to use a dmm for setting gain but i was just curious what mine was doing. Anyway, at 3/4 gain I get 35.9 on dmm. Now my amp is supposed to be rated 360 at 4 ohm. so according to the formula i come up with...

yes it has enough pre outs. I just thought with the 4 ch amp I wouldnt have to turn the headunit as high and in turn that would decrease the amount of power sent to the sub amp. Sorry for the noob questions. Just startin to learn about this stuff.
