I have a DMM, but that was the problem, I never could figure out the life of me how to work it (even checked in on here on instructions) so I ended up trying to set it by ears and had a neighbor/friend set it with me by ear too. Guess that didnt work too well.

Also question, does adding an iPod Shuffle to my head unit change anything head-unit wise/volts wise? Bc I definitely notice a huge increase in volume when I leave it on my usual 30-35 on the head unit and the iPod on max (theres no volume indicator) which is why when I play it on max, it probably added more exessive gain/voltage? So now I cant figure out where to set my volume on my head unit at with my iPod playing at max. Hmm.

The ipod is giving an entirely different signal as compared to the HU.

Therefore, it could have easily caused the amplifier to send out a clipped signal... especially if it was maxed out.

volume of the ipod shouldnt impact how loud it is comming through your hu if thats what your asking?

atleast mine doesnt

Wouldnt you want those arrogant assholes who know more than everyone elseto be the ones giving advise instead of some random kid who says his Hifonics 1606d does 'x' amount of power without having done some sort of benchtest?

I'd take the assholes anyday, cause when it boils down to it...they're right, and your wrong.

Oh my god, blind leading the blind here... some people should just not give advice.

yea. but people dont have to be dickheads because someone answered something wrong. if they can respectfully help someone, why cant they be respectfull and tell someone they were wrong instead of calling them retards, etc. and why dont u show me proof that the 1606d does 1600 @ 1ohm.

Very true there, I'd figured that. Do you have any idea where to point me to, or possibly help me out how to figure out where I should set my iPod volume to (since its a Shuffle, dont know where the volume is set at ever)? Like, a certain amount of clicks starting at 0/none or just keep doing the volume on head unit at 30-35 with the iPod maxed out..?

PS: Im using an iPod bc its an easier alternative to scratchy/skipping cd's and holds more songs.

and how was i wrong? i have no test equipment here, but i took it to my audio shop and they testted it. dont know with what.. and it was in between 1200 and 1300 at 1 ohm. that is purely me telling what i know from experience. not random bullshit. and yeah, this is the part where u start talking shit about audio shops and just "do it yourself, r-tard"

I dont need to, your the one that said it doesnt do 1600, so YOU prove ME wrong since it was YOUR conjecture since the beginning of this thread. And I'd put money you wouldnt be able to tell the difference b/w the 300-400watts...
