Should i be okay to run my subwoofer at 15 if i set it with it at 0? I have a alpine deck, when i turn it up to 15 it doesn't getvery hot and it does not distort.

Okay so i looked around my battery and i couldn't locate what wire grounds to the body but regardless they are all small wires should i add 0 ga from my batt to the frame of my car?

ANYONE, amp is still getting hot i am POSITIVE its to 2 ohms, i put it up off the floor with little pieces of wood. I set my gains with a 40 hz -3 bd tone and i had it all set to 0 on the deck when i did it and the volume was at 23/35 it did not do this till i got bigger speaker wire... i am so confused. I have not done the big three or anything.

Are you talking about the setting on the h/u? If you are, set it at 15 and leave it there. That could be why it's still overheating.

When i did that its not loud at all like you can barely even feel it, i had a 500 watt amp on some walmart subs and it was louder then when i set it like that.....

That's alright. Most people have it at 80Hz.

How do you make those tones? Did you have to pay to get that or is it free?

Audacity. It's free.
