Amp Settings help

[Hayden_b]

I’ve recently purchased a pre build box with two twelve inch subs at 4 ohms and 500 watts with a JL audio 500/1 amp for my challenger. I also have a line out converter since I have a factory head unit. I have absolutely no idea how to tune the amp and would appreciate some recommended settings.

Go to ytoutube.com and type "how to tune my car amplifier", in the search engine.

Thanks captain obvious. If it was that easy I wouldn’t be asking for help.

Sorry for taking the time to reply, First Mate. If you are that much of a novice, take it to a shop and let them tune it.
No need to respond, as I won't be able to see it. You only have 2 posts, and already being added to my ignore list for your brash comment. Congratulation.

it kinda really is that easy. You can watch videos and whatever you dont understand we can clarify.

Does the line out converter have a gain adjustment as well?

It has bass, main, and accubass. Not too sure how the amp settings and converter settings affect eachother

Also my amp doesn’t have a specified “gain” knob either

Maybe post up some pics of all the components?

it'll say level or input sensitivty rarely does it ever get labeled gain.
Your audio control's main is the gain. The accubass is bass restoration, you want to use that and not the other bass knob that should be zero. You want the settings on the LC2i high and the amplifier gain settings low. After setting the audio control gains, put your amp gains at zero and any sort of bass boost option off. Proceed to play your hardest hitting music and raise the gain till it stops getting louder, then back it off a notch.

Very Appreciated I’ll come back with the results tomorrow.
