[QUOTE="USMC_Metallica, post: 1859265, member: 560442"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Couple problems I see....for one NO BASS BOOST. Set your HU sub out to max and use the gain setting tutorial sticky at the top of the amp forum (dont have a DMM? GET ONE its only 20 bucks). Number two, looks like half an inch may not be enough ventilation for that amp...try mounting it somewhere else. Set your gains first though and see if that works... The rock sound is subjective....you would be better of getting better SQ subs with a flatter response in a sealed enclosure for double kicks, or soft drums....You can also EQ the subs, but might be more trouble then its worth, what kind of box are they in? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i dont have a sub out on the h/u, mainly the reason i got the 2 way pwrd x over. i turned the bass boost down to like half and turned up the gain on the sub amp and lpf x over chan. gonna give it a day or so like that and ill just go from there. after much asking around on the MA forum (which i cant get to anymore) i was told that XL's were MA's best SQ subs (i got em last year), and ive got them in a sealed box, 1.25 cu/ft per. MA web site recommends 1 cu/ft per, but once again upon asking i was told 1.25 gave the best results for rock. had some guy build the box of 3/4" MDF. it seems that turning down the amp bass boost mainly affects the lower freqs. maybe the faster double bass wont get so muddy now, and maybe playing NIN wont make m amp shut off all the time.
