Hello I'm new at this so here it goes,I have 1- Soundqubed HDS 212 woofer which is 2 ohm dual voice coil,I have it wired for 1 ohm,so when i set my gain with a multi meter do i do the math with 1 ohm or 2 ohm?
Where did you get that you need a multimeter to set gain on the amp?Hello I'm new at this so here it goes,I have 1- Soundqubed HDS 212 woofer which is 2 ohm dual voice coil,I have it wired for 1 ohm,so when i set my gain with a multi meter do i do the math with 1 ohm or 2 ohm?
The amp is seeing 1, so you'd use sqrt(P x 1)Hello I'm new at this so here it goes,I have 1- Soundqubed HDS 212 woofer which is 2 ohm dual voice coil,I have it wired for 1 ohm,so when i set my gain with a multi meter do i do the math with 1 ohm or 2 ohm?
Not a great idea. Amps can vary pretty widely in input sensitivity and HU's can vary by a few volts in signal strength. The correct gain setting could easily vary from 25-75% from one set up to the next.Where did you get that you need a multimeter to set gain on the amp?
I usually set it 3/4, you should be fine. But thats me..
Thanks for the info, I will check it out..[emoji109]Not a great idea. Amps can vary pretty widely in input sensitivity and HU's can vary by a few volts in signal strength. The correct gain setting could easily vary from 25-75% from one set up to the next.
At least do it by ear:
