[QUOTE="venoxcide, post: 8395947, member: 664297"] I just want to make sure I'm doing this properly. I'm using a Kicker CX1200.1 for my bass amp at the moment which mine's claimed RMS output is 1276W @ 2 ohms. (as per the certificate they include in the box) I'm connecting a pair of Pioneer TS-W304Rs which are SVC 4 ohm subs rated at 300W RMS each. They're in a fairly small sealed box so I'm wanting to give them 400W RMS each for a total of 800W RMS. I know so far the signal coming from the head unit is clean and I'm using the Bass EQ knob on the amp about 2 notches up. It's maybe 1/6th of the way turned up. I'd rather do my EQ outside of the headunit and amplifier but I don't have a sound processor yet. Maybe in the future. Using an Ohms law calculator, I should be targeting around 40V on the DMM correct? That should equal 800W and should split to 400 each per sub. This is how I have it set right now and I've done about two hour long straight play sessions yesterday with some very heavy bass songs including some Decaf songs and the subs aren't the slightest bit hot on the cone after those sessions, neither was the amplifier. The bass as it is now sounds just the way I want it at the level that I want it, so I just want to verify that I have everything setup properly as I don't have one of those fancy o-scopes that also tell you exactly how much watts is coming out of the amp.
