gains up, sub not pounding

no no no....you can set the gain at whatever HU sub setting you like

So you dont understand why having the gain maxed on the amp could cause a clipped signal..?Is there any reason you think you need the gain all the way up?

Just set your gains with a dmm...

If sub level is 0 and gain is MAX all i get is very little output from sub under 20/35 and ok output at 28/35 (my max for listening). So if i set with DMM and it turns out to be lower gain, how is that going to help me?

Did you read the first post where he said gains are ALL the way up? And he has his HU sub level set to 0..and when he starts turning it up..it clips?

Good, take the OP with you.

so say i set gain at 50% i will have to increase sub level to max just to hear any bass below 20/35. That doesn't seem right to me

take it to a reputable stereo shop or ur closest stesom dealer.

I just dont get why you think a maxed out gain with a non-fade level of 0 is correct. Why dont you just set the gains right, and then if you still have the problem, go from there? You are clipping for a reason.

you have to max out every setting on your HU and amp to hear anything
also try grounding your amp to your gas tank

best joke i've heard in a month //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif lmao

[blazeplacid 10+ year member]

make sure you have the sub out pre outs from the HU and not the front or rear

also check your voice coil wires

sides from that sell it you dont need that amp

im getting 70.2 volts using 50 hz test tone at 28/35 volume at 4 ohms. translates to roughly 1232 watts.....ok wtf now...

 

[dennis09x 10+ year member]

and thats at MAX gains set

 

[dennis09x 10+ year member]

at mid gain roughly 45 volts. Im looking to get around 90 volts at 4 ohms to get 2000 watts..... not enough juice getting to the amp?
