[QUOTE="LuvnThatBass, post: 4054013, member: 561396"] so i just installed all this the other day, and knowing that my stock 117 alt is just not going to be enough to be seriously running this speaker, so i expected significant voltage drop (since the amp is rated at 300amp). i did the big 3 with the knu konceptz kol 0/1 (which is equivalent to 2/0 i guess). but here is what i am concerned about, there is not very much voltage drop and i have all my settings at the following: lpf: like 120 or something... GAIN: 3/4 the way up! ssf: 20 and bass boost at 0...but i use the remote bass and that is pretty much at 3/4 most of the time because it doesnt seem like it is using the wattage very well.. now i did NOT use a DMM, but i would think that if i did, the setting would be turned down a little, and then i really dont think it would get as loud as i would have thought.. but dont get me wrong, it gets really loud at and around the tuning freq of 38hz. but when i turn my head unit up to 28/42, some notes sound like they are about to blow the speaker..... i guess i dont really know what my question is.... but am i getting the potential out of the amp?? or will i just not know until i get a DMM??? any thing will help!
