Need to install rear comps and waiting for the HC2400 and BIG 3.One thing i havent quite got figured out yet is line level settings and gain settings. I havent had the O-scope available for my use and wont for a while. Im using a line level convert for a quad cable rca to the 4 channel amp. Im using the head unit 2v rca outputs for the subwoofer amp. I think i have the line level converter set too high as with lots of speaker volume i get not so much bass. I think my 4channel amp is probably getting more like 4v or maybe even 6v and my subwoofer amps only getting 2.Im tempted to turn the gain up on the dsc1500 to pump more power to the sub to balance out the sound but im worried about undetected clipping. I currently have the gain set at a little over halfway. The dial reads lowest to highest 6v to 0.2v. Half way would be 3.1v. Three quarters of the way up would be about 1.65v halfway between haflway and three quarters of the way would be 2.375 and this is roughly where i have the gain set right now.Unfortunately to get the bass level im looking for i currently have the remote for the amp all the way up and i have the head unit sub output on setting 8 out of 10. I realize this probably increases the output voltage from the head unit.... i think. Anyways, with the head unit sub output setting at 8 the remote for the amp maxed and the gain on the sub amp at over halfway im just getting the sound i want. Is it okay to have the headunit sub setting so high along with the gain being set relativity high?The amp didnt get warm but i could smell the sub pretty good on a few songs with long heavy bass. Im probably pushing this e-12 further than it wants to go. Or im clipping the **** out of the signal...I really wish i had that o-scope</blockquote>
