[QUOTE="Jacob Pierznik, post: 8894014, member: 693262"] So I've always in the past ran settings up high or gain up to where I was clipping and just breaking subs so I could get input and that's why I finally got the headunit because I was over running it like that. I just used an oscilloscope today to set the gains correctly and I get a decent amount more output then I would've got with the old headunit on the correct settings, but it still feels like it lacks a decent amount. My goal is to be able to feel the bass in the seat like I did with the wrong settings, but just on the right settings. When I got the first svx10 I got it from a guy that did audio installs and he showed me his with the same exact sub just on an 1000watt amp and his had significantly better output. Now he did have a 99-04 mustang and I have a sedan so I'm sure that makes a difference and I have no idea if an extra 200watts would be enough to increase the volume that much. My interior lights do dim a bit on max volume and the power light on the amp does too, but I've gotten mixed answers about the voltage drop I'm experiencing some say that dropping more than 0.5v is bad and others saying dropping down the 1v or more I am seeing is fine and I shouldn't hear a difference in output, so I have no idea what is right. I also don't know if it's just me and I don't strong enough amp for what I want or if I have another issue. [/QUOTE]
