[QUOTE="KTMrida4life, post: 7606919, member: 637865"] So you have a 500W sub amp putting out 840W? Thats called clipping, and its also why your voltage drop is so bad. Trust me, I know.... been there done that Set your gains using a multimeter. Get a multimeter and download a 50hz test track online. Put it on a ipod, cd, or thumb drive. No AUX. Play it at YOUR max volume, not your headunits. Mine is 42/50. Set it to that volume, set the multimeter to ACC and put the positive on the speaker + coming out of the amp and the negative on the -. In your case, you should be seeing 31V. Turn all the bass boosts off, on both the amp and your headunit. If you dont know how, ask your shop to do it. Ask them to set your gains to 500W using a multimeter or oscilloscope. [/QUOTE]
