[QUOTE="20 hz bass machine, post: 8692162, member: 678131"] Appreciate the complement. Just in case your curious I have a focal ps165f flax sires component set for my mids and highs all independently powered and crossed over with the deh80prs like I already stated the system sounds awesome. I dont have an oscope only a dd1 and an amm1 from smd (should have bought an oscope to begin with) I'd set the gain with the dd1 but I'm scared I will over power the sub if I go off of a distortion alone. I dont love that I set the gain in real time power mode on the amm 1 but I needed to be able to see how much power I was giving the sub because I know the amp can do more than what I'm rated for and I figured I must be good if I never see over 1000 watts and no clipping (distortion light). As for the amp power supply could it have something to do with my alternator? I'm very aware I need a good eletrical system and have a 370 billet from mechman on the way but for the moment I'm running on the stock alternator with the big 3. Another thing to note is that the entire system is running off of 1 15' run of 0 guage ofc. All the charts and such that I could find say that 1 run is plenty for the amount of amperage I'm dealing with (roughly 300 at peak output) but maybe that gets into the whole dc thing (never heard of it before now) If anything I've said rang some bells please let me know. I'm willing to try anything. Last thing I need is to blow up the nicest sub I've ever owned. Thanks a bunch for the reply [/QUOTE]
