turn bass boost all the way down

Don't do boost and my gain was set at about half on mine.

ive tried talkin to him and it doesnt work, he either doesnt listin or has that attitude of a 13 year old girl and listins to what i say but says he knows it all and hell be fine with his own decisions, what is a dmm

he is starting to look like a 13 year old girl too.....have you noticed how skinny he got?

dmm=digital multi meter

Hey can he hook me up with some white?

Anyway turn off bass boost and find out what your HU preout voltage is.

If its 4v around 1/4 gain if its 2v around 1/2 but no more.

hes always been skinny as ****, he comes over here sometime like ill find him when i get home from school and that ***** sleeps from then untill the next day sometime, whats his deal yo is it the dude hes livin with

i just set it at what i thought was right, it goes like this
gain= around 3/4

db boost or soemthin like that= the same as gain around 3/4

low pass filter= 50 or 60

sub sonic filter= 30 to 35 maybe somehwere like 33

Dude, even with 2 volt preout. Take a look at your gain knob, all the way to the left is typically a 8v-5v input all the way to the right is typically 0.2v. So think about it, your telling your amp to compensate for something like a 1v-.8v input voltage. NOT GOOD.

Bass boost is a waste of time, all it does is boost a certain frequency range usually around 45hz witha 12db slope. That slope also throws some phasing issues into your subs.

If you have a ported box, set the subsonic somewhere around the port tuning frequency, if you have sealed, set it at 20hz. AND set your LPF at 75-80!!! Cross your mids at 80. Basically with a 65hz LPF setting on the subs, you are counting on your front end to take care of 65 and UP, unless you are running a 3 way active front end, don't count on it.

did you set it with a DMM or just randomly set it there?

IMO setting with a DMM doesnt do shit.

so are you trying to argue against physics?? good luck

you are entitled to your opinion, but I set mine on heavy sustained music and it has done beautifully.

nothing is better than actual numbers. If I am playing music and set gains with a dmm and the heaviest music I listen too, then the only more accurate way would be with a scope(which will still be off depending on what your signal is.

i have no idea hes beeing stupid, i guess that is why hes been sayin like he doesnt feel good, do you know how much he does it. and yea i have a davd player now not the pioneer

I'll argue with him. How many people know their TRUE output of their amps, cause all these people with Hifonics are setting with a DMM and not taking into account the way Hifonics rates their Amps? Do they really see

Also, are people setting them with just a DMM? Or are you using a test tone? What sensitivity was your test tone recorded at? How do you know the amp still isn't clipping? Are you going to trust the Manufacturer to tell you when it clips? I wouldn't.

Unless you are using the PROPER test tone, and a O-scope. This little "set it with a DMM boner" is worthless.
