Robin...he did strap the amps right. Not one amp per coil correct?

2 Strapped per sub

I heard it was 193.xx after he connected the Flux capacitors in the trunk B-)

I saw a 146-147 with music with gains not set right and volume not all the way up... light smoke came out of port and I called it a day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I need a link to a cheap/reliable o-scope so I can set this up right

Yikes, well that sucks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Hopefully you'll get things straightened out.

Definatly need to to a detailed inspection. Start from the front and work your way to the back scanning over everything.

Also, where is your peak and where is your song frequencies? Chevy is at that same score and going up with half the power and only 1 12" sub. Sounds like you need to do a shit load more testing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thats going to be hard to find.lol,but good score so far,i just used a dmm to set my amps up,ive kinda got the same amp configuration you have,what volts were you shooting for

Lots more testing will be done when this problem is fixed....I've only used my TermLab for 10 minutes or so.

We guessed 78 volts... but everything is so ****ing confusing with the amps strapped.

How do you set the gains with strapped amps and what impedance so we set with, 2 ohms or 1?

Your gaining to base it off of the load that each individual amp is seeing.

He is doing the same with his 1 12 and on music?

 

[squeak12 10+ year member]

Just max it out and turn the bass boost up.

Turn the gain all the way up on the slave amp.

On the master amp, start off with the gain ALL the way down. Turn it up until you hear clipping (then turn it down an 1/8 turn or so) or until you are comfortable with where it's at.

Thats the way I've always done it and never had any problems.

so how much $$ you think kennys got into this right now?

15 sheets of mdf $300, some subs $600, some amps $1200 some labour $1000, some glue n screws $40 misc items $500

so wangin for about $3500?

oh yea-temlab $$

i thought the master amp controls everything on the slave including gain.
