[QUOTE="xxrcm619xx, post: 8514258, member: 661855"] So i got the speakers in, No sub Box yet. I used the SMD-DD1 for distortion on the head unit (After Volume 32 it Creates Distortion) and the amplifier then used a DDM for the gains. At first I ran the amp with the DDM setting the gains at 14.5 for each channel and turning the volume up and it goes into protect mode around volume 16-17. So i figured the gains were too high im clipping the amp, But now i turned the gains to a point where they are all the way down the volume for each channel the speakers are very low and i turn it up to 25 and it goes straight into protect mode. i ran the amp with the gains all the way low, volume at 25 for about 20 mins, and soon i started smelling some burn. I got the ground to the frame and i wire wheel the rust off to where its shining like a diamond in a goats ***. Where did i go wrong? I know i can get these speakers to be a little louder, im not competeing or anything but i know the wind sounds on the freeway are louder then these speakers right now. Any input helps thanks.
