[QUOTE="srch4aresn, post: 8142973, member: 610762"] alpine 9887 sundown 1500d dc lvl 4 have the sub wired to 1 ohm, playing 50hz test tone on the stereo, volume at ~18 since i rarely go past that. i should get a ac measure of 38.7 upgrade battery cables from innovative wiring (similar to big 3, all 0-2 gauge copper wires) and 1/0 gauge for the amp. even with the gain maxed out (no bass boost) im only getting a reading of 10.5 ac. should i turn the volume up or start turning up the bass boost or what? im going to go disconnect the mids/high amp and see if i can turn it louder to get the targeted volt reading [/QUOTE]
