ssoo embarrassing

and told i dont know what im doing with my system. Well im sorry i dont know as much about car audio as you. congratz

People are saying that because you obviously have no fucking clue what you're doing if your amp goes into protect on a regular basis. It's not difficult to comprehend, and the fact that you're becoming overly defensive, to the point that you're lashing out, just makes me -- and I'm sure others -- not try to help you.

You obviously don't know how to set gain if you said it "wasn't cranked".

If you'd like help, I'd suggest giving up the attitude and admitting some humility.

I just trying to prove a point. I post a story that i thought i was funny. Now instead of people replying trying to help or sharing similar experinces i get 4 groans, told i get cant girls, made fun of for my name, and told i dont know what im doing with my system.

Like i said, there must be something wrong with the amp. Gain isnt even half way up. i hear no distortion or anything from the subs. i may need better wires. I also suggest you go back and re-read the replys. I didnt start the conflict

There's definitely something wrong, yes. Again, set your gains correctly. That Kenwood amp is probably not great, and because of that, you can't just set the gains based on ear, especially if you're new to car audio.

Do you know what distortion sounds like? What kind of wiring do you have? And you did start the conflict, in our conversation. I was simply informing you that you can't know what you're doing and not know what's wrong at the same time...

My bad i was so mad from the other replys i just took it out on you lol. ALL im saying is that the gain is set not even half way up. It wouldnt shut off from the gain being to low

halfway up is not how you set the gain....

Gain needs to be set in a specific way. The easiest(and cheapest) way is to use a digital multi-meter. I'm sure there's a sticky somewhere on this site describing how to properly set them.

To say something that's been said countless times on this forum, gain is not a volume knob.

Upgrading the amp to at least half the subs rated power. If there 1200 rms and your running a 250 rms your barely even knocking the dust of of those subs therefore putting a heavier draw on the amp in return higker heat load from said load.make sure your wire is sized right for the amp u run ie 4ga = 100a 8ga = 40a .

is your impedance to low.

A digital multimeter will help u set your gains

 

[splwj47 10+ year member]

set gains properly with dmm, and check ur voltage
