[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8714421, member: 679555"] You've got a weird setup, but this language you're using about the gain knob is probably the biggest problem. It's not a volume knob, you can ruin your equipment very easily without ever turning the gain up if your signal source is super large. There is no "half way up, all the way up" meaning in terms of volume, it's not a percentage scale, it's a pre-out voltage scale. If you've got a pre-out voltage of 4v then set it to 4 and fine-tune it from there to avoid clips. You're using two differents amps which have different scales on their gain knobs so that one position in no way represents what the other one should be at. [S]This all begs the question though, if your subs are 1350W each and you've got 2 amps, why in the world are you not just running the HD3000 in 1ohm mode and powering both in parallel from it? The Rockville has no place in this system.[/S] Nevermind just saw they're DVC, but I'd still say power them both with the taramps at 2ohms, having two amps involved is going to complicate everything. They share an airspace, you may even be experiencing a phase shift between the two brands, I've heard Taramps defaults to reverse speaker wiring so it's possible as one contracts the other expands. Even if not, it's a bad idea to have them sharing airspace. [/QUOTE]
