Tweaking Merlin D2 for 10w7

[makaman 10+ year member]

sup,

I was curious if anyone was running this combination of m2d2 and 2 10w7s. How did you go about configuring your settings on the amp?

If not, is there a certain rule of thumb i should follow while adjusting the settings?

thanks!

saw the sticky and realized that the settings revolve around the gain, so i'll try playing with that.

wiring them to 1.5 ohms would give you..something between 900-1800 watts?

you think that much?? i was thinking at 1.5 i would get like 1400-1500, maybe less.

nah I have no idea, just saying it has to be between those numbers, I would guess 1400-1500 too, pm flakko maybe he'd know

wondering if any one can help with som tuning.

It doesnt sound right on most songs. im a little confused as to what the different settings are on the amp and also which is the gain.

I also wanted to check if im running the speakers the right way, i have the + and + connected to each other in the box and the - and - to of each speaker running to ONE (1) connector box + and -. I then have that running to the + and - of the amp. Is that ok? or should it be 1 set of wire for each sub to the amp?

thanks!

You will be getting about 1500watts, a bit to much power.

1500 watts to both correct? so like 750 each?

also anyone know which one is the "gain". The US amps has level, sub sonic, LPF, and Bass EQ. I read Jmac's thread on the test tone, but dont know which one to start turning up for voltage reading. I want to assume Level, but then dont want to break it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

thanks!

Yes, 'level' would be your gain.

thank you sir!!!

actually could some explain what these do? sub sonic, LPF, and Bass EQ.

I have the manual next to me but there is nothing specific on what they do.
