what RMS at what ohm?

rated at 7200@2ohms when strapped. I had a 1.5 nominal load at this show so each amp was running at .7 before rise. In short, I don't really know.

I had all kinds of stuff shaken loose when I got home Sunday night, btw.

A DMM alone will not tell you what kind of power you are getting out of an amplifier...you would also need a clamp meter, which doug (djman) has. We are all just to lazy to ever clamp the amps, to see what kind of power they were doing.

As for setting the gains with a DMM...nope never have done it nor ever will. If you know anything about car audio a DMM isn't needed for gain setting...just something for new guys to use that way they don't mess up equipment.

I wish I could of made it up there...but college has me busy 99% of the day. Im going to try and make the next one wherever it is.

I've seen those subs take a pair of Visonik 4k's at 17v each.

I know where the HU clips with tones and set it just below there. The gain is passive on the amps, so remote wide open is the gain setting on the amp. I haven't opened them up enough to NOT see gains. Burps are easy...no droping below tuning, etc.

I ran both amps to a single sub last month with each amp at .35 ohms:wow:

the subs can take what you can cleanly send them. I set the gains on the amp for total of what I want to push them at that time. I use the remote gain(which never goes past the setting on the amp) as the volume knob. Basically reverse the knob function...set the deck for maximum clean ouput and use the gain(remote) as a 'quicker' volume knob. There's more in them, but for local stuff, they're setup fine.

OOOOO OK I get it now I have a bass knob to yous it all the time
