THE WHOLE THING!!!
Turning the gain up doesn't mean a higher score. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Take for instance my setup. I was playing around with the meter and found that my setup actually likes a lower set gain. When I turned the gain up I didn't gain anything. In fact, the only way I did the same score with the gain up was to turn the volume down. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
It may work, but it may not. It all depends on how your gain is set now I guess. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Every single person who has seen this sub has been impressed... I wish I could show the world!
@knu, which RCAs do you recommend from head unit to 20.1? The RCA cables are REALLY shitty we realized... and from battery to 20.1, 200 amp fuse or higher? What's the recommend gauge of speaker wire for the 18" BTL? We bought some 12 gauge at a shop today that didn't exactly look like 12 gauge.
We also bought battery terminals for ****ing $15/piece and the wing nut broke when we turned it and the gold "flaked off" when we Visegripped it.
Also, the Optima isn't secured, it's in a small area where it could barely be moved, but I kind of want to secure it, just in case... how would I do so?

Robin didn't want me clipping so after we heard it with the gain up and everything shook crazily and we couldn't hear each other yell, he turned it down. I know it'll get a bit louder, just don't want to clip it.

Hope you gain a few dB's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Thanks bro //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif it'll never be over //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Every single thing in my car rattles, going to take a lot of ****ing deadener, lawl
I hope we both gain 8 dB.
Use the largest speaker wire it'll accept. I'd try to fit 8 gauge.
