[QUOTE="darren700, post: 7908342, member: 568488"] Well i finally got around to setting my gains with the dimm to 1200watts exactly. I have also solved the last couple vibration problems (had to put foam between the headboard and frame.) with the gain dialed in to 1200watts @ 50hz it is not nearly as loud as i want it. pushing the gain any higher results in audible clipping so i wont do that (was hard to distinguish before due to truck vibrations) i also got around to looking at my xmax (was just guessing before), id be lucky if the sub is moving 6-8mm with my amp. I have therefore decided to upgrade to the aq2200 asap as i feel the extra power will make a big difference since im seeing such small travel now. Im gonna try it with the electrical i have now, if it cant keep up, ill turn the gain on the 2200 down until i can afford more electrical to back it up. I also ordered a DC Clamp meter so i can get an idea of exactly how much i am stressing my alt and how much my system is pulling. Thanks again for the advice all. [/QUOTE]
