Haha im glad everyone has high voltages lol. Mine are goin to be at 17.8
depending on the efficiency of your speakers, that could still be enough to make your ears bleed.Originally Posted by WildStorm
It works pretty well now and my gains are all the way down Ive not really messed with adjusting the amp too much. Waiting on my new cd player to get here before I do. Then im going to take a baseball bat to the stupid Kenwood thats in the car now
Silly question probably, but how to I configure my DMM? I think I have things set correct, and I am getting close to the numbers I beleive I should for the sub, i.e., somewhere around 24.9v (profile 440W: rms = 150X2 bridged) from the chart says about 25v.The simplest way to do this is to just take the rms rating on the amp @ whatever ohm load you wish to use and just plug it into the equation. If the rest of this writeup is a jumble of words then just remember that using the rms power rating of your amp will work most of the time.
well someone correct me if im wrong but arent most speaker resistance off by a little bit? if you wanted to get a more accurate calculation you could hook up the DDM in ohm mode and check the resistance of ur speakers... well at least for subwoofers it would work pretty well.
question
my calculation for the setup im tuning is 40v and it is also using an alpine deck .
the alpine amp only has a lpf, so what should i set the gain on the amp to, (80-90%), before i adjust the lpf to 40v?
should i set the sw level on the deck to 9?
