I need help with my amp settings, im not very audio saavy when it comes to tweaking amps to get the best sound out of them. i have a 07 ram quad cab, with 2 10'' kenwoods underneath the seat, the box has little airspace inside and is not ported. its being pushed by a 800w two channel amp, and the headunit is a clairon vz400. right now its got clean crisp bumps when i listen to rock and some rap, but some of these rap songs are not hitting like they should. what are the optimum settings on my amp & headunit to get the best sound out of it?
You'll have to invest about $10 to $15 in a DMM. here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm4aaC87ARg Here's also the formula for getting the correct voltage: the formula for the voltage is Sqrt(Power*Resistance) = Voltage
Better Car Audio Sound You always want to make sure that you can turn the volume on your receiver up to about 70-80% loudness at max play will little or no distortion to achieve highest audio signal transfer to your amplifier(s). Your gain control on your amplifiers should never be turned up all the way. systems can easily be tuned by yourself. Bring it to a place where you won't bother anyone, turn the volume up, and adjust all treble, bass and other equalizer modes until you have reached your desired sound quality. It may take a little while to get good at it, and you may need to change the settings with different music playing, but it's rather simple.
dude i edited the spam link out of your post, while the explination is sound, i will not allow you to spam here.
you might want to check the amps sub sonic filter. maybe its set too high. are you lacking low bass output? it could also be the box size too. might bo too small to do what you want it to do. if the enclosures are too small you could use pollyfill to slow down the rear wave of the sub to make it perform as if its in a larger enclosure.
