getting ready to set the gain on my amp.....when I go to subwoofer tools.com and get the volts it needs to be would I use the rated rms or what is on the birthsheet?
Actually let me revise that....... if it's an amp thats known to be very underrated (I'm thinking of the rockford power series in particular) then you could go higher.
the 750 will probably do rated power at 12.8, but I agree with MS that using 750w to set the gain would be the better way to go. That way it's known that under the amp won't clip under any circumstance. Besides - what's the difference between 750 and 850?? Nothing audibly, just more stress on the amp.
ok....now I have another question on the matter. the prior was what I put in my girlfriends jeep. but, I'm getting ready to buy the audioque 1200d to push my 2 12" CVR's would I just use the 800 I need to get the voltage? or how would I go about setting the gain without hurting the subs?
yup, ten-4. but, hypothetically speaking if I were to buy an amp that produced more power than I was wanting to give my subs would I get the volts for the the wattage I'm wanting and not the volts for the rated power of the amp?
