hey guys i'm currently extremely new to the car audio scene and i have a setup i just completed with the PDX-5 5 channel amp 4x75RMS and the 1x300RMS sub channel
(actually rated at like 106 watts x4 RMS and 390+watts rms on the sub channel)
powering 2 sets of Infinity Kappa 60.9cs components and 1 10" type R 2omh sub
the problem im having is my sub is distorting and rattling at high volumes if i put the subwoofer level up on my deck which is the Alpine CDA-9886. and it doesnt seem like its producing enough sound the sub is rated 500W RMS and 1500W peak.... any ideas?
i dont know anything about gains or anything. i had a local shop set it up for me, they told me they put the "subwoofer all the way up" on the amp.
" they told me they put the "subwoofer all the way up" on the amp. "
Haha not sure what they mean but it can't be good..... go look where the amps settings are, bass boost should be all the way DOWN and gain should be somewhere in the middle although they probaly didn't even set that right.
i dont know what bass boost is i see LP Filter and SW Gain for the subwoofer channel the LP Freq is set all the way up to 200hz and gain was set all the way up max, if i turn the gain down the sub emits little bass response... maybe i should have went for the 12"?
