I would like to use a AC voltmeter to set the gain on my SAZ-3500D. Can I get the voltage just before clipping at a 1 ohm load?

Thats already been established. I never said it was neither I just set the amp by ear like I have been doing for over 15 years I know what clipping sounds like and I have not heard any clipping, but I'm willing to accept that maybe my hearing is going bad and I need to do it with a voltmeter so can I just get the question at hand answered? Thanks!

yeah really....

I would like to use a AC voltmeter to determine if clipping is the issue since I do not hear the clipping. Can I get the voltage just before clipping at a 1 ohm load?

Found an interesting read. Amplifier gain controls - setting your gain This guy claims to have been installing since 1974!! BTW I turned my gain back up it sounds much better I just don't go full tilt on the head unit as thats the only time I had a problem.

lol... ok thanks! Guess I should have waited for the 4500D. I turned it down it was about half way up now its a little under half way... Should I turn it down even lower?

I think it's around 3/4 of the way up maybe a little less these subs are power hungry. I'll play around with the gain and see if I can get the same output with less gain. I don't hear any clipping though.

Nope one thing I love about this amp is it never gets very hot just a little warmth. This will be my first summer running Sundown though so fans may be necessary soon. My previous Lanzar OptiDrive Plus 500 amp would over heat like crazy seriously I could cook on it, of coarse it was being over worked pushing around 1500 watts to my 4000 watts RMS subs. I should probably add that I am running a 1 ohm load as suggested by Jacob.

I have had my 3500D installed for a while now and its great however when I really crank it up full tilt on music after maybe 20 mins. it will sometimes go into protect. I had a 300 amp circuit breaker hooked up next to it up until today when I switched it out for a 300 amp ANL fuse. I had a problem with the circuit breaker tripping when turned to full tilt also, I think due to extreme vibrations. After replacing the circuit breaker I found it still went into protect once today. I have 2 165ah batteries next to the 3500D and a optima yellowtop under the hood, but I'm still running the factory alternator which I plan to upgrade soon. I have a digital gauge mounted on the dash so I'm positive the voltage never drops bellow 13 volts. I guess my question is, is it because my alternator isn't providing enough amperage or what else could it possibly be? Thanks!

I really hope we can get to at least 10 orders before ending it.

I've been planing to purchase one of these usb meters for a while now. I had discussed prices with Krill through email and he sent me here. Put me down for a USB BASS METER possibly a PRO if enough people join the group buy. Thanks Shizz/Phi for getting this started!

Thank you I guess for now I'll plan for it to be .5 cubes. If anyone has the exact volume please let me know.

I'm planing to purchase a lvl 5 15" in the very near future and so I'm working on the box design and I was hopeing someone could give me the volume of this woofer. Thanks...

I want one of these but I'm really limited on space can I get me the length dimension in inches? I converted the mm dimension provided to inches, but then I went to check what was provided for the 3500 length dimension and noticed it is not correct, it states that the length is 594 mm which converts to 23.4 inches however I measured mine and its 26 inches. So can someone please measure one for me and let me know the exact length of this amp in inches? Thanks...

Don't get me wrong I have run JL subs many times in the past and found JL has made some great subs in their day. But my experence with the w7 models tell me they are over rated. I also suggest a 1000d for them.
