Posted July 17, 200718 yr I need help configuring my amp to the BTL sub!anyone can help me?i pretty much know nothing
July 17, 200718 yr Author I have a 18 inch BTL with all options,I have a memphis mojo 2000DampI owned two memphis 500d before this, but the mojo amp has more control settings and i dont understand them.
July 17, 200718 yr Do you have an enclosure for them? Set the subsonic filter a 2-5 Hz below tuning depending on the filter rate (12dB rate should be set closer to tuning and a 24dB can be set up to 5 Hz below). I recommend an 80 Hz low pass setting for almost any system. Setting higher ruins the bottom end intigration and draws your attention to the "bass" in the rear of the car. Setting lower in most systems leaves a hole in the response as most people dont have enough midbass as it is. If you dont have an oscope then set gains lower to start with. A multimeter can help things along, but with some of the tutorials I have seen lately, they look to get more people into trouble than they are worth (truly you cant set up an amp with only a multimeter unless you have a current clamp and even then... its no where near as accurate as with an oscope).Even though the BTL should take that power with ease, starting on the safe side of settings and backing your way into higher ones is the safe way to go. If you have any specific questions, please let me know.Thanks,Scott
