hi guys,

im using this calculator

http://www.caraudio911.com/tutorials/GainSet/voltage.htm

to get my gains all set up on my truck, and im getting different numbers.

i have 2 sundown saz1500-ds strapped, and 2 d2 fi audio BTL 18s in my s10

can someone help me out on getting these gains where they should be?

also i metered it the other day just setting the gain by ear and it did a 146.8 legal. im getting 2 more sundowns down the road, i want to be in the 150 club!

thanks for your help in advanced,

how long down the road, cause those two amps, are not keeping up with those BTL's

you might as well just sell the 1500's and get the 3000D. Then add a second one later.

il be getting 2 more in a month or 2. i wish i had 2 3000ds, when i ordered my amps that wat i wanted, but they were backordered. not to mention im really running out of space in my cab with the 16 cubic foot wall, 2 18s , 3 amps and 2 batterys all inside lol

Do you have a load connected or not?

Setting by voltage alone really isn't extremely accurate either due to the actual impedance varying quite a bit from the nominal. I generally set them by ear and back it off a hair once I hit audible distortion.

yes i have 2 fi BTL 18s d2 coils on it. the amps are strapped at 2 ohms. i just want it all tuned up so i can pound on these things. i really do wish i had 2 3000s tho

With a load connected you are subject to the actual impedance -- what voltage are you getting? Can you clamp the AC current?

2 ohms each amp? or togather

strapped, 1ohm per amp 2 ohm load from both...

I have it wired just like in the manual, then i have both woofers in series
