Hey everyone, new to this forum but not car audio/home audio. Okay so I have 2 pioneer 12” woofers in my Jeep that are 600w rms each pushed by a 1200w rms amplifier. The whole system is on 1ohm which is rated power and i know i can bump pretty hard. Okay so I have a few questions for y’all here so that I don’t blow these woofers and ruin my inverstememt. On my Kenwood head unit it has the option for -50 to +10 subwoofer level, and I currently run a flat freq response using rta tuning. Overall the system sounds great, gain is voltage matched between the amplifier and head unit (4v input on both. With no bass boost from the amp and 0 subwoofer level you aren’t able to hear the subs at all - however when I change the sub level on the head unit to +10 or the amp bass boost up it really bangs. What I want to know is am I introducing distortion by using these level controls (not changing gain knob on amp). Should I only change one of these controls? Both? Is it safe to use level control on the head unit or bass boost on the amp? Thank you for your replies anything helps //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
