Ok I have a 2003 Tiburon GT with Infinity sound system. I have a PPI BK 1300W Amp, 12" Gcon in a custom enclosure tuned to roughly 35Hz. No Big 3 yet that will come in July. So now here is what seem odd...
After all is set and done my gain is at about 60%, that seems high to me when my amps RMS is nearly double the RMS of the sub. The bass boost which I would rather not have to use is about 50%. Subsonic filter in in the at about 25%, LPF is about halfway. I dont have a DD, DMM, or an O-scope. I had to set my gains by ear.
Now these settings give me about the same bass as my old 400W RMS sub, and 500w RMS amp. Thats what is so mind blowing to me. Hands down this system is better in every way. Better sub and amp and better box. So why does it seem like my knobs are so high?
If I left anything out please let e know
