can u put 2big of batt in a car?

[jonbearsmt 919]

even just a better one then a GM stock acid type will be better, and what size wire did thay run you?

yeah look at the settings and see where thay are,,,

cause you keep sayin that the bass boost is all the way down.....

and i dono if your saying that your remote gain is all the way down or your bass boost...

the bass boost should be all the way down...

and your knob is a remote gain.. so you should not have full output with your knob down.

they ran 4ga wire. and i mean like they put a knob up front by my steering wheel, and i have that turned all the way down. i just looked at my amp, and its just srews like on the amp settings, so theres no visual indecation.

man i dont even know wut u mean by the big 3. im car audio retarded

on the saz amp its ALMOSt round.. but in one spot its kinda cut down at an angle, thats the arrow if you will.

and if your remote gain is all the way down then your settings are wrong on the amp.

4 gauge, is fine for that amp.

big three...

0 gauge from frame to - batt,

4 gauge add on from alt to + batt

and 0 gauge from motor to fram or cell

well your settings are way off if your gain is all the way up!

you need to back that gain down way down. i would turn it halfway down, then slowly turn your remote gain up and see if thats good, you wanna listen and watch the subs.. thay will talk to you in away.. thay will tell you to a point if thay are getting to much power... nothing is better then a O scope.

second is that box you have ported? we will get to the sub sonic after you state what kinda of box

and the bass boost imo should be off no matter what.

also check the settings on your cd player. make sure the bass is on the - side... and if you have a sony make sure the D bass is on 1 or none. not 2 or 3

i have a ported box. im runnin 2 12ssd n saz1500 just for a side note. my remote gain is the knob thats up by my steering wheel right??? n just tell me where my sttings need 2b n ill put em there. thanx by the way 4 all the help dawg, i know it probably gets old helpin out all the virgins on here lol.

[jonbearsmt 919]

well from what i understand the subsonic should be set right around where your box is tuned to... IE if your box is 35 hrz.. then you wanna set your subsonic right around there on your amp.

yes the remote gain is the knob with the blue light on it.

when its at min.. the bass should almost not even be there.... like as if your gramma were gonna drive your car you would turn it all the way down... and she would be very happy listing to the radio....

but then when you get in it you turn your knob and bang bang baby...

i call mine the DAMN knob...... cause when i turn it passengers say DAMN!

where are your bass settings on your cd player?

[audio-neon 34]

What head unit do you have (or atleast what pre-out voltage is it)

Your gain should never ever be above 3/4 with an aftermarket deck.

Your Sub Sonic Filter (SSF) should be set just below your box's tuning and your LPF around 60-70 hz.

ok i understand the gain now. my cd player is in the negative zone. its the stock HU. i asked the guy what the box was tuned to n he looked at me like i wuz retarded so i figured i got mixed up, so i didnt press the issue. but when my damn knob is down, there is still a crap load of bass. thats the only way i can play my music right now is with it all the way down. im goin 2 turn my gain on the amp down 2day btw

can u put 2big of batt in a car?

Another vote for a better battery, rather than a second. A second will mean your alt (which is probably stock?) will have to work to keep two batts charged.

I run a big Odyssey PC2150 in a small Hyundai 4cyl hatch, stock alternator (70A?), big 3 upgrade using 0g wire. Can play pretty hard all day, can even do a couple of tracks at 2-3kw before it starts to drop in voltage and clip.

is it ok to adjust my settings if i dont know wut my box is tune 2?
