Little Bass

[MeanGreen03]

I'm running a Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bd and 2 12" T1's. I set the gain to the appropriate AC voltage and I get very little bass. I turned the gain up and it sounds much better but am scared of clipping. Why am I not getting the bass with the proper gain adjustment?

what are you using to adjust the gains?

 

[MeanGreen03]

I'm using a DMM. The system is at 2 Ohms so that's roughly 1000W. So using the calculation of the square root(1000x2)=44.7Vac.

what is your hu volume set at, and you may just be better off setting it by ear

 

[blueflamed03]

what HU??

It's a Kenwood DNX9140. It is set at volume 30 out of 35. It seems like I'll just have to set it my ear and throw the numbers to the wind.

yea, should be banging with that power, just listen for distortion.
