Bronze Member Username: Rick_rossPost Number: 48 Registered: May-06 | I didnt get that amp that i first posted i got the model from last year BX1605D so i think ill only be giving 1100 rms to both of them so that should be good. also what should the phase be set to and the subsonic filter? and how high do you think i should have the level and bass boost so i dont blow the subs? |
Silver Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 745 Registered: Feb-06 | depends on what your box is tuned to and i'd keep the bass boost off, thats what i do. at most i turn mine up 2 clicks (out of 32) and use the hu for turning up the bass. |
