hey guys need some tuning help.
Details:
pioneer head unit
and 760w amp
and subwoofer
(all pioneer)
background.
got an amazing deal on the 760w amp and subwoofer. (was in a trade-in at work and i bought it of our UCD for $20
stuffed it under my table and there it sat for a month. went out and bought a pioneer HU that i liked the looks of. tonight i noticed all three pieces are pioneer. i know some people would prefer mix-and-match of components.
ok. hears where i need some help. i like making the car shake. thats my favorite part. i set the radio the way i like the sound and with a song like (for example) urban assault vehicle by limp bisket (lots of consistent bass) the amp will shut down like its getting overpowered. probably trying to push too much through it far as i know. this is the biggest amp iv had (my last was a 600w sony) so im surprised iv run into this so easily.
the amp does have adjustment. there: bass boost (0-6-12), gain (6.3? ohms-normal-.2ohms), LPF (off-low).
how should i go about adjusting it so it doesnt shut down so easily?
also want to ask whats the best orientation for an sub? i noticed with it facing the trunk lid it shes the car real well. but with the sub facing the drivers side it doesnt shake so much but it sounds nice.
sorry for the outrageously long post but i wanted to give out everythign i know.
