if you want more bass without damaging your equipment, get a bigger amp or another subwoofer.

well wat i did is i wired the sub to give a 4 ohms signal and i turned up the sub setting on the amplifier. that wont overheat the amp, right? as long as the sub is coming at 4 ohms?

If you are referring to the gains, then you could damage something if it's set to high. Use the "How to set gains w/ a DMM" in the faq threads to make sure it's dead on

And that's why I said I didn't want you to take offense... Not saying you were stupid, but some people learn better hands on... And like jonnyb said, you would expect someone that has never looked at a car to try and fix your brakes would you? We're about audio education here

If you plan on learnin yourself a lil car audio... get one

Doesn't have to be a big, bad, expensive one as long as you get a "digital" multi-meter, you can pick one up at Harbor Freight Tools (if ya got one nearby) cheap and they work great :happy055:

haha alright man and by the way thanks for everything you were pretty much the reason why i fixed everything in the first place. if it wasnt for you i would have purchased another sub that wasnt the answer. i actually did buy it but im going to refuse the package when it comes tomorrow lol.

by the way does the store myer emco have this dmm by any chance? if i end up getting it ill post back on here for more help.
