Skar 800.1
American Bass XO 1244 dual 4 ohm 400 watt rms
I have the subs wired to 1 ohm. Calculation says I need to set at 28.28v to be at 800 watts.
When I try and set the gain with the DMM using a 50hz tone it has me setting at before half way on the gain with the speakers attached to get the 28.
If I try reading w/o the speakers wired it has me around 1/3 of the way up to be at 28.
For the hell of it I tried reading it at Max w/o speakers and it reads at 55.5v.
Max with speakers it reads ~38.78. So I set it to the 28.28 with them hooked up and they sound kinda pitiful.
What am I doing wrong?? In my mind this amp should be at 800 watts around max gain not before half way.
I've had regular Rockford 12s on 300 watts sound better in a trunk. I mean I know these aren't top of the line but 400 watt rms in a hatchback should be shaking something not a slight tickle.
