I just found this a year after you posted it. This is THE BEST, & MOST ACCURATE description of properly setting amp gains during installation that I've seen on YT. Awesome job. I subscribed, now I need to check your posts for one where one might have a DSP between the radio & amp and how you would set gains in that scenario. Appreciate your work.

Super cool of you to help people out and rent tools like that. Im subscribed and really looking forward to the video that shows what all the different flashes do to the tune. I have the flash tool, but hate that I can't see what there doing. I keep going back and forth between soundz and kicker tune. They seem to sound the best for my setup.

Hey jay I just ordered a DD-1 so I’ll be able to set me gain’s properly on my 07 street glide. My question is I haven’t ordered my cut kit yet from y’all but I DID get my new amp from sinister and my precision power 6x9’s from you. Can I go ahead and run the speaker wires and set the gain for the rear 6x9’s without the speakers being installed yet? I don’t need the Harley plugs cause I have a aftermarket aquatic av head unit. Thanks brother! Your service is amazing!!

Thanks for the video. Just bought your Soundstream SG9813. I have a Sound Digital 800.4 already installed audio shop professionally set to an Aquatic AC head unit. I can play it easily without distortion a volume 30 out-of-40. When i install the head unit, you think i will have to set the gain again? It is set low and i just want the same sound.
@volunteeraudio

The Soundstream radio is clean to volume 50, that is where amp gains should be set to max unclipped output

​​​​​@@volunteeraudioThanks for responding Jay. To be clear, I should not have to reset the gain since the Soundstream is clear? I would like to add that I can play it louder, but I play it on 30 normally as my max My set up is two diamond 6x9s, two 6.5 yellow baskets, and 800.4 with no DSP.

Quick question for you, if you have a set of 8s - Cicada CM8.2 (1000w/500RMS pair or 250rms per) for the lowers with 65Hz-20k frequency would you recommend still using the -1kh -10db test tone? Or could you go lower seeing they are not 6x9s that I assume you are referencing in the bags and should get more bass?

One more question. You talk about bass and treble settings. What settings do you recommend? I have mine set at 0 and 0 but the treble being at zero is right at the borderline “muffle”
@volunteeraudio
@volunteeraudio 2 жыл бұрын
We set eq flat when adjusting the amp, then you turn down what is too much, want more treble, turn down the bass, want more bass, turn down the treble

@@volunteeraudio My customer came to me with a DSR1 installed already wanting me to tune it. He's using it as a LOC with the high level input from the H-D radio since no RCA Outs on his H-D radio. Wouldn't I just use the DSR1's Trim levels to plug DSR1's RCA out into my DD-1 and set that to distortion, then plug those RCA's into his Alpine KTA-450 amp and then continue setting the amp gain as you describe in this video? (assuming setting DSR1 x-over to full and EQ to flat before adjustments)

@@PkwyDrive13 the 400.4 is too small, they do not produce 100 watt rms x 4 but more like 50 watts per channel, with less power your mids produce less bass, tweeters are very efficient and get loud off very little power, a bigger amp will help the tone, also your amp setting may be incorrect as well
