Re: smell coming from my sub

at the time the head unit was at 10 out of 15, on the amp the bass gain was at the highest it could go. the thing i don't get is the sub can handle up to 2000 rms and the amp can only put out 1000rms. the setting i don't know about is the imput level i should put it on? thanx

turn the bass on the amp and the headunit to 0, then set the amp input level to halfway. The thing is, an amp can easily produce twice it's rated power when pushed into heavy clipping like that.
