What are the faults of having the amp gain and LPF set to the maximum, Could this be bad for the amplifier? It could be bad for your speakers depending on the amplifier. >What are the faults of having the amp gain and LPF set to the >maximum, Could this be bad for the amplifier? > What are the faults of having the amp gain and LPF set to the > maximum, Could this be bad for the amplifier? I'm assuming that LPF is "low pass filter" and not "liquid petroleum fuel." The question I have to ask you is "Why are you maxing-out your amp's gain and low-pass filter? Neither one of these are meant to be used as volume knobs. -dan > > What are the faults of having the amp gain and LPF set to the > > maximum, Could this be bad for the amplifier?

But i turned the gain up to max and the bass sounds alot better but i didn't want to keep it at max til i got advice from somebody who knows what to do Hi Trey, I think Dan's point is that it's important to not have anything in your system turned *all* the way up as it can cause increased noise and less overall dynamic range in your system. If I remember correctly, there's a tutorial on the JL Audio site on how to set gains in your system...

If the mid-range speaker could do a better job, then set it to 80 Hz -- z28com |
