How do i adjust my amp for my subs?

Question

one of my friends messed with it to give me more power to my subs but now when i raise the volume to high it goes to protection and i don't know what he did. how can i adjust it so it doesn't do that anymore. and when i adjust it where should i put the bass and treble setting from the dash at? plz. help....

Answer 1

He probably increased the gain and it is now too high.

Answer 2

turn the gain down and (or) turn off the sub sonic bass if its on the amp

Answer 3

just turn down the gain all the way and turn the stereo back up until its where u were at when it was cutting off and then turn ur gain up slowely until u get to where u want to be or until it goes into protection mode again and then u know that was too much....be careful though...u might have the subs wired at 2 low of an ohm and when u turn up the stereo the louder it gets, the more likely it will go into protection mode that way too....get a ohm meter an test ur wiring just to make sure....good luck...i usually put my bass on the lowest it can go cause i have my subs for that job and i keep my mids at about 5 or 6 and the highs about 6 or 7
