This procedure is a very much sought after topic with amplifiers being as big and bad as they are today. It's easy to get an amplifier that does way too much for your subs and you need to turn down that amp so you don't burn out a voice coil.

There is so much room for error in this method IMO. There are too many variables including impedance rise. That's why I've set my amps by ear for over 25 years. I've used this method a few times to try it and there was always performance left on the table that I could hear but on paper it doesn't equate. To each their own I suppose. You did explain the method well. Good video.

That's the only thing I do differently. Leave everything set the way you like it to sound. EQ, loudness, any dynamic bass enhancers....if you have a bass knob turn it to max output, get it all sounding like you want with the sub disconnected. Then do this procedure and adjust gain up until it clips, then back off a touch. If you do it with EQ flat and everything turned off and bass knob turned down the moment you turn anything up at all you're straight into clipping. A flat eq sounds like trash, you gotta tune it to where it sounds good. I use this guy's method with a scope so I'm not guessing if the output is clipping or not. You can see it. That's the other problem doing it with a multimeter like this. It gives you correct power but not clean power. kzread.info/dash/bejne/moWDsrJmnJanfdI.html

Look your amplifier has built in eq which is low pass and high pass. You can't set eq on your head unit and your amp. It has to be 1or the other or your clipping! Do some more research. Even though your scoop might say different. Your still clipping trust me. Your coils will burn🔥

@jamesg8246

@@bassjunkie2020 You're not listening or comprehending. A low pass or high pass filter is not an EQ. I suggest you do some more research. Nobody listens to their music with a flat eq. It sounds like shit. If you set your amp at maximum output BEFORE making any sound adjustments on the head unit you will be straight clipping the moment you run anything above a flat eq. So you should tune your system with your eq first. Then with an oscilloscope check what volume your head unit clips at with the settings you want set. Then tune amp gain with oscilloscope until it clips and back off a touch. This way no matter how far you turn it up, you will not clip. I tune every level of mine with an oscilloscope and can guarantee using the method I linked to, and a oscope, you can't clip. Period.

And I did and everything worked fine. But if your worried about it. Just plug one up to input. The 2nd is just to send signal to a 2nd amp. Because you can strap full range amos. But you can chain them and gain match. Hope this helps. Also goto Taramps web page and there is contact info at bottom of page. Email them and ask them about it. That's what I did!

No You can use both rcas as input. But if you have 2 sub amps you can get a Y - Splitter to hook 2 amps! Nice feature! In that case use the top rca for your main then use out put rca for 2nd sub amp! Saves running 17' 0f rcas to head unit! I mean you can always buy a rca distribution block. Which with a distribution block you can run either 4 sub amp or 2 4 channel amps!👍😁💯

This is apparently not the way to set the Amp Gain. Big D and Sam Vernard from Barevids have done a thorough video on this. And Taramps even say that, the load has to be connected whilst you set the gain. As it has an Artificial Rail Cap, when the load is connected as opposed to the way BassJunkie is doing it in the video. Normally you would set it without the load. But in this instance for these amps, especially the Smart 3K you will have to get the load connected. Now the Question is, how would you do that, with Subwoofers, which are rated below 3k wrms? The answer, take it to a pro, or do the formula and get your value, play your test tone, 40hz -5db. And turn the gain up whilst your subwoofers are connected until you reach the desired voltage. I dont want to step on your toes man, as i watch your content alot. But with this Smart 3K, the load must be connected whilst you adjust the gain.

@bassjunkie2020

Not sure that is correct. Because ive had 9 Taramps amplifiers and set them like i did in video. Never had problem. Long as you set voltage to the number you come up with. Then you will be fine. I don't think it's very smart to have subs hooked up running continuous test tone through your subs. Doesn't sound like a good idea.

Ok let me make sure I have your info correct 1st. You have a 600rms sub dual 4ohm wired in parallel? To the amp to make it 2ohms? You have the HD 3000 1ohm. And @ 2ohm's that amp little over 2000rms. Which would be way to much for your 600 rms sub. Like I say in the video. Go by the lowest rms 1st! Set it by the 600 × 2ohm =1200 now square root of 1200 is 34.64 volts. Now after you get that. Plug your subs back in and set your low pass and high pass where you want it. Go play a song you know that doesn't clip. Turn it up till you hear distortion. If it isn't loud enough. Then turn the gain down a little to make it louder. But for more loud bass you can turn it up some. But you risk clipping because that sub is only rated 600 rms. Some subs are under rated and can do more. You just have to know your subs limit. The other thing you can do is think about getting a xfl or something like that. They are 1500 rms and can take the 3k well. I mean atleast 2000 rms of it. Hope this helps👍😎💯
