In this video I show you how to set your gains on a 4-channel amplifier using an Oscilloscope. I go through all the possible configurations and show you how to tune the amp for mids and highs in addition to setting subwoofer gains with an oscilloscope.

I have a 2ohm 800 watt car subwoofer setup, running a 1500.1 D amplifier. However, my amplifier max voltage is 6 volts and I need 6.7 volts to make 800 watts (goes over a bit). According to my equation. Can I set my LOC2 at 6.7 volts and be fine or have to stay at 6 volts and calculate that extra .7 volts to my 40 volt (makes 800 watts) setting on the amplifiers gain?
Been learning so much from you and your vids, thank you for your time and effort!
Got a request: I’m someone who has a factory head unit, an Audiocontrol Lc2i, an Audiocontrol bass restorer, and an aftermarket amplifier. I’m sure I’m not the only one with the extra bells and whistles :)
Can you please teach us where to start checking for clipping, and where to go after each step until we’re done tuning for clipping?
Thanks again brother!!
