How to set it
If it doesn’t go to plan
Not sure what impedance you ended up at?
It finds your ohms from your coils and how many subs you have.
Not wired up yet?
It draws your subs coil by coil. Then it walks you through every terminal.
This tool gives you a starting target. It uses the numbers you enter. Check your amp and sub power
ratings before you set gain. A clipped signal can kill a voice coil in seconds. That damage is
not covered by warranty.
