What should I ground my amp to in my car?

The best way to ground your car stereo components is to run a 10 or 12-gauge wire from the amp, and 12-gauge from all other components, such as head unit and active crossovers, to a central location. Then run a single ground to the best source of ground, the negative terminal on your car’s battery.

What should I set my HPF and LPF to?

You usually set the HPF with a steep slope say 24db/octave because you are trying to protect the sub from damage and a 12-18db/octave on the LPF because you want it to kinda “blend” in with your mids. The steeper the slope (db/octave) the less your sub will creep into the neighboring frequencies.

How big can an amp get in dB?

Since doubling the distance from a source drops the level by 6 dB (just like when you double the amplitude of a sound you increase it by 6 dB), moving away from speaker any distance would drop those levels substantially. Does a Connie (or assuming other 4xEL84 amps) at max clean power at 8 feet away with a 100 dB speaker sound like 97 dB?

How loud can a Super Bass amp get in dB?

FWIW, my Radio Shack meter (maybe even the same one) measured my cranked Marshall Super Bass through an Orange 4×12 at 127dB from ~1 meter away. In rehearsals, I find the optimum SPL to lie between 110-115, depending on how many beers the drummer has had.

Do you need to increase the bass on a car amplifier?

If you’re the type of person who likes chest-thumping, window-rattling bass coming from your car’s sound system, then you need to increase the bass boost setting of your amplifier. Do take note that this can be quite tricky, and will also place a lot of stress on your sub-woofer.
