Oh I forgot I have seen some posts about a pac convertor -15 or -35 which one do I need? what is the difference in them?

 

Just got my B2 from the Ups man today as well, also curious to the settings. Waiting on the sni-35 and Moto 602's to show up. From what I have read I am guessing HPF, turn it to about 80 on the dial for the bypass. I am going to use my volt meter for the gain to about 24.49 volts, (please correct me if I am wrong, seems a little high to me).

 

Hi,

Using a volt meter will not tell you how much distortion, just overall power. Using a stock HD radio I would worry a little about that high of voltage. In theory it would be correct for that amp making 150 watts into a 4 ohm speaker (as per the amp spec) but in the real world you do need to worry about how clean your input signal is, and the stock HD radio is a pretty bad source.

You can compensate for some of the distortion by setting the HPF higher, we normally recommend 60-80hz with an aftermarket radio but have some guys looking for the loudest volume possible on a stock radio setting it to 100hz. There is a trade-off in low end with this high of HPF setting but it will give you a higher volume on the road when using the stock radio.

You could also set the gains by ear, I think that is safer because you can hear the distortion. On a stock radio once you go past about 70% volume it gets pretty bad. I usually set the bass and treble to flat, the amp gain all the way down, crank up a good CD to just before it sounds bad (usually about 70%), and then turn up the gains as high as it will stay clear. Sometimes you will need to go back and fourth a couple times to get it.

Same converter. Only the 35 gives you 5 more watts of input per channel.

 

Thank you, i do appreciate it. Depending on how the 602's sound in the Rushmore pods i might be looking in your direction for the 7.1's with the pod removal bracket. Ideally i would have liked to go with the the 7.1/2180/14' package, but was a little out of the price range right now with some home improvements goin on, i hope i don't regret that decision lol.

 

I have recv'd the PAC convertor, how the hell does it connect to the amp?

 

Connect the wire leads to your radio speaker wire. Connect the other end to the amp using RCA cables. Your almost there man!

 

Here is my problem the input connector for the amp 4 way plug and has two rca plugs, female style the converter has6 wires which I understand but the rca plugs on the converter are also female?

 

Yep. Now u need an actual RCA cable To connect them.

 

Finally installed my Cerwin Vega b2 amp And the Biketronics 7p1 speakers, all I can just the few moments of running it is Holy Shiite it is loud !! I haven't even set up the amp yet. Too dark out and my neighbors are to close, have to do it tomorrow!!
