PBR 300x2 settings question
That is why I was asking. Thanks for the feedback. I would imagine this could be a reason a lot of people get distortion as well.

Instructions say gain at 0, turn up volume to distortion then back off a little, turn up gain to distortion then back off a little.
Nothing scientific with my settings. I just played with it until it sounded great.
Fwiw - 300x2 RF, Infinity Kappa 62.11s, and magic box.
It screams.
My gain is set right around 5. (also 11:00 o'clock position if you use the slit as the guide.) Mine is set at AP, and seems a bit basey I will try the HP setting and set the frequency around 80 mhz.
If you go to the Audio forum there is a sticky at the top on how to set the gains by ear and with a digital multi meter. I used the meter for my settings. The instructions are there as different speakers and radio will play a part in the settings.
There are lots and lots of posts on this set up the OP has and how to set the gains etc over there.

Being that the bassier notes are lower in frequency means that they sustain longer, or more simply put, that they take longer to to travel. This ultimately means the amplifier must expend a lot of time and energy boosting this portion of the audio spectrum, power that is being robbed from the more sonic or higher audio frequencies. Anything below about 100 Hz you cannot really hear, it is more of a thump that you 'feel,' and is in the subsonic range. Given all that, you really don't want to waste all that potential amplifier power trying to slowly, and with great effort, move your speaker cones to something you can't hear anyhow.
If you crave the heavy thudding from your music then it is best to add a separate dedicated woofer and bass amp (set to LP of course.) This will free up your main amp for HP, or 'music only' amplification and your additional bass amp, when set to LP, will only spend its energy on sustaining those power robbing lowest frequency notes.
Additionally, this is why some amps and radios tend to distort when you have your bass set up high, you have no more amplifier energy left to move the higher audio ranges. All that amplifier power is spent boosting the bass, thus clipping and distorting the rest of the music. You've probably noticed that as you turn your bass level down the music becomes clearer, this is the reason why.

I have the Kicker CS 6.75 speakers and the RF300 amp no flash
Did the same exact install on a friends bike, sounds awesome
Stuffed the speaker pods also.
