Smoove Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 XL subs are rated to 2200rms so you are running the right amp to it, so the only thing i could think of is you were running it way below tuning and unloading it with that big of a box. infrasonic/subsonic filter is your friend Quote 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasteland_Audio Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 XL subs are rated to 2200rms so you are running the right amp to it, so the only thing i could think of is you were running it way below tuning and unloading it with that big of a box. infrasonic/subsonic filter is your friend Word, my level 6's like to dig low, but i still set the subsonic around 26hz and put a -6db slope at 30hz on my head unit just in case. It sucks having a trunk setup and not being able to hear a sub hitting its mechanical limit tho, may have saved it if he heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbackfan12 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks for all the input guys. I decided to get in touch with DC audio and they stated more than likely one of the coils was burnt as a result of my box being too big so I'm going to have them repair it. Also I did have my infrasonic filter set to the 'on' position but I'm not too sure what frequency that is really set to. But anyways seeing as this is my second time blowing this woofer I'll probably just have to be more attentive to the recommended enclosure size to avoid the headache in the future.

Again T2000 infrasonic filter is at 28hz.

dbackfan12 Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Ah missed that part thank you. My box was tuned close to that at 29 hz so I guess my main issue was my box being too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
