I have no idea why the colors changed. I do however see a mistake in your set up. Turn that bass boost all the way down, and never use that again, even if your life depended on it. As well, set the gain properly, try to find someone local with a DD-1 or an O scope, if not, use the DMM method and set it conservatively just in case. If not, you will continue to have sub problems.

Sundown SCV-3000

Yeah just make sure that it is tuned properly regardless. Going under 12v is risky, especially if you are going under 12v because of the lack of power to supply the demand. -

Your wiring is up to bar, you have stock alt as well? If that is the case you don't have enough power to feed it fully. Get that alternator changed out and you won't have anything to worry about. Until then though just try not to go under 12v volts. -

How does you wiring look? And what batteries are you running? -
When i say "simple", i say that because i didn't go full loop on the liquid cooling again (YET). The last one really held me back when it was "upgrade" time. When the cards are on air, they are so easy! When they have hoses coming off them and water blocks bolted to them (and bolted together), it becomes a bitch. I have been wanting new cards since the 980's were out. I do want to run another custom loop because there is no denying how cool your cards stay compared to air. Especially if you overclock everything like i do. But i want to wait for the next latest greatest to come out first. I want to enjoy an easy upgrade at least one more time before i lock myself in for life by hooking up hoses lol. As simple as it is, it really gets the job done lol...and i thought i would never give my baby away to anyone. It was my pride and joy. It is now Antheny's. Team badass #hammydown ftw. That makes a lot more sense now lmao. I had plans on throwing some water into my set up but never did. If I ever where to have to swap them out, you go it right, would be very easy when they are on air.

SCV3000D running 3 X-12's?
RooTxBeeR replied to JR Yonts's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
Ive already got a XS power battery and have the Big 4 with 1/0 wire, so I think it can take it. You should have no problem then running that. Those subs will be begging for more though. How did everyone figure out that .66. I have only ever used 12volt and could never find anything I would understand for formulas to figure out how to do what ever configuration I wanted. -

And .67 ohms. You forgot to math before you spoke. Isn't series/parallel the way to get the lowest with dual 4's? Which would be 2.67. I didn't do math, used a website, cry more or be butthurt somewhere else. -

Only problem is, is that you would be starving them for power. 3 dual 4 ohm subs can only be wired to 2.67 and 6 ohms. You will barely have enough power for 1 sub let alone 3. An scv3k runs 1500 at 2 ohms and you would be just over that, then throw some rise in there and yeah. Somewhere between 1k-1.5k give or take. I was going to be running a very similar setup, 3 x 12's with a same sized alt and 4 xs power xp3k's. Debating on Dual 1 ohms to wire to .67 or Dual 2's to run at 1.34. I think thinking of staying on the safe side since to power them suffieciently I don't think a 280a alt can do 4k-6k watts at below 1 ohm. So I am in the search of an amp or amps to get me at least 5k near 2 ohm.
