  6. New Plan For My System

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by Graph1cz

    can i suggest stay away from sony amps, i got one and it blew smoke after 5 hours of play not even turned up all the way, get a hifonics amp much better then sony and a great bang for the buck

    i've had this sony for almost 2 years now and it has never overheated or anything on me.

    heres another question

    should i get a lvl 3 15" DC or a 15" cvr? dc is more expensive but i think it'd be worth it. of course i'd need a new amp

    sounds good

    kicker does like higher tuning, 37 should be great.

    if you didnt buy the wire yet shop around, jl is one of the most expensive, but not necessarily the best. as long as you're finding the same diameter of copper and it's flexible enough to work with, wire half the price will be just as good.

    as far as positioning, none of us will know what works best. some vehicles like sub back port side, or sub up port up, sub back port up, etc.

    my vote is sub back port back, usually the best in my experience, closely followed by sub up port back

    build it, test it, spin it around and face it in every direction and see what is loudest and go from there., use a reference song that is the same volume and note, and same volume on the h/u obviously, something like "ay bay bay" or " a milli"

    then again, remember that acoustics are funky, and what is loudest at say 40hz, could be the worse at 32hz

    and set a subsonic filter if you can, with your tuning and loading in the rear it should still play like 30hz with ease, go much below that at high volume and you're going to find out what unloading a subwoofer does.

    well im going to have a bass remote basically on the equalizer so i was going to use that to control songs like put on, in the hood, love of money etc.

    buying all that i posted is going to cost around 600$ without the box. Im aiming more towards being loud and having sq. would this setup be nice?

    positive power wire? or positive speaker wire? and by jump it you mean put the two together in the remote turn on hole?

    Sry, I thought I knew a lot of this stuff, but I've NEVER heard of this method

    put a small wire from your 12+ to your remote and itll be like a constant remote, amp wont turn off just see if itll play that way/turn on that way

    update: I turned all the settings the other way, apparently I had the gain maxed out lol... I was confused and thought .2 was less than 6. I guess not though. Anyways, I got it to turn on and not go into protect while music was playing (car was off) So I turned the car on, and it didn't turn on. The big Crunch light didn't light up...

    Why isn't this working?

    could temperature be an issue? could my remote wire be messed up? the wire looked a little bad... maybe ill restrip it..

    it shouldnt be getting hot if you're not playing it

    try restripping the remote or replacing the wire completely

    check ground also and rca

    dont mix the explods with the rockfords, either go with 2 or 4 of the same kind, make your own box im sure somebody on the forum would help you draw up plans and get some power to them, what kinda of vehicle? and those explods did not pull 2k watts from an amp and that amp didnt push 2k watts

    oh yea and welcome to SMD

    i didnt see that he wanted to ADD the rf's i thought he wanted to replace them. but yeah definetly get rid of the xplodes.

    this is the reason he gave me the truck man...im not abusin it im trying to see what the problem is. he said its never done it before so he gave it to me to check out and im postin up everywhere to see if someone has an anser.

    electrical is completely stock....there were some funny smells for a little bit last week when another friend re-wired the subs, and btw i have no clue how they are wired.

    but other than that nothing

    i still think its because his voltage is dropping low. Or the amp is touching a ground of something else grounded to the car. my cousin had a cap and installed it grounded it to the body of the car and if he turned it up it would cut everything out. make sure the ground is good and if he has a cap then to make sure that ground is good.

    im learning more and more that kicker doesnt like low tune

    most cvr boxes ive seen are 40-43hz, kicker prefabs are like 42 or something, imo at 28hz you're wasting alot of space on a port and lowering output, try for 34 atleast.

    should make a lil noise=)

    really wanted some good 15's for a cheap price and cvrs are really good for my taste, my friends 2 12" cvrs in a kicker ported box beats down on 700 rms total. I wanted 28 hz for a cheap GP lol

    a buddy of mine had the same setup except he didnt let me build him a box had a shitty prefab and it wasnt that bad could definately been louder so you should hit pretty nice

    is that 500rms a piece?

    yup 500a peice.
