did that maybe I gave you the wrong settings who knows Ill just go back to the money pit and let them asses tune it again tomorrow
Lol, just takes time man. Don't be in a hurry. If you turn the dial slowly on the frequency knob, you should be able to tune it by ear. Just listen for what you want it to sound like, then boom, there you go.
-
yes both wires go to the battery they were supposed to put 4 guage on both amps Whant amp would u suggest the T1500 or the 1000 if I was to go to CVT 12s I do belive I could put at least 1 more 10 in that box without cutting into the port When I messed with the amps to get the settings for ghost I somehow changed the settings now the bass sounds like shit 4 sure .Like I said I know 0 about this subject
Does your HU have a built in crossover? If you changed the frequency on the amps and it sounds worse, just change the settings back to the way they were before.

I'm in agreement with most people on this, get a new/different job. Last time I checked, the restaurant business didn't pay that much, which is why I don't do that anymore. I don't know how old you are, but you can work at any plant/warehouse like UPS, home remodeling store like Home Depot, or even Wal-Mart and make more money.

not charging to tune but seems like everytime I go in there they want to sell me more stuff and I buy it and I cant tell the difference in sound just wanted to get another opinion on it so you think Ive got the right amp for the bass how about if I take the other side of the box and put 2 more 10s in it I got room in the box for it but if I do that wil I need to getg a bigger amp or just put another one on the 2 I buy like the 1 I got??
If you have enough room for 1 or 2 more subs to be put in the box, then I know for a fact your box is too big. Get a smaller box, or if you happen to have enough room and don't mind considering this whole scenario as an L and a learning experience, then get (2) 12s or (2) 15s. What are they trying to sell you more of?

I just checked out the specs and features of your head unit. How do you have the subwoofer amp connected? You only have 2 sets of outputs on that radio.
-
what if it doesnt say is theree one thats safe to assume?
Some rated at 12, 12.5, 12.8, 13.8, 14, 16, 17 volt. Best way if it's not listed and you don't know anyone with experience on a particular amp, then call the manufacturer or check their website.

the mids are were screaming before I took it in this last time they did something to it that made it lower clarity is fine no distortion when I turn it all the way up
bass amp settings is Infrasonic Filter off Punch EQ 3/4 way up HZ looks to be just over 65 gain at 5
front side on the mid amp is set to AP Punch EQ 1/4 way up HZ 240 gain is set to 6
rear side on the mid amp is set to AP Punch EQ 3/4 HZ 125 gain set to 6
Dont know the size of box my little boy tore my tape measure up but it looks to be 4 foot long 1.5 foot wide and its tapered with the width starting about 8 inches and tapering of to 2 or 3 in
Your settings appear to be off for your highs. Turn the sub off/bass down, or unplug the RCAs to troubleshoot the highs. Turn the volume about half way up, and play with the settings on the amp until you get the sound you want. Don't mess with the gain, just the frequency settings on the amp. Does your radio have a built in EQ and/or crossover? I'm not familiar with Kenwood HUs. If so, scratch changing the settings on the amp and switch to full mode for the front and rear channels and set everything from the head unit. As far as your subs are concerned, like someone else stated, that box sounds WAY TOO BIG for (2) 10s. You probably won't get the punch you want until you get a smaller box. 10s can hit hard, really hard, if they're in the right box.
P.S. Is this local retailer charging you money just to look at and "tune" your system when they did the initial install???

WHATS UP??
I was needing some help with the system I just put in my truck.I know 0 about this stuff I had it installed at a car audio shop but I dont think iots putting out the kind of sound it should. Ive been back several times to where it was installed but they just keep giving me the run around and every time I go in there I end up spending more money and my system never sounds any different. I just wanted to know what yall thought about it and maybe give me some tips on tuning it myself or if I need more suff let me know that as well. This is the stuff Ive had installed its in a 2006 Chevy 2500HD extended cab.
Kenwood Excelon KDCX692
Boston 6.5 SX60 (tweeters and all) in the front doors
Kicker 5.25 in the back doors
Amps for the highs is a Rockford Fosgate P4004 2ohm
subs are 2 kicker CVT 10s in a custom box the speakers are side by side behind the drivers seat with the box extending all the way across with a air hole behind the passenger seat
amp for the subs is a Rockford Fosgate T5001 the new smaller kind
Everythigs hooked up with 4 guage wire
Im tired of spending money on this but if I need more let me know its better to have a opinon from someone whos not trying to sell you something
Several questions... 1.)When you say not putting out sound like it should, do you mean volume, bass, or clarity?
2.) Measure your box and tell me what size it is-L x W x D.
3.) What do you have the settings on the amp at?
4.) Do you hear any distortion at all when you turn it up?

I'm not a big fan of Kicker. I'll just leave it at that.

"Edited for uselessness"

Most likely the battery then.
-
No one from this forum went to Carlisle this past weekend?
-
I would say the battery, also. Do you still have any car audio equipment connected? If so, could be voltage drops causing your computer system to go haywire. Happened to me.
-
Better check Ebay.
-
This knocks...
-
He said 400 for both.
That's what I thought I read. These still for sale? I sent you a PM.
-
I think I'm dyslexic, or retarded. Do you want $400 for the pair, or $800?
-
Wow, still didn't post the year of the sub. This is turning into a classic thread.
-
RMS = 1500 watts
SPL ratings = not useful for sub bass drivers
Thanks, but I'd still like to know what it is.

Where are the specs for the Nightshades listed on your site? I don't see them anywhere.

What are you selling the subs for, and what size/model are they? Err, are they gone?
