I just purchased the following;
(2) Rockford Fosgate P3 12" subs 4 ohm
(1) Rockford Fosgate T1500.1 BD
(1) Rockford Fosgate T400-4 (for highs & mids)
Rockford Fosgate 0/1 Awg wiring kit
Rockford Fosgate 4 Awg wiring kit
Rockford Fosgate RCAS
Rockford Fosgate Big 3 wiring kit
(4) Infinity Kappa 93ix 6x9s (front & rear doors)
Pioneer AVH2500NEX Double din head unit
Fox Acoustics DQC-212-V ported subwoofer enclosure w/ upgraded power terminals. (Read several reviews about this box before making the purchase. Everything I read was great feedback and news considering the limited space that I have to work with under the rear seat of my 2017 ram 1500 quad cab. Supposedly if you are looking to put a mean system (which I am) in this particular vehicle, this is hands down the best/only box to go with. Worth paying the extra money. I have yet to install this set up, it will all be going in this weekend and I am super stoked. Ready to pound on everyone <img src="><img src="> #SikCarAudio#BassInPeaceGato

@Currency 480 Welcome to the forum!
If you would like assistance with your Fox Acoustics box please refer to creating your own thread > press the create button at the top right next to your name and select the appropriate section (in this case Equipment > Subwoofers / Enclosures.
- I've ran those P3D4 12s before and you've got a nice amp and wiring kit for a great install. However, I don't see any upgraded electrical items (batteries or alternators). You will definitely want to upgrade at-least to a secondary rear reserve battery.

I doubt it's the equipment and I'm sure it's more my understanding of how this works.
Step one, trying to determine the maximum volume before distortion on my head unit. Output RCA is plugged directly in to the DD-1+. Everything is set to flat. Crossovers on the head unit set to "Through". If I go MAX volume, Kenwood DMX906S, which goes to 40, I get zero distortion being detected, but the RMS V is still 0.0.
Also, it seems Unless I go to MAX volume, the tone isn't detected until around volume 39.
Does that seem right? The head unit claims to have 5v outputs. Something doesn't feel right.
Thanks
Weird. Are all RCA connections in the back of the headunit snug? are they in the right orientation, as in one pair of RCAs in each L/R of a channel?
Do you have any kind of muting of RCA channels as an option in the headunit? Mine can mute anyone I want but it doesn't make it abundantly clear at first.

From my understanding you either run a trunk setup sealed fired into cabin or not sealed fired backwards (trunk lid) for optimal SPL.
I would favor sealed fired into cabin since it lessens the rattles but that's just me.
As far as your question about stacking specific types of sound deadener you might get some insight from @Second Skin they know their stuff.

Were the P3 15s sealed? You might be suprised at the output of two SA12s ported instead of 15s sealed

Good shit!
Whats the max power these terminals could take ?

Probably looks like every other 4-5k amp made
Wanted to see the shape it was in, assuming it’s preowned

Have any pics of it ?

There is a clipping light in it thats why i ask
I didn’t even see that. Maybe @audiofanaticz can chime in. He sells some of these meters

The purpose of this tool is to enable the user to:
- Measure True Amplifier Power output into any load reactive or resistive
- Measure Common DC voltages
- Measure DC voltage drops during quick transients on cable runs or battery / charging systems
- Measure Impedance of speakers at any power or frequency from 20Hz - 1kHz (box rise)
- Measure Phase Difference between Voltage and Current into reactive loads (Power Factor)
- Find Tuning Frequency of subwoofer enclosures
- Tune subwoofer enclosures for maximum power transfer
- Measure AC Volts (amplifier output)
- Measure AC Amps (amplifier output)
- Measure apparent power (VA) output, Phase Angle, and Real Power (Watts) of audio amplifier, or consumption of appliances that run on AC power
- Measure Frequency of a Sine Wave

Nothing about distortion detection from what I can tell

Sundowns good. Use to wonder what the hype was but then I got a pair of their subs.... gotta say I’m on the sundown train now (atleast subs) can’t say anything about their amps
-
Rockford prime 500.1 with a single 12.
-
Uhh my manual says this "5. Using included harness, connect DD-1 to output of amplifier. Connect the red harness lead to the Left Speaker (+) terminal, connect the black to Left Speaker (-). "
Not amplifier ground, I have no clue where you got that from

That was what Forrest at Rockford recommend when we called him was 4.5 to 5 cube and I personally told him the t1500bdcp so was he thinking set the gain with 0 overlap I really wish I had asked him.
He must have had a reason for telling you that, can't say I know why.
Safer side would be the 0 overlap so I would give that a try, and if you don't hear any bottoming out then you could keep it or tune it with -2.5 overlap and check for any bottoming out once again.
-
5 cubic net sealed box? Seems pretty big for those subs
Those P3s call for 1.58 cubes per, so 3.16 cubes, +/- some if you want to have the suspension move easier, but I think 5 cubes might cause them to bottom out especially with over rated power.

Some people charge weekly, some biweekly, some everyday.
Does your voltage dip really low? If not weekly or biweekly should be fine. If you dip below 13.6 I’d charge it as soon as you can

You'll be fine. Hook the charger up and go
Alright thanks

I have a D5100R in the front under hood and a D3400 in my rear. Can I hook up the xs charger to the front battery and charge both at the same time? or should I charge each separately like I have been doing?
At the same time I mean leaving the two connected via two runs of 1/0 fused and grounded through the cars frame to each other with the xs charger pos/neg cables connected to the front or rear battery only.
Just wondering if it'll be okay or if itll cause the charging cycle to mess up.
Cheers.

you’d have to take the panels off youtube has tons of tutorials just get a pair of panel tools you’ll be set

Sorry you didn’t specify if you had a 4 channel. One option is to disconnect the speakers at the speaker terminals and I think that is one of the only ways to do it with a oem Headunit. The tweeters likely have a crossover so you could just unhook the mids and use the 40hz test tone to tune the amp.
How are you getting your signal for the sub amp? Rear speakers ? Line output converter ? High level inputs ?

Congrats to the winners. I like how you made a video showing you picking the winners!

When you use the dd1 you should unhook all speaker outputs from the amps regardless if it’s sub or a 4 channel for mids and highs
