  1. Tried to find my specific issue via forums and google but no dice. If I test my headunit (Pioneer 80PRS) for distortion via rcas everything works as expected and I end up with vol 57/60 showing clean. I tried testing via the alternate method, through the amp and I can't get a signal or 40hz light but the distortion light does come on at vol 53/60. I've reread the manual and triple checked all settings, xover, filter etc. I cannot get a signal or 40hz light with the gain of the amp all the way down as the manual suggests. As soon as I turn the gain up at all the signal and 40hz turn on. Should I just go with the headunit only method and ignore the results I'm getting through the amp? Any idea why it doesn't work through the amp as the manual recommends? Thanks
  2. With everything turned off, no vibration wind or noise. The ohms would be stable unless both subs were in the box together. Again no power, movement or noise. Ohms stable on the DMM in all tests until both subs are in the box together and then it gets erratic. I've compared this to a friends 4 12's box and his stays stable. Something isn't right.
  3. Update: I checked the ohm load from the speaker wires at the amp and its bouncing all over the place from 0.0 to 4.0. After much trial and error I found out that if both subs are in the box the ohms go crazy but if only one sub is in the box or both are out its stable. Apparently they are fighting each other somehow?
  4. Maybe it is. Or maybe there is another issue causing the problem. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
  5. No it hasn't shut down. The smell is what worries me. Afraid if I'm burning glue off the coil its only a matter of time before it unwinds and I'm out the $$$.
  6. I've got 2 (dual 1 ohm) psi platform one 15's running on the CAB 22 at 1 ohm. Source is a pioneer 80prs. All in a 2004 Tahoe. The subs are brand new (not broken in) and the electrical is stock. I've already ordered a xs power d3400 and a mechman 320 amp alt, just waiting on delivery. The problem is the cones warming up, the left side of the amp warming up (rca/settings side) and the slight funky smell coming from the port. This only happens when I turn it up and really send it. Checked all the coils and they are exactly 1.0 ohm, made sure wiring was correct (using the diagram on 12volt website), I'm watching the clip light so I don't think its clipping. They are rated 1000 rms each and I doubt the cab is putting out a full 2000 (stock elec and rise) so they shouldn't be overpowered. Would the subs being new and the stock elec cause this or where else would I look? The cones warming up makes me think clipping or overpowering but neither seem likely given the clip light and the ratings of the amp/subs. Thanks in advance EDIT: Gain is at 1/4th, no boost, subsonic 25, lpf 80, HU sub out is at 0, EQ bass is turned down -1
  7. I bought this sub years ago and forgot about it. Came across it in storage and thought it'd be fun to hook it up. Going to build a custom box for it just need the specs. Google was not helpful. Appreciate any insight you all can give me. I can take more pics if needed.
