i sent db-r a message, and apparently they no longer repair these amps
but they did recommend that i take it here: Anyone ever hear of them?
At the moment i was running the amp at 1 ohm, i've burped it before at .5 and i know the previous owner was a competitor so i know for a fact it was run at .5 or lower before i got it and that was 4 years ago. Nothing looks burned up, but i did notice that a couple of the caps on the rca end of the amp have black tips, which i never seen before (if it were ink or something), how about you guys take a look (sorry for the quality)
right now i'm f'n broke from bein in school so i dont have any $ to fix it. I can do some minor repairs if it only involves soldering, but till i can figure out whats wrong with it, i have to run my sub at a lousy 200 instead of 2500
...not -
cool, thanks
-
humm, i noticed that n8ball has 4 of these guys, so n8, do you know if the amp has a specific light when it goes into protect? the only light i have now and have had since i've owned this amp is a red light.
-
power light is on (not sure if it has a protect light) what would i be checking for on the output? just ac voltage? cause all i'm gettin is what sounds to be like a dc pop through the sub
-
well, after owning this amp for about 4 years, it finally took a poop today (i think) got in my car started playing at about 1/3 volume, the sub cuts out, and now all i get is a constant click from the sub (about 2 clicks per second) unplugged the rca's, same thing, getting proper voltage at amp. Anyone ever heard of this happening? No burning smell or anything coming from the amp.

Little info

Due tomorrow
thanks!
Global Warming: The Effects on Earth
Did you know that the Earth is warming at a faster pace than ever before? Scientists have been researching for many years and can now conclude that global warming does exist and the future of our planet is at risk. Scientists have also been monitoring the Earth’s climate for many years and understand that global warming exists and its effects are eminent. Many people believe global warming is simply the Earth getting warmer. It is much more than that. Gases cause global warming and, in recent years, there have been more of these gases in the atmosphere due to human activities.
Some individuals may want to know what exactly is global warming. Global warming is the natural process of increasing the sun’s heat around the Earth (“Global Warming”1). Global warming affects our planet in many different ways, but how does it affect us? Global warming can affect humans in several different ways. Right now, we have seen very little change in the Earth’s temperature; so many humans haven’t noticed any type of change. This is because the Earth’s temperature increases at a very slow rate. If we compare today’s rate at which the Earth’s temperature is increasing and compare it to thousands of years ago, scientists notice that the globe is warming at a much faster rate than ever before. The surface temperature increased 1.4 degrees between 1980 and 2000 (Cicerone 1). This leads scientists to believe that humans are speeding up the natural process of global warming.
Global warming causes many changes on the earth but we can help reduce the impact of these effects. One thing the community can help slow the process is to replant trees after logging. This helps reduce the amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere (“Global Warming” 3). Even the food we eat has an impact on global warming. From growth, harvest, processing, and transporting the food, it has a big impact (Rosenthal 1). Reducing the amounts of beef we buy can reduce the effects of global warming. Did you know it takes eleven times more greenhouse gas to produce one pound of beef than it does to produce one pound of chicken (Rosenthal 1)? We also burn fossil fuels from cars, factories, and other substances that emit harmful gases into the atmosphere (Cicerone 1). If we cut down on the amount of fossil fuels we burn, the outlook on our planet would drastically improve.
Greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere also cause global warming. Greenhouse gases are made up of different types of gases, but the most important gas is carbon dioxide. Most of Earth’s natural processes create greenhouse gases but it also destroys them. One example would be when plants and animals decay it produces carbon dioxide. Plants absorb carbon dioxide which helps keep the atmosphere in somewhat stable condition (“Global Warming” 1). Every day the earth releases and absorbs tons of carbon dioxide. Humans burn fossil fuels that give off carbon which add to the amount that is released into the atmosphere (Global Warming 1). Once the gases reach the atmosphere they are trapped which increases the temperature of the Earth. Some of the gases are from natural causes. Recently humans have contributed to this process (“Global Warming” 1).
Gases in the atmosphere trap the heat given off from the sun and prevent the heat from going back into space, which contributes to global warming. This trapping is called the greenhouse effect (“Global Warming”1). The greenhouse effect is a normal process and without it our planet would not be able to sustain life. If the gases in the atmosphere increase, so will the Earth’s temperature, which in turn will make the earth inhabitable for humans in the future. It is very important that we do everything we can to help our planet. One thing we can do is to replant trees. Trees help reduce the amount of carbon that is released into the atmosphere. Loggers chop down trees which give off carbon dioxide but if we replant the trees after we chop them down. The trees will absorb the carbon dioxide that is given off from the other tree (“Global Warming” 1). Aerosols affect the climate by scattering and absorbing solar radiation and changing the properties of clouds, which the damage can be serious. This absorption warms the air instead of the sunlight being absorbed by the surface of the earth causing the temperature of the air to rise (“Global Warming”1).
Some may want to know what affairs are producing greenhouse gases that contribute to the global warming process. There are many things that give off these gases and each can have complicated effects. The growth, harvest, processing, and transportation of food have a giant impact on global warming and produce a lot of greenhouse gas. Many of them are all different types of foods and the pollution made in their production and transportation (“Is Your Lunch Causing Global Warming?” 2). Nearly 25% of greenhouse gas is traced to the food they consume in an industrialized nation. Livestock has a big impact too. There are 37,000 cows in one city in Kansas. They pack the cows in groups of 150 into a giant grid that has pens, which gives the cows room to live. This grid is called a feedlot (“Is Your Lunch Causing Global Warming?” 2).
As we know, beef generates a lot of greenhouse gases and so do the animals. Feedlots reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which slows the process of global warming. Feedlots are so efficient that they have lowered the cost of beef so it is no longer considered a luxury item (“Is Your Lunch Causing Global Warming?” 2). Beef is the worst food to produce because it takes more energy and creates a plethora of greenhouse gas. It takes 11 times more greenhouse gases to produce one pound of beef than it does to produce one pound of chicken. One pound of Beef takes 100 times more greenhouse gases than it does to produce one pound of carrots (“Is Your Lunch Causing Global Warming?” 2).
Many are curious about what will happen to the Earth’s future if we don’t address this issue correctly. Addressing global warming is harder than it sounds. There are so many complicated effects that one problem can have, for an example, logging cuts down trees which give off carbon dioxide and slash is left behind. The slash left behind from logging provides shelter for small animals and if it is burnt it gives off a much more harmful gas (“Global Warming” 3). Records of the globes temperatures show that the Earth is becoming warmer. The averaged surface temperatures show that the Northern and Southern hemispheres increased the fastest (Cicerone.1).
Global warming affects the planet in many different ways and scientists come up with ideas on what will happen in the future. Scientists use computers to predict the effects of a single event. It is difficult for scientists to design a computer program that models the Earth’s complex climate, and is able to predict what will happen (Cicerone. 4). Scientists say: depending on how fast these changes take place the impact may be beneficial to some regions. Yet, the future is still hard to predict, some regions may be able to adapt to the changes if they don’t come to quick.
If the community doesn’t do something to lessen the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere the future will be greatly affected. Humans can reduce the amount of meat we consume which will decrease the amount of gas that enters the atmosphere. Planting trees also helps because it absorbs carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen. Another way that greatly increases the amount of greenhouse gas is to burn less fossil fuel; byproducts of gasoline give off lots of CO2 (Cicerone .1).
Global warming will drastically affect the future generations if humans don’t start cutting back on carbon emissions and greenhouse gases. Global warming is a gigantic part of the Earth’s climate and it affects everything in many different ways (“Global Warming” 3). Greenhouse gases assemble in the atmosphere and trap the suns heat. The heat warms the globe because it is floating around the Earth. Any harmful actions humans take, might have complicated effects on the future. This is why it is extremely important that the community is aware of what is happening to the globe. Humans must be educated about global warming and its effects. There are many ways the community can do to help reduce the impact on global warming and make a better future for generations to come. Scientists design models of the Earth’s atmosphere and use these models to predict the effects of global warming. It is very difficult for scientists to accurately model the Earth. If we continue to pollute the atmosphere with harmful greenhouse gases it will become harder to reverse the affects of global warming.
man made global warming is a myth. scienists have proven time and time again that the earth goes through a regular cycle of warming and cooling. your paper is cool and all, but shouldnt be confused with anything other than fiction.
That is definitely true that the Earth does indeed go through a regular cycle of warming and cooling. However, the rate at which the temperature of the Earth is increasing is much faster than what the norm is, and wouldn't you know it, but the amount of carbon dioxide has a direct correlation with the temperature of the Earth, and we've been creating excess amounts by burning fossil fuels. What a strange coincidence.
Also, due to the increasing temperatures the polar ice caps have been retreating. Not only this, but the albedo affect of ice is far greater than the ocean; meaning that ice reflects far more energy than water does. So as the ice retreats there is an exponential increase in the temperature of surrounding waters.
The Earth is definitely very dynamic, but how far can we push the limits of living sustainably?

That doesn't make any sense...I have never seen single voice coil BTLs...
Hmm maybe Im reading it wrong? Dunno.
Click Here<-- This is the specs for it, I got the n212's
No worries, learning is life.
But the link takes me to the specs, but do not specify D1 or d2. Knowing this will be important when figuring out an amp, and how it is wired.
Yeah theres an option there that lets you select whether its d1 or d2 all the specs are custom made for the buyer and they machine it, then send it.
I know, lol, the point is do you have dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm.
Im soo confused haha, I have no idea.
what are you confused about? The sub has an option of having to coils per sub that have a resistance of about 1 ohm or 2 ohm each.
heres a link to a great site for info, if your not going to be installing these for a while, i suggest you read this sight for many hours to get a hang of whats going on.

if your looking for a decent set of front speakers, i have a set of scosche efx 5.25 component speakers f/s, 40 shipped
-
its very simple, you are drawing way too much current through that small of wire, you need to upgrade to 1/0 with big 3 done and a second battery wouldnt hurt. Running an amp like that under those conditions will fry it.
-
whats your price range? oh, and for wire i would go hereKnu Konceptz wire
look under amp wiring kits
-
damn, if only i had $
-
take a picture of the amp settings
-
the only thing i can think of is that if you have an automatic the load on the engine will make it rev a few hundred rpm lower if it is in gear than if it is out of gear, that extra little bit may be enough to keep your voltage up while in park
-
It could definitely be on the larger side but unless i build the box in the trunk that is the absolute largest enclosure i can fit back there. The guy that build the sub said the sub performs best in a small enclosure with a ton of port, (he recommended 2.4 with 80 sq in but i had to get it to fit)
-
looks good, its awesome that they starting making those x's again, damn good subs for the price, a buddy of mine had 4 of the older 10's off 1600 rms and it got down. What is the enclosure going to be?
-
thanks, i finally got around to installing the 2nd skin i won on here about a year ago lol, the sheet metal made getting the doors back on a bitch, but i love how my front stage sounds
-
Whats up guys, i just installed my 2nd system and wanted to know what i can do to make it louder! heres whats goin on to start off with:
some deadened doors:
and some peerless mids- only 10 bucks a pop on parts express, couldnt pass it up
the woofer: custom 15" d2 8 layer vented flatwound copper coil (next to a flea market 15" lol)
box: 2.2 tuned to 35 60 sq in, its carpeted and turned sideways now, pics in a bit
amp: orion 2500D
h/u: alpine cda- 105
amp: jbl gto 75.4
oh, car is an 02 neon 4d.
-
when installing anything in the dash if it wont fit, dont just try to muscle it in
there, you'll probably wind up breaking something.
Removing door handles- slip a rag behind the handle to remove the spring clip
Removing door panels- use a putty knife to slip behind door panel to pry off at each clip
Always remove neg battery terminal anytime you tamper with a car
put the clutch on your drill to its highest possible setting when drilling through
firewall, if it grabs you wont hurt your wrist/smash your knuckles
-
^x2 thats a lanzar?? damn the only lanzar stuff i've seen are cases that big with 1/5 of the internals
-
-
bass boost: boosts a certain frequency (sometimes variable) I NEVER use bass boost on my amp because it usually adds distortion (only sometimes on my hu if the song severely lacks in bass and i want to add a bit more when my sub level is at max on my hu and i know its not clipping) subwoofer level boosts/cuts the gain for the entire frequency range that the subwoofer is operating at.
-
its simple, if you still havnt bought an amp, buy one with high level inputs on it; no need for a high to low level converter. If its a car what i usually do is CAREFULLY solder some speaker wire to where the tinsels are soldered to the factory harness on the speakers in the back deck, this way there is no splicing of the factory harness. run a remote wire to the fusebox (usually acc) wire the amp up and your done
-
-
damn how big is that port? its huge! and ^x2 you could have easily used half the screws and the box would be just as strong assuming you used wood glue. oh, and one last thing, that box would prbably like some bracing in the middle, i usually use 3/4" or 1" wooden dowel. Other than that the box looks great, how much airspace?
but they did recommend that i take it here:
