  1. voice coils seem like there low independace

    Let's not forget impedance rise lol. You'll never see anything lower than 2 ohm...if wired correctly. Now if you are wiring all positives to all positives and all negatives to all negatives, then you are running at .5 ohm and therefor, your amp and electrical will not like this! (if I did my math right lol...it is 3 am)..damn the thought of figuring out to wire quad 2 ohm sub to two ohms is hurting my head..

    Like this, but for one sub.

    EDIT: Just saw you're last post..if you are reading total impedance of 1.4, then as stated MANY times before, YOU ARE FINE! Even the one you are calling an ass told you this. Sheesh.

  4. Too much power for lvl 6??

    Ok finally got a new hu (alpine 9884) to get rid of old piece of crap that i had (alpine cda-102) so after all this went and dd-1ed it and used -5 track and set it there gain is at a little over half. Now while im driving around after 30 secs or so at 22 of 29(deck clips at 29) and i smell coil so turned it down and the dustcap was pretty hot so stopped playing and thought about it and so i turned the gain down to a little under half. So next day off to work and about a minute or so of 22 of 29 smell coil so im like wtf so i turn gain at around 3/8th and thats 5 mins b4 it gets really hot so today im at 5/16th around there and it gets even hotter yet lol i can touch motor/coil from my port and i burned my finger on the coil is getting really hot no matter what i play 20hz or 60hz. So idk whats up lol dc 5k at .5 with old radio i clamped it at 3700 watts and it would get hot after like an hour or so lol i have a show toworrow so i will clamp then but i really dont wanna burn a coil at the moment so any suggestions?

    Umm here is part of the prob too. Also, if you burnt a coil after knowing there is a problem and continued to beat the hell out of it with a shitty electrical with a large amp at .5, then this is your fault. You woul be the tard who burnt another one. Especially after knowing you had a prob and every here is saying something is not right.

  13. VVX dual sub Sealed or Ported

    I love sealed, but then again, I don't compete, and was limited space. If you lived closer, I would show you. They do quite well sealed. I'll try to get a better video later with the HD camera. Honestly, with the space you have, I'd stay ported. You can do two separate boxes, with aero ports. I guess my point is, if you are going to be close to whats recommended for ported, then why not port?

    I could've told you that lol, i have 2 VVX 15 and its rattling my SUV so much my rear view mirror wont stay up, i can't imagine what 4 15's will do to my car lol, u can probably tone down to 2 15's instead of going with 2 8's and deaden the hell out of the car

    Oh it is deadened. second skin everywhere. I strip the whole car, sludged the floor, sprayed underneath, layer on of damplifier on the roof with the spectrum over it and the same on the walls and doors. lol. I think I had a roof bow go already. :(

    or... stripper pole and cross brace the inside :P

    Not a choice, sadly. I think I will strip it out, buy a truck or a car of some sort and do with it as I please. All I can say is, the Skar Comps scream! Just go the doors done and damn. BTW, it's hot out.

    Will trade my 4 15s for 4 sundown or skar 8s :)

  18. most amp power for VVX

    I had 2 12s on a Powerbass xta 5k at .5 daily, now Im running them on a DD m3 at .5 daily

    i'd love to see clamp numbers, I highly doubt you're pushing more than 3k rms daily to a pair, DAILY as in you can play a whole song full tilt within tuning, then another song, without stopping to let the coils cool down. I had my pair on a 3.5k at .5, sending them the cleanest signal I could but they were still catching hell not matter what song I played, coils never got stinky because I didn't let them play that long. They are underrated but not underrated to take 2500rms a piece. To the op I wouldn't go more than 900rms daily to each sub.

    Aren't you kinda saying you're doing the same thing? 3.5k at .5 (not putting imp rise into any of this cause it differs too much per set up) on an amp which does more than 3.5k at 1 ohm, but you're at half...wouldn't this make you closer to 4.5k, which then divided by two isn't too far from 2500 each. Granted that 5k at .5 is gonna be a lot more than 2500 as well as the m3, but yea.

    :ehh:

    video's I wish i can hear these vvx on sealed, i always loved sealed subs

    It does ok lol. Vids wont be for a few. Let's just say two sheets of 3/4 inch MDF wasn't enough for a loading wall after only a few minutes of play. Also have the dowels for bracing on the inside. Oops. 2x4s getting put on the back tomorrow and figuring out how to strap my poor little 4 channel back up :D
