  1. I´ve gained 1.5 db by x3 the power before, so those 3 dbs by doubling the power isn´t a rule at all :drinks:

    well its not just power, in order to gain 3 db i believe its double power along with double the output source (2nd of the same woofer) so for example if you have 1 15 on 2000 watts in order to gain 3 db you need to add another of the same 15 in the same type of box with the same power effectively doubling your output source adding 3 db to your total output.

  2. the way i look at it it can be beefy or cheesy. and nobody wants a cheesy sub, theirs no substance. you want lots of beef on your sub cuz it fills you up. hence beefy (large motor) fills up the sound. seriously though its just an adjective. its just like calling someone chubby. its got some meet on it so most people say subs are beefy cuz they have a large motor or magnet.

  3. straight from crescendo man i have 2 of their amps. just hit up the website. what do you want to know? i know i have a 2 year warranty down to a half ohm and it does 3100 watts at 1 ohm. definitely baddass amps

  4. if you can fit 2 0 gauge wires in an amp as opposed to 1 0 gauge wire you'll have better current flow. its the same as increasing the wire size from 4 to 0. your just adding more 0

  5. sounds like your amp is going into protect. it only does all this stuff when your moving right? could be a loose wire maybe you messed up your wiring and its a .5 ohm instead of 4. you also said you saw a screw in your port? take your subs out and find out where that came from. how did you set your gains? could be clipping everything and your just lucky o have a protect circuit stopping you from blowing it up. you said your amp was smoking? is it warm to the touch? if you messed up your wiring you could be running to low of an ohm load heating your amp up sending it into thermal protect. theres a lot of possibilities here. is it possible for any of your amps/ box/ batteries anything to move around?

  6. haha yea 2010 altima coupe im running one treo te in the trunk with a alpine m500 it sounds good. i was actilly thinking of going bigger but just dont wont to since its a brand new car so i was thinking of just adding another te and a treo rsx1900. would both be getting over 500 watts at 1 ohm and idk weather to go with ported or sealed it will be in the trunk and usually the seat folded down.

    if your seats are folded down try facing the subs foward and sealing them off from the trunk.

  7. depends on your goal for this build but you can do ALOT with 5 grand. i would look into crescendo amps, they're beast for not much $. what ever subs and amps you decide on i would check out dc power for alternators maybe get a duel alt. kit. and some really nice batteries because with that kind of money you should have lotsss of power.

  8. lol the only reason i have 1 of each is cuz i blew all the pairs lol... cuz after a while i get used to it and its not loud anymore so i turn the amp and volume up and then it starts to stink haha

    oh boy you have lots to learn on here. buy a matching sub for one of those. build a decent box and don't over power/clip the shit out of them and blow them again.

    and as far as dougee goes if he wires the D4 up to 8 then he can wire the 2 8's back down to 4 i suppose but i don't see how he could get 8 ohms out of that. idk

    EDIT: yea just re-read the op most of what you described is impossible i'd like to know how this stuff is wired

    Think about physical woofers, actual coils. What happens when you wire an 8ohm coil in either series or parallel to a 4ohm coil, and then series/parallel to another 4ohm coil. I don't think it would work too well.

    @OP, I guess that possibility could work, I didn't really think of it like that.

    Is your box prefab ?

    no i had a company here that sells subs make it for 250$

    you paid $250 for a ported box for 2 12's? its only about $50 in parts. learn to build boxes and you'll save a crap ton of money
