ya, I was thinking that i might be choking them, just wanted to make sure I'm not....

i'm running 2 12" solo x by kicker.....

ok, 2006 dodge magnum station wagon, subs up, port back.... is there a certain distance the subs should be from the roof?? i'm being told that my subs are to close to the roof... the subs are 8.25 inches from the roof.....

hey now.....be nice....LOL

well they are rated for 2500 wrms, but I'm not sure about daily. I had 1 in a 6 cubic ft box and ran it at 1 ohm for about a month, no probs........ N.S. eh? where u at?

now, I was thinking about doing that....but would 1 sub at 1ohm with 2600wrms be louder(higher spl) than 2 subs at 2ohm with 1200-1300 each...???...

this is startin to get harder and harder..... :censored: :censored: Should I only run 1 sub then at 1ohm, i would be able to put 2600wrms to it, would that be louder(higher spl) than 2 at 2ohms with 1200-1300 to each?

ok, I have 2 kicker 12" solo x subs, and the kicker website says for best results in the lows and most power handling I should have each sub in a 6 cubic ft box, so I have my 2 12's in a 12 cubic ft box. I am running both subs at 2ohms off of a kx2500.1. the amp is 2600wrms at 14.4. so lets say each sub is getting 1200-1300 wrms.... where i am not giving the subs what they recommend, should I make the box smaller due to the lack of power going to the subs?? subs are 2500wrms a piece...

TKS!!!!!!! I didn't think it was that bad, I was hoping for about 2 more db's, but maybe that will come after i fix these problems. thanks for the positive!!!!

thanks, after reading that, I dont think i will use my eq for my subs.....I will use the 4.0 volt preouts on the deck.

ok, I think someone needs to tell me exactly what clipping is.....

I never clipped at 40, it just sounded like crap, when I turned the volume down to 24, it hit higher, so then I turned my gain up while still at volume 24 and then I clipped. I think it sounded better at 24 because my amp was getting more than the recommended amount of signal volts. My box is an experimental box, i dont think it is crap, it just wasn't held together properly, or i had to much pressure in the box. we built it using 1.5" griping brad nails, just to try it. we used 2000 of them, plus we used liquid nails and we used fiber glass resin... I just think the brad nails were a bad idea, but the guy said it would work......

I'm using a bass knob.......can someone tell me how to set my gains...i sort of remember, something about the square root of my watts....or something like that....

I'm looking that up right now, I think they can only handle 5v......I know I dont have to use full volume, and I wasn't on the eq, it was more of a testing issue, trying to find the sweet spots.

sooooooooooooooooooo, I metered today, and as I was pounding away, my box split, and it sounded like a set of drums in my trunk at full tilt..... I hit 144.6 before the box broke apart........ everyone that has told me to burp, says to max out volume and use pause button, well i did that, and it sounded like crap, hit only 138. I turned the volume down to 24 out of 40, and it hit 144.6 before breaking the box.. I am using an audiocontrol four.1 eq with 9.5 volts rms, is this maybe why it sounded like crap at the higher volume?? should I disconnect the eq and use full volume?? HU has 4.0 volt pre outs...

???? what does "and its a kicker amp so yeah" have to do with it? why would you even try to hook your amp directly to the alt??

I have run 2 12's that were 400wrms a piece and 1000wrms amp, stock electrical with no problems. all that on a 70 amp honda alt.

I have a dodge magnum, and I replaced the stock batt with a yellow top optima (D31A) and was looking to use kinetik for just the amp...kinda sounds like this is what I should do....

what about a po box in maine....would that work?

I am running a kicker kx2500.1 at 2ohms

I would except I live in canada, so duty and shipping would be lots of $$$

do you think an hc2400 would handle my 2600 watts? i can pick a used one up for like $200. never used in a car, they had it as a back up at a cottage....????....!!!???

stock 140 amp....

my optima is a D31A....meant for car audio....

ok, I replaced my stock batt with a D31A yellow top optima, but i am being told that a battery cannot discharge the amount of power i need as fast as i will need it.... i am running 2600wrms, and i was going to just get another D31A, but should i get a kinetik batt for my amp?
