I tried to call DC but I am assuming they're closed today because I got no answer, twice. I called 3 local shops here and they all say a high grade silicone... Do you guys agree?? I would really like something that will give me a reliable hold so I don't have to inspect the surround every day to be sure it's holding.
Off topic - NONE of the 3 shops I called have ever heard of DC audio...
most companys wont know DC... cause DC dose not build product stock..there woofers are build per order in the USA... not built in china and shipped to the US... there are three people that make up DC audio... rusty, ana, and rob... they are swamped right now and they just got back from finals
they make a rubber ca type glue that can be used... I have seen people use silcone caulk in a pinch (i would get the right stuff if you have the time)
I got a hold of rob.....
he said use goop
Just used this to fix a tear in a Level 5 (: works like a charm. dont expect pretty results though -

My Name is Drayton Callahan
i found this website through a friend when i caught the bass crazer virus.

yeah man chill out. nobody on this site is out to make you feel like crap. if you ask for help and are prepared for constructive criticism then youll learn something.
takin the defensive/attacking route is just going to get you kicked off.
if im not correct i thought a forum was created so that people could ask questions and get help from people who can give advice. why join if your just going to freak out on everyone who trys to help you

this guy is ridiculous. lol he cant even answer a question. your DMM doesnt even need to be changed except from DC to AC . why cant he just answer a question instead of getting pissed off and rambling off into a tangent about how his system isnt 10000$

To start, upgrade the big 3 in 0 gauge, get the largest battery you can fit up front should drastically increase performance. Also, more info on vehicle, equipment, and wiring.
Shitty 1995 for explorer.
Just tryin to get info on what battery would be best.
the first battery listed is what 350? I dont really wanna pay more than i did for my amp which was 250 so i guess that can be a price limit.. I didnt set one cuz half the time people dont pay attention to them anyways.. so no need to get angry man.
cheaper the better i guess.
and the wiring is gonna be all 1/0g'd out. my speaker wire is 8g. I just wanted to get the battery out of the way first cuz itll prolly be more expensive.
also whats wrong with copper clad aluminum wiring?
Die Hard Sears batter Platinum p-2

and you definitely need to do the Big 3 with 0 guage.

batteries always run DC
alternators correct DC voltage to create an alternating current (AC)

you talkin to me? quote button is a beautiful thing
i was talking about the alpine 1000's sorry if i made that confusin
-
ive also used sonicelectronx and they do pretty well. at least for me they did. and their warranty department is pretty easy to work with.
-
with box rise and the changes in impedance you wont even see 1000watts of clean power.
(correct me if im wrong)
i do agree with the AQ1200's strapped at 2 ohms.
as well as the AQ2200 then beef up your electrical and run at .5 ohm. im getting ready to do that in my truck on two DC level 3 15's

audiobahn a275hct
still use it today sometimes.
best part is. i got it for FREE lol
-
HAHAHA that was so dumb. and your right, my week is going to be ruined because of the platypus song
-
i see. now im about as smart as that baby on the motorcycle
-
oh alright. thanks.
yea, cuss if u set them wrong, i mean the way ur doing it can still have a bad clipped signal,that also could be why ur other sub burn the leads. even if ur under powering a sub...
i checked nothin was burnt. i had an alpine type r d2 and the way they make the spiders are that they are hard and brittle. so it just cracked. then it was done for. it wasnt clipping at all. if it was it was soo little that i couldnt hear it
-
-
how you do find the exact ratio? do you have to buy a meter or somethin?
-
Well that is still possible, if you're not fully aware of the parameters of your sub, I would play it safe. Set gains correctly, and provide an adequate enclosure and pay attention to details.
Even the top of the line subwoofers can be trashed by people abusing them.
yeah i pay attention to that. i usually turn my highs up to what i normally listen to then adjust my gain on the amp to even out bass and highs.
if theres a more proper way to adjust it please tell me lol.
i figured this was the most educated guess to setting the gain
-
mine sounds fairly balanced.
10:1
2 tweeters
4 components
1 sub

I was just trying to help you answer your own question, lol. In a sense...yes. it will allow it to have more control at higher power.
hah thanks man. i figured as much but i didnt want to crank it and blow it all to hell because im a dumbass.
-
sexy bike on avator.
what amp you got ?
haha thanks. dude. i found that pic on the internet.
and its an audiobahn hct275 or somthin. i cant remember off the top of my head
basically about 900 rms @1 ohm
nothin crazy. its just so my truck will bump.

Why are you getting it with level 4 soft parts.
the last sub i had the spider cone cracked and broke because it was so brittle. so i chose the dc cause they use the dual soft spider. but basically i was told it would make the sub stronger yadi yadi ya... it was only 20 bucks. so i was like what the hell.
-
im getting a DC level 3 with level 4 soft parts. does that increase the rms the sub is capable of ? ive been told this before but i couldnt remember if it was a yes or no.. and its buggin me
thanks guys
