  6. How to make coaxials only play highs?

    Posted

    I am trying to find out if there is a way to make the speakers in my doors to play only the highs, since I have subs to cover the lows. The main reason I want to do this is because my front speakers are stock and they sound like shit at moderate to high volumes because of the bass. I looked at my head unit settings and couldn't find anything but maybe some of you know how? They are 5x7 speakers by the way.

    Honestly, I'd take the sundown any day. Never had much experience with soundstream products, but the specs say 2200 watts at 1 ohm so I'm guessing it does around 1800-2000. The sundown looks more aesthetically pleasing and has better customer service and will probably still pump the same amount of power. Oh and I didn't see a price on the soundstream so that's another factor I didn't include.

    For that system your looking at ~$940, you could build your own enclosure for $35 if you have the tools. Use 3/4" MDF board. Anyways, that's my input, hope it helped.

    Oh and I just remembered, if you can find a good price on them, 2 12" funky pup subs will get louder than anything mentioned in this thread. Be careful.

    Alright so i was reading up on the link above and its CCA (copper clad aluminum), which is 90% aluminum and 10% copper. I am pretty sure thats not what i am looking for. I thought 100% or the closest I could get to 100% were the way to go. Im right arent I? And what size fuze should i need if i order from KnuKonzeptz site? Can you get TOO big of a fuse?

    Depends how much RMS power your going to be running 80 amps should be fine with under 1000 watts. With 1500 I'd probably go with 120-150 amp fuse.

  15. Blown subs or amp?

    with 300rms of course its not gonna get as loud as you want. if you had a car and tried to be faster by powershifting (shifting fast w/o using the clutch) then the transmission is gonna wear out and blow. same thing with your subs. you try to push a little amp harder than it was designed to, its gonna output a clipped signal. and thats what i think blew your subs

    edit: btw what brand amp was it, model number would help tremendously

    It was a soundstorm f700.2, an older amp. POS too.

    Why not just hook up the subs to another amp just to check if they still work?

    Don't have one at the moment. Will soon though.

    My friend just got 2 kicker cvr 12's and we were bumpin them alright with this 2 channel 700w amp he was borrowing. At 4 ohms bridged, this amp was maybe putting out 150 watts a sub? Way underpowered for Cvr's. So we were bumping some songs down the highway and I thought that I smelt a faint burning smell or something like it, and was thinking it might be the coils, so we turned it down a little, but kept playing them. They played fine the rest of the night. Keep in mind that we only played these subs for a total of maybe 3-4 hours total over a week or so.

    Anyways, the next morning we were playing them pretty hard, and all of the sudden it bass just cuts out. Got to my house, checked all of the connections, cables, wires, even re-soldered the power and ground terminals and made sure all fuses were still good. We reconnected everything and double checked it all. Everything was right. We turned his car on and played some songs, no bass still. The amp still has the power light on and no protect mode. I pushed the cones on the subs down to see if anything was scratching, nothing. Took them out and looked at them, still look brand new and everything. So I'm 99% sure its the amp, but its not going into protect mode when we turn on the car.

    Whats wrong? Everything looks good but still no bass. Is it possible that the amp is fried? Gain was up to maybe 3/4 and half bass boost? If anything isn't clear just ask. Thanks.

    Possibly one of the more incorrect statements I've heard. Seems as though you've never seen/heard a properly designed and build bandpass before to drop a statement like that. Well designed and built bandpass enclosures have pretty much no equal for SPL, daily or SQ(which ever it is built to perform in) if done correctly. Prefab bandpass enclosures on the other hand for the most part are absolute shit. This is due to these companies mass producing them, they're using "general" subwoofer specs and usually aren't the highest quality build material.

    To the OP, didn't mean to get off topic just don't like seeing incorrect info being thrown around... If you need any help just ask.

    If you didn't read my whole post, I told the OP that its recommended that he builds his own box, obviously because prefabs are for the most part, shitty. I have heard my share of bandpass boxes and they all pretty much don't measure up to a properly built ported enclosure because they are built incorrectly.
