[How would you guys handle this]

use it for some mid bass!!

i agree with this! lol.

i think it kind of sad to sell a gift. might as well use it for the mids and run another amp for the sub

edit: didnt see it said you have amp already for mids. im sure you could run something off the amp though

[Total failure?]

that sucks man, hence why i wire everything in my car myself, that way you know exactly whats been done and if stuff like this happens you can quickly fix it (not that it should go wrong if you know what your doing)

But yeah, i agree with other comments, redo it all, and any questions, just ask the guys on here. ive always found them to be REAL helpful

[Which Amp ?]

you are correct. find a class D mono amplifier capable of 700 watts RMS @ 2 ohm.

i agree with the amplifier choice.

wire the subs parallel to get a 2 ohm load.

(with your current wiring configuration, in series, the subs are wired to an 8 ohm load)

Don't have a clue how many watts you are running at the moment though

[what are best materials for box without breaking the bank]

I used Arauco ply for my box, but I'm not sure if that would be available where you are. It's a lot lighter than MDF and I was told it would be fine for boxes. Just throwing that out there.

thanks man

i appreciate any help or advice

[what are best materials for box without breaking the bank]

haha cheers guys that helps heaps

had never heard of liquid glue until now or the surface thing on MDF (learnt something new today).

will probably use MDF, silicone, screws and that stuff and just make sure i do it perfect first time.

thanks for the help again

[what are best materials for box without breaking the bank]

Planning on building a new box before the end of the year, but i'm not sure with what material i should use.

ill be building roughly a 100 litre ported box. and want to get the most out of the sub.

last box sort of failed as the wood was under too much pressure because it was a very small sealed box.

wish to avoid this problem second time round.

Any advice you can give me will be much appreciated.

Thanks

[how much is my amp worth? help plz]

installed the amp in the weekend, and will have a db reading for how loud it is probably in 2 or 3 days haha

[how much is my amp worth? help plz]

Just as a good rule of thumb bro you will pretty much never get the $$ back out of a piece of equipment. So dont set your hopes on getting that. I would accept anything that is a reasonable price compared to what you paid for it man but hey if you manage to get your money back out of it then good for you just dont set your sights on it

yeah i know aye, if u expect too much, then u will never sell it and so never get the money, ive decided if it sells thats cool, if not then ill probably just wire it up and use it haha

[how much is my amp worth? help plz]

x2 this. for example if you get an amplifier that can output a true 1500rms and you are powering a 1000rms woofer with it with gains tuned to 1000rms, it will (99% of the time) sound better than lets say a 1000rms amp on a 1000rms woofer.

this is because the amp has more headroom (extra power that its not outputting so to say) and doesnt have a chance to distort.

makes sense, thanks for the information

[how much is my amp worth? help plz]

thanks for the replies guys, you got a real good point with the whole sound thing, true that the only way to know if it's too loud or not is to simply install and try it. if i do end up selling it i think ill put it up for a bit more than what i payed because i was fortunate enough to talk the guy in the shop down a few hundred dollars haha.

oh another question is that, if i run the amp a fair bit under the supposed average RMS, will it still sound good?

[how much is my amp worth? help plz]

Just wondering what people would expect to pay or be willing to pay for a brand new Fusion NV-Series NV-AM 25001 amp?

Im asking this because i recently bought one but have decided not to install it into my car and was hoping to sell it, but not sure on what price i should sell it for. It has not been used and is sitting in the box it came in in my room, so i'd say it's brand new.

what do you think i should sell it for?

thanks

also im sure some of you could answer me this.

If i run my 15" sub at RMS 825W with this amp, how loud would it be?

would it be too loud to sit in and listen to like day in and day out?

and if i did run this amp would i need to run a second battery and alternator or would i be sweet running it off the one battery and alternator?

thanks heaps if you can help

[non hip hop music that still has great bass]

Legacy if you like dubstep look up Excision, Datsik, Cookie Monsta, The Widdler, Borgore, and many more. If you goto soundcloud.com you can download a ton of music for free and listen to the tracks before you download and they have all genres. But personally I like dubstep because of the bass drops and alot of the bass wobbles sound sick. I hope this helps!

thanks heaps ill have a look at some of these now

[non hip hop music that still has great bass]

dubstep

that's all i could think of at the moment, plus i figure i shouldn't post too many vids cuz some may consider it "post dumping" (which is a new term to me). i would have posted them all in 1 post but it seems there is a limit. anyways hope that helps a little

thanks man that helps heaps

like the sound of the dubstep haha
