well the voltage drop is probably whats causing the distortion right? its clipping because its not steady? the box is roughly 6 cubes tuned to 34hz, pretty big port i dont remember how much port area id have to measure it again. how would i check for a dead cell? i really hope not its a $700 battery ugh. i just recently got the single to dual 0ga inputs for the amp and alternator so I haven’t bought more to go from front to back yet

Pretty good from what I’ve found, they and mike singer work with each other from time to time too apparently. Both batts are good, all wire is either xs power or sundown ofc 1/0 and in the first page I said I cleaned every Ground and added two more. The voltage at the front is not bad like in the back as I’ve said like 6 times, the alt is fine!! Charging fine!! The power isnt getting to the back.

it was at 2 ohms before, and its not loud at all which is why i dropped it to .5, i guess i just need more than the one run of 0ga from front to back. i have 2 audiopipe 1800s i had strapped at 2 ohms on this sub until i got the sundown for a great deal, but wiring it to 2 ohms on the sundown just isnt loud but then again i guess i could try because the first time i had it at 2 ohms on the sundown it wasnt tuned with a DD1. With the two batteries and 240 amp alternator i should be able to run it at .5. I was hesitant on hurting the amp and emailed sundown support to ask and they said with my electrical it shouldn't be a problem, i just need to fix voltage getting to the back apparently. Voltage drop = distortion right?

I have stated what I have. Also what I have is in my signature. XsD3100 in front, the big ass North Star sms agm400 in the back, a 240a apex high output alternator, yes @.5 ohms. The voltage at the alternator and front battery at full tilt @2000 rpms is almost solid 14 at worst 13.8v it only gets that low at the amp. Which says the power is not getting from the front to back, so I’m asking how many runs of 0ga will be sufficient.

XS D3100 in front, Northstar SMS-AGM 400 in the rear, and i actually went out there to test the voltage after my last couple of replies. I put one DMM at the front battery, and one DMM at the amp, while the front didnt really drop below 13.8/14 while at full tilt @ 2k rpms the voltage at the amp got dangerously low, in the 12s. So i cleaned up all my grounds in the front and rear, added a 2/0 from the alternator to the front battery so that makes a total of 4 grounds off the front battery, one going to the frame, one to the block, one to the alt, one to the body. I ran another run of 1/0 from the back battery - to the frame. Even though i have 2 runs of + and - from the back battery to the amp and 2+ runs from the alt to the front battery i only have 1 run of 0ga from front battery to back battery. Do i need more runs from front to back, just one more? two more? for a total of 3? same amount of grounds to match? seems power is now the issue.

So i tuned my system with the DD1 and CC1, and my amplifiers bass knob clip led still lights up a good bit saying im clipping whenever i turn the system up to normal listening volume (36/40) and turn the bass knob halfway up or more , if any less it just doesn't really beat that hard. I know the led on the knob is not very accurate, but when tuning with the DD1, the distortion led would light up before the bass knobs clipping led, so i know if the bass knob is lit then it has to be distorting, or im assuming at least. I was told that since my music source is from my iPhone Via USB and the test tracks were on CD that could be it, so i loaded all the tracks to my phone and tuned everything with the audio source being my phone through USB, no difference. I cant figure out why im still clipping and making the woofer smelly with proper electrical and tuning with the DD1, its like there is no distortion while tuning but as soon as i hook the woofer up and play it does, Ive got to be doing something wrong. If i left out any info needed ill add whatever is needed, thank you! Equipment is in signature

I have an Alpine CDA-117 with some alpine tweeters, they are running off the head unit. i have a 4 channel running my door speakers. does my parametric eq on the stereo effect the 4 channel pre-outs on the HU? if it does i guess i should just get the blockers. right?
