  1. Ya. Ok. I don't have a o scope. I'll buy one but don't kno were to look for one. And boast always at 0 and gains at little before half

    well oscopes get expensive. you might be able to rent one from a autozone or something.

    your local parts store.

    if you turn your sub level down to the lowest before your subs shut off. you should be able to turn your gain up to somewhere around 3/4.

    i would deffinitly get an oscope and read how to use one and test your stuff.

    im only 17 and only have a few years of experience so i wouldnt rely on me haha.

  2. you should always tune with the decks bass output ( sub level control not bass tone control!!) maxed out... that is where the decks rca voltage comes in... 15 is 4 volts everything below that is less voltage..

    Is this correct^^^I hate to send clip signal to my amp/subs? I have a alpine imprint and alpine dealer put my sublvl 15+ on my alpine cda 105.

    well im guessing he did that so that if you or your friend turned the sub level all the way up then it wouldnt clip.

    it is better to have the sub level down and the gain on your amp turned up more...

    but if your friend messes with it and turns the sub level up then your system is fucked lol

    Well my gain half and boast 0 and subsonic30hz and LPf 75hz

    well you need an oscope like he said to really test it if you dont know what clipping sounds like.

    but always keep the bass boost on the amp at 0 lol. bass boost will really make it clip

  4. all depends on the tuning and what woofers you use and the box size. you cant correlate ported boxes with lower notes etc. sure you can do that but some people tune super fucking high (burp boxes) so they cant play anything under like 50hz.

    the dc audio level 2 8 needs a box that is .8cuft ported and .5cuft sealed...its not too small unless the manufacturer tells you you can run a woofer in a small amount of space.

    =O haha

    ive never seen a decent sub that requires less then 1 cube.

    my bad =D

  5. wood glue is the best thing for gluing wood. ill explain how the bonding process works, relative to mdf.

    first, here is the thing i have never seen anyone do correctly. mdf has a layer of sealer on it. for best result, you have sand through the layer of sealer to get to the actual wood, to get the best bond possible. wood glue is thinner than liquid nail. i mix my glue with a lil bit of water to make it even thinner, because if the glue is thin it will soak into the material for a very strong bond. with liquid nail, it is so thick that it doesnt soak into the wood, and all you get is a surface bond, with is the structural equivalent to having a battery with a dead cell. sure it shows voltage, but put some load on it and you aint got shit.

    damn i got shut down. haha

  6. I just went and bought the sub and amp got a cadence pack 600watt mono amp and sub in box for $230, Now the guy said the amp has a fuse so I wouldnt need one to be installed. Also my battery is in the boot of my car. Now i'm having second thoughts installing this myself.Thinking i should get a fuse still and also ground cable and the remote wire to turn the amp off with the car has got me confused what to do.

    What the guy at the shop said to do is connect the amp( This new mono amp has inputs and outputs), So i connect the mono amp and head units pre outs to the mono, Then output the mono amps signal to the input of the old 4x200 amp.

    Just confused on installing it myself, I forgot about ground cable and remote wire. Also dont know if i should go get a fuse or not.

    lol.

  7. ugh youd have to use a box tunner which you can find on the site here just look it up and if im correct you have to make it shorter

    the calc i use says i need to make it longer

    i go to the12volt.com

    "Calculators, Charts, Diagrams"

    scroll down, click "Volume Calculator - Rectangular/Square Enclosures"

    scroll up, its right above the box volume calc for the spuare enclosures

    my port is 1.5"wide x 17.5"tall x 9"long

    and i have 1.8 cubes

  8. how many are there?

    edit you will need four of them if you were to try its like haveing two subs that are dual 4 if you connect two Voice coils you get 2 ohm then once you connect the other two you get a 2 ohm load then connect the two subs for a 1 ohm load

    yes i have 4,

    and i have a question about my box. its tuned to 46hz (not on prupose lol, just made a box that looks good)

    anyways, would i make my port longer to get it tuned lower? or would i shorten it?
