Hertz_dont_it

how do i get oscoped and whats a dd1?

and also my magnet is hot as hell, when i took it out earlier it was to hot to touch but now it still hot and that was over and hour ago or close to it, like i can still barely touch it

That is not true, it's a common rumor, but even nick and Jacob themselves said you don't have to have a break in period, they will just start to sound better as they get broken in. That is NOT why your sub smoked! Disregard that comment lol alright lol im about to hook my sub back up and see what happens

i had the gain turned almost all the way down for about 2 1/2 weeks

should i see if it works and then sell it or keep it. i mean does that mean its closer to blowing or what

yah by ear, i told the stereo place i had it set just under half and they said it would be fine as long as i didnt crank it up or turn the bass boost up. and i dont know any other way to set them. how could i tell if i was clipping? Well if your OA smoked on 600watts it's almost a sure thing you were clipping some way. Unless you got a faulty sub im sure you would have known that a long time ago since you've already had it for a month how can i tell if im clipping and i just looked at the voice coil and it doesnt look burnt and it moves in and out and theres no rubbing that i can feel/hear

sorry i didnt see this post and the place is called inovative sound solutions (ISS) and all they did was build my box

this is what it looks like but my sub is more circle and my amp more rectangle and theres a box.

fuck my ass..., my gains where set just under half and nothing else was messed with besides the lpf or whatever it was et at like 55 hz so nothing over that would come to the sub

but does that wire it down to 2ohm or should i rewire it and that still doesn tell me why it was smoking but i guess wiring would neccisarily have anything to do with that one sec let me draw a pic of how they had it wired to the amp

alright so heres my dilema, i was bumpin hella loud and all the sudden i smelled smoke, my sub has been in my car for over a month running on a mtx jackhammer. sub is dual 4 and when i had my box built i asked them what they wired the sub down to they said 2ohms but anyway. when i smelled smoke i shut my sub off and was right down the street from my house and ilooked back and there was a shit ton of smoke just billowing out of my port i was like ahhh sheeet!! and raced home. i pulled out my sub to find this..... the sub was wired like so. a wire from the positive on one side to the positive on the other side and same with the negative. (negative to negative on other side. and from there a wire from the positive and one from the negative to the amp. i looked on the12volt and according to them thats not even a real configuration for a dual 4. can someone help plz sorry to make so long but i dont even know if my sub still works

lol went from asking if this was a good deal to discussion on ohm wiring, i knew what i was able to do i checked before i posted

http://ksu.craigslist.org/ele/2528852753.html heres what im lookin at and currently i have a 15" obsidian audio d4 wired to 2 ohm on a mtx jh600 and no lie it's loud as shit, too loud so my plan is to sell my current setup and downsize but still have a little money. so my question is, do these kicker and jl combo sound ok for the price? i know i will have to get a bigger amp and make a better box but i can sell/trade the jl for something better edit:the guy says the amp is perfect but the subs are dual 4 and at 4ohms the amp only runs like 350w rms

you guys forgot wiggy wiggy i ride bumpin that shit and im in a celica i dont think this is the actuall video

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i1209_big-3-upgrade-kits.html im pretty sure thats more expensive than if you bought it seperatley but i might be wrong

amp runs 600w rms at 2ohms and i got a dual 4ohm

phew thats good =] thanks

alright so my dimensions are 30" from side to side and 28" from back of seat to back of car and 15" tall what does that come out to? where in NC are you?

k thanks, and since i ordered friday when do you think it might get here like wednesday or say thursday just to be safe?

Very true. A box can make or break subwoofer performance. Stick to what is recommended on our site and you'll have a great subwoofer/box combo! lol i didnt even really look at the requirements. erm would 2cubes at 35hz ok?

your gunna love it man!!!! i have a video uploading on youtube of mine as we speak. here in about 30min i hope i can put it here on my build log. next on your list should be a 1000wrms amp for one dual 4 15?

ordered the obsidian im about to poop my pants i so ecited hehe i need some cheap components anyone heard anything about these?http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Website/CADENCE-CWM6KIT-6.5%E2%80%9D-200-WATT-COMPONENT-SPEAKER-KIT/CWM6KIT.aspx?item_cd=CWM6KIT&cat_cd=Website dont have to be amazing just need to work
