I have 2 12 inch Sundown's and a AQ1200D which says it produces 1200 rms at 14.4v but my battery is a 12v battery, will a cheap 2nd battery do the trick or not? The big 3 is impractical for me since my battery is in the trunk (German Engineering) My cars a bmw 323i 1999
Thanks

bass boost: boosts a certain frequency (sometimes variable) I NEVER use bass boost on my amp because it usually adds distortion (only sometimes on my hu if the song severely lacks in bass and i want to add a bit more when my sub level is at max on my hu and i know its not clipping) subwoofer level boosts/cuts the gain for the entire frequency range that the subwoofer is operating at.
thank you for clearing that up

Alright, so here the scoop. I have 2 SA 12's hooked up to a AQ1200D at 1 ohm in a ported box tuned between 36 - 37hz. Atm the subwoofer level is at zero on the hu along with all the other bass levels. On the amp the bass boost is at max and the remote is at max. The Gain is set so it wont clip as long as i don't turn the hu over volume lvl 25. It shakes my car but im wanting a little more. What is better bass boost or subwoofer level. I have a Kenwood KDCmp345u. Thanks!
-
k just turn bass on everything off or on 0. if you have any bass settings on or on a + number on the headunit it WILL CLIP. if its all on 0 or off then it wont.
it doesnt clip unless i go over 25 volume but so subwoofer level will send more voltage or tell the amp to give more voltage to the subs which will make it a lot louder correct?
-
subwoofer level on the headunit changes the amount of voltage going through the preouts for the subwoofer. more voltage = louder. turn it to +15 and youll notice a difference. turn off everything as i stated twice already. just do it already.
to late now. dont wana piss my parents ill do it tomorrow thanks!
-
k so your subwoofer level on the headunit is probably on 0 or something. put it to +15. then turn bass to 0 and mid to 0 and high to 0 and volume to 34. retune gains with no bassboost on.
how will that change the overall loudness?
-
uhh kenwood? k so it has a sub level control. put that to +15. put bass to 0 and BB/L (bassboost level) to off/0. turn bassboost the fuck off on the amp. kenwoods clip the preouts at about volume 34 so if you DONT have speakers running off the headunit retune gains to volume 34.
edit: oh also stop explaining that way. pics are better.
did you wire it like that or what
yea all the negatives together and all the positives together.
-
@ OP and this guy, your most likly wired wrong
ok... well tell me if this is wrong. on one sub i wired both -'s together and i wired the +'s together and also the same with the other sub. Then after i took the -'s from both subs and wired them all together and did the same with the +'s. then on the amp i have 2 -'s and 2 +'s does it matter which i put them in as long as the - goes to the - and + goes to the +? thanks
-
ok first off, turn the bass boost on the amp COMPLETELY DOWN.
and second, what kind of HU? alpine?
well if i turn the bass boost down it sounds like nothing and i have a kenwood kdcmp345u
-
Got the same problem and when i turn my volume past 25 the clipping light comes on. the gain and stuff is set pretty low and lpf is at 80 bass boost is all the way on both knobs but the hu is 0 on everything hooked up to two SA 12's 600rms each any ideas how to get them louder?
-
Test each sub, plug one sub in at a time to the amp. Does the amp go into protect or anything? Something doesnt sound right...
had to turn the gain up. lol
-
there is no right way to use peel and seal to make it not smell its like saying a freshly paved road wont smell. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
the peel and seal is in my spare wheel holder why would it ever smell and peel and seal hasnt smelt like anything

So your all good now is what your saying?
yes this shit smashes already strippd my carpet lol
-
Guys stop being mean to the guy, damn the elitist shit gets carried away, he's obviously stupid we all know that... LOL just messing but bro seriously need more information. We need to know EVERYTHING pictures help too. Are these brand new, have you tested the Voice Coils by reading the speaker terminals with a DMM @ ohms? Coulda be a faulty amplifier/woofers or something easy that you havn't figured out, is the headunit SW settings turned ON?
gain was turned all the way down.... lol FUCK THAT
-
your icon makes me lol
im pretty sure the rca's work , we tested it with the ohm meter thanks for all your help
-
if you tried every way to wire them, and still no sound is produced... it cant be the wiring can it?
wires are good just that their is 2 positives and 2 negatives on the amp do we just wire them in parallel? so one sub has both is positive going to 1 positive and negatives going to 1 negative?
-
ummm.... WWAAAYYYYY more info needed. is the amp turning on? are the RCA's hooked up?
amp turns on rca work 12volts are going to the amp just need help with the wiring
-
Alright so i have 2 SA Series 12"
which are DVCs and An Audioque 1200D
We tried wiring every way we can think of but still no sound will come out is it the subs or the amp or what? the preout is set to subwoofer. ?
THANKS
-
well according to your title your subs are just fine lol

My subs arent working i have 2 12' sundowns dual 4 ohm dvc wired to 1 ohm but my amp is a audioque 1200D and has two positives and negative connections we tested the rcas, the amp, the remote and everything on the dash is correct so wtf could it be? The amp turns on and has 12 volts being fed into it its grounded and everything. maybe my wiring is wrong? it goes on one sub is - to - twisted together then the other sub its - to - twisted together then both of those negatives are twisted together. same thing with the +'s heres the video we copied exactly
sorry any help is appreciated
