[40hz and 1hz light wont come on (update: figured it out)]

Try grabbing the (-) spkr terminal instead of ground.

well i finally got the hz lights to come on today by sticking the black clamp in the - speaker terminal on the sub amp, but the 300/4 i had to stick it in opposite terminals??? i dont understand why that would be and im not sure this is right, my gains are higher now than before when i used a dmm, spent hour trying to get this dd 1 to work lol

[40hz and 1hz light wont come on (update: figured it out)]

im gonna try it again tom and see what happens, any more suggestions i would really and i mean really appreciate it guys, thanks

[40hz and 1hz light wont come on (update: figured it out)]

Play -5db 1000hz and try it again.

i did, i tried track 4 and 6 1000hz and same result and did 5 and 3 for 40hz

Explain how you are setting the gains or how you are detecting distortion. Maybe you are doing something wrong.

i turn the headunit to 39, turn it on the correct track, stick the red probe in the positive and clamp the other part on the amp ground wire, then play the track and it wont detect the hz, the signal light comes on tho, and then i turn the gain up and it will read distortion but the 40hz light never came on or 1hz when i did the full range amp

You need to turn your crossover(HZ) all the way up.

i did turn it all the way up on the both when i did each, i turned off the infrasonic filter 2

[what numbers to expect from one 12w7??]

[what numbers to expect from one 12w7??]

Well i ended up hitting a 138.0, i prolly could have got a lil better but i wasnt sure on how loud to turn it up and i didnt want to blow it ya kno

[what numbers to expect from one 12w7??]

do u turn the sub level on the headunit up the whole way? and do i use my bass boast control knob?

If you're looking to keep your sub in good condition, leave "Bass" on the headunit at 0 and turn down bass boost on the amp to 0. Also, set your gains with an oscilloscope (or at least a digital multimeter)

If it's not loud enough for you when set properly, then you've caught the disease and will have to upgrade equipment. Don't worry, it happens to all of us

lol aw man i guess i need to get a couple of 12w7s then lol this setup i love for listening to everyday on music but when i want to blast it it aint as loud as i want but i reckon i just need to go ahead and buy another sub and amp and be done with it lol

how much did you spend on that 12w7?

200, got it from a guy who needed the money, like new, i got lucky on that deal

[what numbers to expect from one 12w7??]

depends you could do 120 if you don't know what your doing, or some one who is an expert can get 150 out of it.

db's mean nothing really

u mean know what ur doing by controling the volume and knowing when to blast it?

I have a 2005 f150 supercrew with one 12w7 in a custom ported box upfired to jl specs. The sub is powered by a 1000/1 slash v2 amp. I have a 250 alt and all electrical is 0 gauge. my question is what range should i prolly hit on the meter? Ive never did a comp with this setup and just wondering what it might hit around before the comp gets here sunday

[what sub to replace 12w7 for spl??]

We commonly redo our Big 3 wires in larger wire, but there is one more wire that we can also do in 0gauge to improve conductivity... I believe... Don't remember what it is this, Alternator to Chassis maybe...

Its the chassis to frame

[what sub to replace 12w7 for spl??]

my price range can be up to 300ish, i forgot to add that the box is 1.75 cu ft and ported to 32hz

[what sub to replace 12w7 for spl??]

im new to the forum, I have 05 f150 supercrew with a mechman 250 alt, Big 4 with 0gauge, sound deaden all doors and backwall and some on the floor and firewall, my system includes jl c5 6.5 components in the front doors and c2 5x7 in the rears with a jl slash v2 300/4 on them and a jl slash v2 1000/1 on a jl 12w7 in a ported box, my question is, what sub could i replace the w7 with when i do spl comp? the sub would need to be i reckon a 1000 watts rms and would be louder than the w7 in spl. This sub would only be used when i do sound comp, i been lookin at audioque hd3 , are they any good for spl? any ideas guys?
