  2. NEW ICON for System of the Month Winners!

    in SMD FORUMS - SOTM sponsored by CE Auto Electric, XS Power, and Mechman!

    Posted

    i have a sorta complete stystem the car come with a stock amp and the music is pretty loud and i just added the amp, wiring, subwoofer. i dont know how to add pictures on here so if you want you can help me by telling me how or look at my profile.

    1 15 fi bl sub

    1 rockford fosgate t2000 amp

    custom ported box

    0 gauge wire for power and ground wire

    So why post in this thread??

    If you are trying to get nominated for SOTM there is a nomination thread

  3. Processor/ eq suggestions

    in Head Units-Processors and Eq's

    Posted

    Well if your stock unit was giving the amp a higher voltage preout than the unit u just bought and installed then the gain will be off on the amp and will most likely be quieter

    My opinion is that you don't need a new eq or processor as much as you need a new 4 channel and speakers... I mean "no highs, no lows, must be Bose"

  4. Different sized rear batteries..

    in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring

    Posted

    Edit 2 - and the higher battery doesnt "charge" the lower... i mean, amperage wise,... what does a battery 'pull" ???? To me, they will find equal, between the 2, and rest there.... and cutting it half life?? wow... i dunno....

    I believe that the lower charged battery will pull from the higher charged battery because it will try to get to an equilibrium as stated before I think that it's something about how if say one battery in a bank is drained because it has given more amps to the amp than the rest then the rest of the batteries will be pulled from until they are equal voltage

    Sorry if that is confusing I just remember seeing that in a thread pretty recently but I forgot how they put it

    I'm sure alpine can expand on it or tell me if I'm completely wrong. Lol

  7. hot subs

    in SKAR AUDIO - (READ ONLY ARCHIVE)

    Power=heat. It's a misconception that clipping is the cause of warm woofers.

    your going to get in so much trouble for that :]

    Kay, lemme rephrase that. Its a misconception that clipping is the ONLY cause of warm woofers,

    Well that's why companies incorporate cooling into the motor so it can handle more power do it will most likely get warm as drew (noobtastic) said

    But it shouldn't get really hot. That would be caused by box error (which is pretty much ruled out for this situation) or clipping which creates unnecessary heat and more than the vc can handle=blown

  13. What is your box tuned to?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    For people that are tuned to about 32hz, how low can you play and what subs are your running?

    I'm at 34 Hz but with a bigger box so that helps lower my f3 point and can play down to as low as my ssf goes at 25hz. I don't really see the point of any lower since you cant hear it anyways. Using a 15" level 4 in a 4 cube box

  14. What is your box tuned to?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by Pro7

    I am tuned to 34Hz at 4 cubes and I really like how low it gets but I just wish I had a little better upper 40s-60 output (it might be from having too little port area tho.. I'm at like 11in/cube :(

    Does anyone know if more port area would extend my feq response? I know it's all trial and error but I don't really wanna tear out my box that's glassed in to take the chance of maybe helping the output (which I am already happy with just thinking there is more potential)

    Edit: And I'm running a level 4 15" d2 off a mb quart 1500 amp prob rising higher than Compton on 4/20 tho..

  22. So this is what i had to do!!

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Well if you could extend the port outside the box then that would lower your tuning and depending on how far you can extend it then you should be able to take out those 3in spacers to give you more port area

    And another idea is you could put something in the chamber (not port) to take up space and lowering box volume while staying the port dimensions the same should lower tuning frequency

    So if I were you I would take out the spacers and extend the port then if it's not low enough still put something like a brick in the box

  24. JL Audio

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    I hate main stream subwoofers like JL audio, Rockford, Kickers...they're so overly priced because of their name...

    Saying you hate Rockford anything on this forum is just asking for the hammer lol just playin man I know what you mean everyone in my area all they know is kicker jl alpine etc.. and they swear by it

    I got my DC level 4 and all my friends were like HOLY SHIAT that is a huge magnet! And I'm like you guys have no idea.. They wouldn't believe me if I showed them a pic of a level 5 let alone a level 6. Oh and the one friend that has 2 Fi BLs and an AQ 2200 has heard of DC subs and he told me that there was a level 7 for sure lol -smiled and agreed then turned my back and facepalmed
