  4. wiring and ohms

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Sound storm is crap equipment. I mean absolutely no offense, but that's true. The subs could barely take their rated on the best day. So its a good think you would never even see 1200 watts out of those amps.

    I'm just curious which bench test you did...

    the standard bench test obviously. you put the amp on the bench and look at it. duh :rolleyes:

    OP... ya... we can spot bull shit from 5 miles away on this forum. as for your question... you can really only wire to 1ohm or 4ohm so you better be ok with running 1ohm. ill bet that amp will get pretty hot at 1 ohm.

    You're right, it was around 4200 but I could of also just done the math wrong, but it is running at 1ohm, I know that for sure its the actual wattage i'm not sure of...

    what was the load you used? what clamp meter and DMM did you use?

    Bench test? :BULLSHIT:

    Right just looked up amp doesn't do NEAR 5k! Thats peak power. it only does maybe 1700 @ 2ohms and only takes 175a fuse.

    It comes with a 200a ANL fuse...

    lets go over that math.

    200 (amps) x 14.4 (voltage) = 2880 (watts)

    now that is if the amp was 100% efficient. and of course it isn't. lets say its 70% efficient. most class d amps are around that at 1ohm.

    2880 x .7 = 2016

    so the amp can not possibly do anywhere close to what you claim.

    well, how bad could it get if I used a 500a fuse? or would I have to modify the amp to handle it.

    In all honesty its just a cheap amp..

    I understand where your coming from were just trying to help. The amp does'nt do rated power but it will still work fine with your setup. Later on in the future sell it and buy a better amp. Just go to the site I put in a previous quote "The 12volt" & that will show u how 2 wire your subs (If u didnt do it already).

    yeah I just went ahead and wired them, but same as what you posted, thanks.

    its 5000 watts max on that amp not RMS, true RMS it claims 2500 but im sure its around 1900 because of the fuse rating. if it was a true 5000 watt amp it would have 2 power and ground inputs plus the fuse rating would be at 500a not 175a.

    Like I said its a cheap set-up to begin with, it came with a 200a fuse but I do agree with it having extra inputs.

    but whatever, it works and sounds good and so i'm happy with it until I can afford more.

    I can understand that to a degree, I had to have one of them replaced after about 2 weeks from what i thought was a fried voice coil? But the amp I have is fairly solid, sure its not a Rockford fosgate or a Sound stream amp but it does the job for $200 and still sounds clean.

  12. Opinions/ Tips on new box plans.

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by Wallaceman

    These are the plans for the new box that i'm building for my 2002 Explorer, and yes it will fit.

    It's for 4 18" Acoustic Audio 18's, so yes this is a budget build. As in under $800 build...

    but here's the specs for the box:

    1" MDF all around

    Dimensions: 40 x 39 x 22

    Port Dimensions: 20 x 37.5 x 3.5

    Gross Volume: 16.27 ft^3

    Tuning Frequency: 29.41Hz

    Port Area: 131.25 in^2

    there will be a 1/4 sheet of MDF on top of the face sheet for counter sink...

    This is similar to lil_wallbangers 4 18 box as far as port design.

    the subs are "Light weights" and only weigh 17 pounds each... but that's all my budget allows. but ill still build the box up to 1 1/2 to 3" or so..

    Let me know what you think

    So I have two 15" Sound Storm Subs and a 5000watt mono block amp.

    the subs are dual 4 ohm and the amp is one ohm stable.

    would it be safe for my subs to be wired to one ohm? or would it do something weird?

    sorry if this is a stupid question, I've never had this come up in previous installs.
