  1. Im really at a loss on this subwoofer thing… Not sure exactly whats best. Not sure if i can find some magical rezones that will solve my problem or if i have to hunt down the most ideal subs for my application. I just don't want failures anymore.

      50 out of the trunk is hard

      Especially when you tune low, yeah, good luck with that.

      Xfl's have some shitty coil construction, friend of mine's 10's went to slinky, even though they were mint.

      just build some 12's. You can get a quality coil, cone, and spiders from Jacob.

  2. If you could pick any coupe / sedan to do a huge trunk build in and get minimum 20mpg... What would you choose?

  3. So the ct2500 just did 3923watts certified at 1ohm at 12.74volts, holy crap... No wonder myXFL 12's blew even though it was clean power

      They will. If you like i will PM the whole story as to not put it on blast. But they are going to go up shortly.

  4. So my gf and I just used a heat gun that I use for shrink wrap to make indoor s'mores.

  5. Decided that a complete OFC rewire is in order before TD. CCA was good, but not being able to get a dc 270XP yet, and the limitations to a single group 31 battery is hurting my overall voltage. Hoping this $300 venture can give me a extra overall volt full tilt.

      1 for 1, you should see a difference with the OFC.

  6. Soooo... If I were to put a vm-1 to try to measure how hot my woofers were, where would I put the sensor to get a reading with out interfering. Not really for an exact coil temp reading obviously.... More just along the lines of, "shit, there is 180degree air in there, better give them a rest"

      Ill just try to make sure I keep a nose out. I don't know why but since a XFL popped on me I've been crazy conservative on my woofers. Gain settings, trying to hold crazy high voltage .. Not playing them too long...

      lol, i don't know what my voltage is and i slam 20hz when i'm tuned in the mid 40s. nose install ftw

      And Chevyboy, not too true. I've had plenty of instances where I would switch Decaf songs and the next one would be a totally different spot on the knob than the previous. DJSNT is generally louder as a whole though versus Decaf.

  9. I love first impression ear o meters of certain friends. Stock alt, zv4 12's tuned to 33. On 2k. Calls a 147 out the gate. Here I am, same cone area. Tripple the electrical. Double the power. Actually does a 47. My box must suck huh?

  10. So could i be having instant voltage drops that dim my lights but don't register on my stinger POS meter? Just changed to OFC, holding almost 14 volts now vs 12.2. But my car lights still dim when its full tilt.

      Rarely does my meter pick up the whole 1v drop from my window motors

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Yes. Headunit is set with -0 with +6 sub level. Max volume 56/60 clean on dd1. Gains set -5. Only play decaf. But amp protects on certain songs. Could it be I'm wired .5 ohm nominal and box rise isn't saving me? It seems to only do it on certain songs full tilt. Even 80% LC-1 and i never have the issue.

    4. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Im just trying to connect what is protecting my amp with what i think it could be. Being that its related to output… its not thermal.. and I'm pretty sure its not arch because i don't see any signs of it. So that leaves me with DC off set, and overload protection.

  11. some people make me laugh.. when i sat in this guys car it sounded like a 39-40. non sealed off 2 xfl's on a ct1400.1 with no electrical and bad grounds dropping to 11.0 volts. Now he texts me saying that he opened his trunk and is way louder then my car. Which is sealed. Has a better box. Twice the power. Twice the electrical. 120sq feet more deadener. Either i got crazy cancelation or someone is just being silly and over exaggerating.

      Swordlordboy1234

      ill let the meter speak for itself. Honestly I'm hoping for a 148 in the 33-38hz range. Last time i thought it was a 145 it did a 144.8 so I'm pretty sure I'm close. Im just frustrated at ignorance and wanted SMD to calm me down before i sound like an asshole and lose a bass friend because i wanna tell him how dumb he sounds saying he is doing a 148 when he sounded like a 139-140 with most of that being roof rattle while he is playing 50hz.

    3. Swordlordboy1234

      Swordlordboy1234

      Lol now he just text me saying " Yeah maybe it wasn't as loud as yours, your right… but i bet its a solid 145!!! idk man its on another level!!!"

      So he dropped more then 3 db in a hour over text.

      What keeps you guys going even when your feeling burnt out.?

      mrd6

      I think I better question would be does anyone NOT ever feel burnt out at college. I dont know what your major is but when I got my degree in EE there were definitely times were I stopped caring and gave up on certain things. But, 4 years goes by faster than you think. Stick with it, it gets easier after you graduate.

      So was your stinger giving the wrong output?

      Swordlordboy1234

      stinger wasn't giving wrong output. it was actually exactly on. just reading too slow to catch the dips…. and i haven't tested it yet grant. I should…. but i really try not to hurt the amp and put it in protect. I think i might later tonight on my next drive. Test it if its the voltage spiking or not.
