ok. yeah low isnt the goal. its just versatility. shes doesnt have mids and highs. well not after market. they sound ok but this isnt a SQ just not a full basshead set up haha. im thinking tune to 34-36 and seal from trunk. any recom on box size? its an m1 so idk if that matters. and like i said its gettin 1k outta the underrated 1200.
-
lol loud as we can get it. but we dont want a brp box thats all. and ok i thought sealeing it would do that just wanted to double check. and tomorrow i am going to double ceck the dimmensions those are just close ones

Hey guys. just got a dc lvl 4 10 m1 D2 for my sister. going to be going into a mazda 626 es. the back seats do fold down. will be powered buy concept hpn 1500. prob get around 1k clean so it'll be underpowered especially because they are known to handle more. . . she listens to all types of music. nothing low really just average music listener. id like to do sub forward as well as port and seal it off from the trunk. max dim are 12-15 high. anything deep. and 35 wide. any help or suggestion on ideas would be awesome. havnt done a sealed from runk before. . . is it that much better?
-
Thinking cpillar. as idk if i can fund two more subs and amps and eletrical haha. and yes ive changed my mind alot. i dont have the money to spend on trial and error for what i want but plans are narrowed down. sticking with lvl 4 18s for quite some time now.
-
Because i am unsure if i want to go all out and wall off the jeep and lose my seats
-
right now i have a 99 grand cherokee with 1 dc lvl 4 18 m2. i want to get a 2nd. and even 3 more for 4 total. . . if i do do 4. then i am going to b pillar wall as there is no way i can fit a 24 cube box in the rear lol. but if i cpllar 2 lvl 4s i can make it work. would it be benificial to do a cpillar or no?
-
So i redid with the car off, (i think that was it) and things seem to be better. sub gets warm after some serious bumpin and time and little smell but i believe that cuz of a dirty song so. thank guys!!

how about a pair of these up front? http://www.woofersetc.com/p-7330-ks-6006-arc-audio-65-component-set.aspx
-
so any suggestons on some component sets?? and why not put comps in the rear? nothing special just something?
-
i agree on the long way part i guess. but why wait? id rather spend the money on a great sounding front stage then a simple set of comps. . . but if i were, any suggestions?
-
Basically i want to add some nice strong clear mids and highs to my system. right now i have big 3. DC level 4 18, American bass HD3500. stock speakers. my kenwood deck has 3 outs so thats good.. . . i was thinking about adding some 8's 6.5's and tweets in the front doors. and some basic (well still decent) 6.5 components in the rear doors. i have a 99 jeep grand cherokee. going to do some modifying to the doors panels so dont worry about depth and such. i want an active front stage and passive rear. i am thinking a 4 channel for my 8's and 6.5's and a 2 channel for my tweets. and then a 2 channel for the rear. the more i look i see the that 8's are basically big 6.5's, as far as freq response so why are they good to have? any suggestions on what i should get would be very heplful as im very very new to this. budget is about 150 for eack pair ( 8's, 6.5s, tweets, and rear 6.5s) so 600 total. amps i havnet gotten to haha
and id really like the brand of the speakers to match each other justsayin

car is usually on, why would i want it off? and sub isnt hookhed up. and no bass knob, only gain. which i put in the middle, but never go above that either. . . as far as the EQ. i turned them down when i did the amp, didnt see the matter but ok ill leave it flat until after amp is seteverything flat. That measns bass and treble at '0', not -8 and -4. Leave your gain all the way down. Play the tone you want, and slowly increase the gain until the clip light comes on. Then back it down a notch.
Are you using a remote bass knob?
Are your speakers hooked up when you are setting the amp? Should not have subs hooked up.
Is your car off? Should be off.
-
the only thing i see is to keep the eq flat until after i set the amp gains. . . ive done it both ways and haven't noticed a difference in gain on the amp. . everything else i did seems to be correct
after work im going to switch my wire. and DD1 it all again but i mean ive done it like 50 times to see if i did it wrong so :/
-
doing so right now. . .
-
How am i not following it? im not disagreeing with you but can you tell me what im doing wrong, i thought i read it correctly :/you are not even remotely following the manual for the dd-1
-
imma try the wire upgrade ( was doing that anyways, tune to -5db (still a 4 or so db jump. and ill tune with sub hooked up. and the song i can notice it one is play my game by gucci which i got from a decaf zip also the song play my game by dorrough, same zip. . . those are just some i noticed the smell
-
wire down to one ohm. .What do you have it wired to?
its and american bass HD 3500. . 1600rms at 1ohm not 3500. so even so in perfect world its getting 200rms more (prob more like getting 1300-1400rms clean)3500w RMS isn't a small amount to run to a single level 4. Probably just a little too much power, turn down your gain a hair. And don't play full tilt 24/7

track 1 to find head unit white is a Kenwood KDC352u (i belive) thats 40hz at 0db (just to confirm) deck doesnt clip on EQ all at 0. so then i turn bass to -8 mid to -4 and treble is at 0.
i go to my amps, turn my gain knob (not bass boost) to half and use track 5 40hz at -10db i believe. . . and usually i back it down a hair, so its more than -5db but not quite -10. . sub isnt hooked up when i do so and voltage sits around 13.45 when i do it
-
i guess not no. i do not know for a fact its the coil. but i figured it was, i smelled the wire and couldnt really smell anything, smelled amp, nothing. but the dust cap to the sub gets hot thats why i thought it was the coil. old sub did it to, (skar vvx 15, diff amp but still DD1)You know for a fact it's the coil?
-
Just got a new Level 4 18 D2. and a new american bass HD 3500. when i play full tilt, after a minute or so i can smel the coil. . .amp and HU are tuned with DD1. Box is tuned to 32hz and is 6 net cubes. basic l port. . . the wires for sub are cheap 16 gauge (dont get hot though) and 8 gauge came in today. . . stock everything except for big three. . .
voltage sits around low 13's on full tilt and some notes will even go down to 12.8 . . . someone said that its cuz im tuning amp without speaker hooked up and when my voltage drops its dirty singnal. . does this sound correct? if so i thought with the dd1 when voltage drops amps would still be clean, less power? or does it in fact turn dirty on low voltage?
-
i think he was referring to signer. . . but he has a 1992. that probably matters a lot. def dont cheap out on an alt!
-
I know you want used but i have same jeep and i got quoted for a 250a singer for 410 shipped. just an option i guess

lol im not sure i guess. . . read it kinda quickly. i know as ohms drop current rises, which is the whole point of running lower ohms. but did you mean current draw on my amp from battery and such increase as well?
answered, ninja'd. thanks guys!
-
So dimming and voltage drop should stay the same? (i figured this as i know the ohm laws give or take just wanted second opinion)

would making it 10 high put the screws through the edge of the box?
