  2. Hard ride damaging sub?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by wonderboy

    So basically I'm stuck with a blown sub and a shitty amp. :poop:

    Looks like I better start savin them bucks again.

    Edit: I don't think you guys understand how hard my car gets bounced around sometimes, I really think it could break some equpiment. But that still doesnt change the fact that my sub is blown.

    Its all in my sig, amp is a SoundStorm EV5000D @ 1 ohm. Big 3 in 0 gauge, and a XS Power D3400 under the hood.

    Gain was just over halfway up, and it sounded really clean and like it could take more power. I haven't played it out of the box but just pushing on the cone you can hear it rubbing.

    off topic, your from south bend too! :hi: havent seen your car around

    I'm actually from Granger, but yea! The picture of my car was taken on the same parking garage as those pictures of your Jimmy I think. Haha small world.

    Last week I finally got my 15 in my Eclipse, and yesterday I had to take it out. The coil is rubbing pretty bad and it sounds like shit, but I'm not sure if its blown, as I've never blown a sub before and I'm not sure what that sounds like exactly. The sub is rated at 2500 rms and it was getting around 1800. Maybe the sub is just a piece of shit, BUT, could hard bumps (hard enough to make my windsheild wiper lever fall into the first notch) possibly have damaged my sub somehow? I've got 18 inch wheels and lowering springs, plus, most of the roads in Indiana are terrible. Sometimes you can't avoid some turbulence.

    Do your big three one run positive and negative and you will be fine up to about 250 amps on cca

    Alright, thanks

    Just curious on what brand you bought & why you aren't happy with it

    I don't think it had a brand name on it but it was about 80 bux on ebay for 50 feet. It looks like copper to me, unless you look really close at the ends of the strands, so I guess thats good. but its definitely not true 0 gauge.

    And yea, I am going to ground on my negative battery terminal.

    I bought some cheap CCA 0 gauge off ebay and I'm kinda regretting it already. My original plan was to do the big 3 and then have both a positive and a negative run from my battery up front to the amp in the trunk. Would I be better off doing that, or just doing two positive runs and then grounding to the chassis in back? Buying better 0 gauge isnt an option, unfortunately.

  14. Messy box glueing

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    So I started on a new box for my MA audio hk15 (haters gonna hate, right?) and I'm not slackin on the glueing. Its been getting pretty messy, and I was just wondering if you guys have any special tricks to keep the glue from dripping everywhere. Maybe I'm just messy, but I'm getting tired of glueing all my tools to the work bench.

    Just got one, but havent got the box built or got an amp yet. Right on the basket is a label that says 2500 RMS 5000 MAX, so I'm not sure how accurate sonic's specs are. Seems very well built to me though.

    Edit: And the magnet looks different too, so maybe its just a newer model and sonic hasnt posted the new pictures and specs yet.

    You have any pics you can put up? IDE like to see the new model if it's different from the ones im looking at

    Yea, I can put some up after i get home from work tonight.

  20. Crazy irregular shaped enclosure

    I'm not sure what you mean. I can't have the port facing forward at the top because the sub will be right there behind where the opening would be. And the port can't face up because the top side of the box is just wide enough to fit the sub. I think it'll be fine where I have it in my design now, I just have no idea how long it should be.

    The bump wont cover the port, thats the reason for that notch out of the bottom front edge of box. the port goes over the top of it. the top edge of the box will be against the top of the back seats, and since the seats are tilted, i'll have a few inches between the port and the back of the seats.

    And I'll just ride with the seats down anyways unless i need room for passengers.

    I really appreciate it, thanks, and I probably will need some advice here soon. And music without bass is almost not even worth listening to, I'd rather listen to the sound of my engine. lol
