That's a crazy machine, Steve! Very VERY good specs...!

Now all you need is some faster internet, am I right? haha

Wow it looks nice Steve, good job.

How does that "strong" fiber thing you put on ("hard as a turtle shell") work?

ME GUSTA! Wow it looks awesome Steve.

What did it cost? And is there a lot of customizing?

Oh wow, I didn't notice it was a thread on the 5th page until now...

[Amp "scratchy" or "crackle" sound when playing high volume]

Okay guys, I'm sitting here with a 4 ampere battery charger for a car... Should I try to hook it up with that?

[Amp "scratchy" or "crackle" sound when playing high volume]

Why are you "testing" it at 80-90hz?

Its a subwoofer, typically 30-50hz is a good listening range.

Goes down to 40 Hz on my amp, but the point of this whole topic is the problem where I can't turn up the music.

Sound quality comes in second row.

RooTxBeeR - Don't worry, it doesn't change anything while I'm testing.

HatersGonnaHate - Sorry man, I can't afford that... Costs too much considering I'm only testing this out.

[Amp "scratchy" or "crackle" sound when playing high volume]

Hmm, okay guys.. So it's a power problem...

Would it work if I took a 12v battery charger?

[Amp "scratchy" or "crackle" sound when playing high volume]

then you need to wire the B+ and REM together if you have no headunit in your home.

what are you running the amp off of? a battery? a battery and a charger? etc?

edit: i would keep the gain as LOW as possible since you dont have probably remotely enough current to supply the amp. And cranking the gain is not something you should do to compensate if it doesnt get loud.

I already wired the REM and B+ together

And I'm running it off a battery eliminator that looks nearly like this: http://hauntmasterproducts.com/photos/131.jpg

The only change, is that there's no 9V battery plug, it's just 2 non isulated cables.

[Amp "scratchy" or "crackle" sound when playing high volume]

the only thing, if he has the + and remote connected together, makes me think this is in his home.

Yes, you're right about that.

This is in my home, for testing it.

When I move it to my car, I'll hook it up as it should be.

[Amp "scratchy" or "crackle" sound when playing high volume]

Hey SMD forums.

I've bought a 15" 1500w subwoofer, and a 1200w 4ch amp.

On the power side I've got GND, REM and B+.

I hooked up minus to GND, and REM&B+ to plus (connected together).

I get a good sound from my subwoofer, which is connected to channel 3 & 4 bridged, but whenever I turn up the volume, I get a crackle sound. Like the amp can't handle the subwoofer. I got that busted by hooking up the amp to a smaller 400w subwoofer, and it had the same problem.

On the amp I've got these settings:

Gain about 60%.

L.P.F about 90 Hz

H.P.F about 80 Hz

Crossover on L.P.F

0dB treble

Super Bass 0dB

Could it be a wire problem?

When I try to set plus to just B+ (leaving REM empty) it doesn't power on, and when I try to set plus to REM (leaving B+ empty) it doesn't power on. It only powers on when I put REM and B+ on plus, and GND on minus...

Can anyone help me out?

Please don't flame me, this is my first post, and I thought this would be a good place to ask

Thanks in advance,

Morten
