does having too much wire affect bass?


Recommended Posts

What up SMD bass heads!

So my friend wired his own system and got lazy, not hiding wires or anything like that he just wanted it working, his amp is 5 inches away from his box but he used about 10ft of speaker wire from sub to amp.

My question is: does having all that wire affect the bass?

When he plays a song it seems like the bass hits late like it stalls, does having too much wire do that or is something hooked up wrong? or why wouldn't be stalling?

System:

Pioneer head unit

2 kicker cvr

Alpine mrp-1000 amp

All the help is greatly appreciated.

No car at the moment.

it shouldn't, and the amount of resistance of that wire(10ft) compared to a 3 ft piece is negligible. And the length of wire shouldn't cause the timing of the bass to be off either.

it can, but in your case (or your friends case) it isn't. It would take LOTS of wire to have the effect you are describing. Try switching the polarity on your subs and see if that helps. OR change the phase switch if you sub amp(s) have it.

Thanks, maybe he just wired something wrong I'm gonna have to rewire everything then

I'll test the phase right now and check if he wired something wrong

2 weeks ago "In wikipedia i found that this sub in 1997's unofficial private SPLdB drag was burned down the dB meter! The dB was over 300 and the system burned down. Actually, 300dB is only about ¼ of this prototype sound level."

I don't know anything about guns... so when I saw the title I thought, "I wonder what kind of woofer the AR-15 is?"

*laughs*

Twisted, I would stay away from that guy, the next video he uploads could be you tied up in his living room while being forced to watch him "swag and cook" in person, lol.

Thanks for the info it actually was the phase it was turned up 80% when I turned it down it wasn't lagging anymore
