nCOMP1337 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 besides any cheaper quality equipment or possible clipping, ive ran close to what you got on similar alt, no big 3 and i never had an issue, only i had a nice amp and cheap subs, my next setup is 1500-2000 range and i only have an extra bat at the moment, but ive been assured by many that i should be alright, my alt is a 120a alt i believe and ill have big 3 and all 0gauge Cool? How does this help me? :-p and how is a 120a alt similar to a 90a? and you also have an extra battery I'd say your electrical is way better than mine especially if you're running a more efficient amplifier. My box is 6.8cft 27hz it does seem to get hotter with the new box but not much... It did this on my last box which was much different. I'm guessing im gonna have to bite the bullet and just get a XS battery for the rear and another run of 0 gauge. i said my next setup will have the different alt and extra battery i was only saying ive had similar equipment only the cheaper part was the subs not amp, im happy to admit i dont know tons about car audio, i thought id just share i had similar setup and didnt have much of an issue and was suggesting that maybe its how things are setup up, im not sure, box may play a factor or tuning may also play a factor, maybe the way things are installed there isnt enough cooling or breathing room for stuff i didnt mean to make a post that wasnt helpful in anyway, normally people dont get mad when pay share similar experiences, maybe similar experiences but some get hot and some dont, means you can see how they ahd stuff setup and what may be different between setups, but if you just want to bash people who have had similar experiences and cannot just breakdown and list possible problems with your install, but possibly lend a bit of help another way, then sorry ill of course leave the help to the knowledgeable ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nCOMP1337 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 well i just saw the post about getting hot with smell I saw this with a pair of kicker cvrs, however they only got hot when playing low and only smelled when a tone was under a certain level, like maybe 28Hz, in this instance even though the supposed Fz of the cvr is like 20 or 25, i dont think they liked playing that low at least in that particular type of box, could that be an issue, maybe that even though its a quality sub it doesnt like playing that low in that box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 maybe playing below your tuning level? and you should really check it with a oscope or seomthing a dmm only gets you so far on that That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well dave says the Fs on my subwoofers allows it to play 27hz and that it shouldnt be a problem im thiking box size is my biggest problem not tuning... As my 18" is good down to 5cft. it deffinatly gets hotter quicker on real hard lows thats for sure but subsonic is set so its weird.

Sounds EXACTLY like my problem have you talked to dave? Maybe these subwoofers are meant to get hot? weird... i have no access to an oscope and im not buying one ill wait for the smd sensor thing to come out this will have to do. I cant play much below tuning level I have SSF and im tuned @ 27hz lmao.

fritosaregood Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 too much to read before i give my answer, but my girls camaro ran a 1500rms setup for the longest time with stock electrical, only the big 3 upgrade. then backed down to the big 1.5 and it still does great. her battery is also a pos walmart one that wont even keep her lights on with the car off for 10 minutes without draining it. as for pioneer decks clipping, ive scoped mine to go up to 61 of 62 without clipping. if your clipping at 40 then you just have lots of settings up way too high(most likely got that "loud" setting on). if you have a pioneer deck set the eq to flat, bass at 0, loud off, and the aux and cd level to 0 then you wont clip till 61 or 62 as for what you can do to keep your sub from getting warm... sub with better cooling.. or not run your system full tilt constantly. if you still want to bump up voltage just put the biggest xs batt you can fit under your hood. seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
