Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I did all that and get a sub with better cooling? that makes no sense they have power handling for a reason... I shouldnt need a better sub to run rated. If this doesnt run 1500RMS dave owes me $450 lol Im not gonna run a BTL to get 1500RMS just because it can take a 1500RMS clipped signal without getting warm... I bought a 1500RMS sub for 1500RMS i can only say this so much lol Im not even gonan question my woofer anymore I know its rated it can handle it easy its something in the setup or electrical that ive missed what COULD cause this thats not related to my subwoofer?

I posted other things about electrical. other things might be shitty ground, bad power wire, bad connections as to the sub.. not all power ratings are perfectly true... i didnt read all the posts, but have you even checked what your voltage is playing full tilt? at the alt, batt, and amp? test each one to see how your voltage is and to see if one is lower than the others. you might also wanna try to run a ground wire along with the power wire back to the amp. 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...

I have checked voltage its 13.2 at lowest accross the board sometimes 12.5 at the lowest idle. and Dave from PSI built and tested it he says it does 1600RMS daily and im running 1500RMS or less so you're saying Dave who built my subwoofer is a LIAR and his tests were lies? But Ill try some suggestions and report back tommorow keep em coming guys...

AMI CUSTOMS Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Plain and simple if you are getting the woofer hot, you are likely clipping the shit out of it. Where is your bass boost set at and all your filters. And the power handling number is great, but really doesn't mean shit, if you are clipping it hard.

Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I agree whcih is why I said i think im clipping lol... Subsonic is set to 30. LPF is set to 80 everything is flat man bass is 0 i never use bass boost Honestly though I cant read my amplifier too well theres only a min and max one ach setting so I put LPF at half and Subsonic at 1/4. I dont even have a bass knob lol amplifier gain is less than half of half...

Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 How do I check my grounds with a DMM so I can check my battery ground AND amplifier ground.

STEvil Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 You dont check grounds with a DMM. You either did them right or wrong.. What is your box tuned at? Fs of the sub means nothing about how low you can play if your box is tuned to 50hz.. MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Also what size is the speaker wire going to this sub? And you CAN check grounds with a DMM. DMM set to DC voltage Step 1 - Place meter pos lead on pos stud of battery, neg lead on neg stud of battery, record reading Step 2 - Leave pos lead on pos stud of battery or amp 12v+ and move neg lead to your grounding locations, this reading should be same as reading in step one Step 3 - If step 2 is more then .5 volt difference then step 1, bad connection point, so make it better TEAM SOUNDQUBED -- TEAM SOUTH TEAM S.O.B. - Founder & Captain 3x Streetbeat World Record Holder 2017 MWSPL 1st place Mayhem & 4th Xtreme 4 2016 MWSPL 1st place Mayhem/2nd Adv 4/2nd Xtreme 4 2015 MWSPL 2nd place Mayhem & 4th Xtreme 4 2014 USACI 2nd place Streetbeat 5 - 162.6 db 2014 MWSPL 2nd place Xtreme 4 - 144.9 db 2013 USACI 1st place Streetbeat 4 - 161.9 db 2013 USACI 1st place Street Q+ - 162.8 db 2013 MWSPL 3rd Kaos2 & 4th Xtreme 4 2011 USACI 2nd place MOD 1001-2k - 160.0 db 2011 MWSPL 4th place: Adv3 - 157.8 db, Kaos2 - 150s db, Xtreme4 - 140s db 2010 ARSPL 1st place 501-750 - 160.3 db Arkansas loudest Best score to date 164.4 db - Termlab Outlaw Streetbeat 4 - 161.9 db Streetbeat 5 - 162.6 db MWSPL on Dash Legal door open (Music) - 162.5 db Sealed on dash Legal (Music) - 161.1 db - Termlab THE BLACK NASTY CURRENT BUILD & FAB The Black Nasty (6) 15 Rebuild Log 2012 (4) 15 Walled Sierra Build Log Evo X build log Facebook page The Black Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
