El1T3Bass Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Okay this thread is terrible only like 4 people here know what they are talking about If I were you I'd have a whole new run of 1/0 to the trunk for ground so that way you eliminate the grounding issue and then get and xsd2400 or bigger up front. Boom, no more problems. Good luck and goodnight Ps I ran 3000ish watts on 100% stock electrical besides big 3. And right now I'm tuning my rf 2500bd-cp on stock with big 3 with hardly any voltage drop. Stock ftw!!! wow now this just shows that smd isnt just any forum. We are a brother hood. here let me put it in retard-onix for u aareehhhh duuuurrrrr ehhh got it now? Sweet baby jesus the amount of quoting the quote above the quote in a quote is epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock electrical varies smart guy it looks like you're running a newer Trail Blazer so whats that? like a 150a STOCK? You're also running efficient amplifiers ALL setups are different and yes I'm going to do that run my ground to the front battery because im sick of ground issues or possiblities. and why would I want a XS2400? I only need like a 1200? lol Grand Cherokee Team Backwoods Bumpers DC 15" Level 3's /w 4 Coils Pioneer deh4200ub Pioneer 3-ways Pioneer Tweeters Pioneer GM-D9500F Audiopipe 1500.1D @ 14.4v Clarion Equalizer Knuconeptz Kollosus 0ga Knuconpetz Kollosus 4ga Coming Soon: 270xp / xs1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ok just went outside this is what I've done: Checked idle voltage with car on: 13.95-14.0v (warm) Checked power from Alternator from battery full tilt: 13.98 lowest was 13.93 Checked ground to battery: 13.98 constant (ground was perfect) Check Power at amplifier and ground: Read EXACTLY the same maybe .01-.02 difference then upfront. Set Head Unit to play @ 48volume instead of 58 (helped a TINY bit) Set LPF @ half on my amplifier and @ 80 on my HU Set SSF @ half of half on my amplifier (probably 30hz) Set Gain to 1500RMS VIA DMM with 50hz 0db tone from Decaf. I checked the subwoofer hot a fawk! after 5 minutes of doing this could it be the sun? its like 90-95 degrees here. I NEVER went below 13v hell I dont even think it went below 13.5v most the time it was close to 14v. So what does this mean? my grounds seem to check out just fine doesnt mean i wont change them up to something better but I dont think its that or my wire. Even when I first built the box it didnt seem to get this hot im about the chalk it upto the weather since my jeeps not tinted and it was hot as fuck in there when I went to test and this morning when I stuck my hand on the dustcap before even playing it felt like it gonna blow from the heat lol Then again this didnt happen last summer to my Fi 15" and the smell doesnt make sense ugh any more suggestions guys since I just narrowed it all down?

fritosaregood Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 i guess it is the sub then... 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...
Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hmm.. I don't get how though? does this mean I should contact dave for a recone or rebuild? ugh... I dont get how it CAN be the subwoofer ive done nothing to it to make this change happen except build a bigger/lower box.

fritosaregood Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 have you clamped the amp to see exactly how much power is coming out? 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...
Sammitch0 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 No I have no clamp but I'd imagine close to 14v full tilt it cant be electrical issues... Ill see if I can dig one up. How do I test with a clamp?

fritosaregood Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 put the clamp around the positive speaker wires, and a DMM on the pos and neg wires. find the current and voltage at any given frequency, multiply the current by the voltaged and youll get your power after rise. I would do several frequencies. that will tell you how much power youre getting after drop and rise. 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...
