qcbangin Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 yes. You have around 11in^2 of port area per foot. You might want a little more if possible, but that shouldnt cause your problem that your having now.... Do you have a DMM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassrace Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Have you checked every speaker and coils? If not you might want to just to make sure none are acting as a passive radiator. Have you checked all your wires? To make sure theres no bad/loose connections. Just trying to trouble shoot.

qcbangin Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 how will i know if any are acting as a passive radiator? i have checked and double checked all wires and connections. my voltage is bottoming out at about 14.1volts on deep bass notes. not 100% sure my gains are set correctly, so not sure if they're clipping. can't hear any audible distortion, though Have you checked every speaker and coils?

bassrace Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Well go through and check every single coil with the DMM make sure they're all reading around whatever ohms they are. Like if its a 4 ohm sub it will not be exact it might read 3.8,3.9,4.0,4.1,4.2 you get the idea. You need to look for ir either not reading an ohm load or jumping numbers( like whole digits not points) That way you will know they all are working.

qcbangin Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 yes i've done that. the only problem i came across with the wiring is when i first got them. i wired them using the jl wiring diagram and couldn't get them to drop to 1.33ohms. lowest i got them was 2ohms. they are all dual 4ohm. i had to end up wiring 2 and 2 and 2 into the amp Well go through and check every single coil with the DMM make sure they're all reading around whatever ohms they are.
