01VWGREENMACHINE Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 ok i have a friend who just got 2 rf p3's they are 600 rms each and he has a 1000 rms eclipse amp and i tuned everything thing in with the DD1 and we played blue berry yum yum and about 30 seconds into the song when it started to hit really hard we got the lovely electrical burnt smell its a rockford fosgate prefab box built to spec for these subs. just trying to figure out what may have caused this its a 2004 dodge neon with stock alt stock batt and stinger 4gauge wire no cap and a sony explode hu not my setup just trying to help him out any ideas would be awesome thanks!

t-money Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 its prolly from playing full tilt to far below that box's tuning. just a little advise. just cuz the manufacture sells the sub and box combo doesnt mean the box is built to spec. and i promise it isnt tuned low low. the just take a prefab box slap the "name brand" on it and jack up the price Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new guy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) its more then likely the box or amp is clipping. edit: just went back and re read and id put my money on clipping.

01VWGREENMACHINE Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Unless the DD1 failed to tune it i dont think its clipping Quote http://www.stevemead...f-system-build/ 2001 VW GTI with a 1.8T motor BIG 3 Pioneer AVH-4200DVD DOUBLE DIN HEAD UNIT 6 - 4 VOLT PREOUTS RF T1500-BDCP (running at 2 ohm) RF T400.4 RF T1 D212 x2 (in ported box) RF 1/0 TO 4 GAUGE distribution block x 2 all stinger wires 200a alternator (SINGER ALT) RF T2652-S (6.5 MID BASS AND 1" TWEETS in front and rear) KINETIC HC 800 BATTERY (Front) KINETIC HC 1200 BATTERY (BACK) 120ft of 1/0 stinger blue and clear matt 20ft of 4 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 30ft of 8 gauge stinger blue and clear matt 100ft of 12 gauge stinger speaker wire black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-money Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 normaly i would say clipping but if u tuned it correctly with the dd-1 im gonna say its the box. look up the specs on the subs i will bet the box doesnt match the specs. besides i no blueberry yum yum is low. so u need to build a new box to correct spec and tune it low. i will bet that will help u.

C-Fizzy Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 its more then likely the box or amp is clipping. edit: just went back and re read and id put my money on clipping.

OrionStang Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Maybe the song itself is clipped to hell. What is the source of the track? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-money Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 also are you playing from iphone or ipod or something Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back and rereread. He tuned it with a dd1. There is no clipping or distortion. My money is on the box. you can still clip even if the amp was set with a dd1. i bet your friend turned up his bass setting on the hu all the way and the box was made by fosgate and i dont think they would sell a box that was designed so bad it would make the subs too hot to touch in 30 seconds. hell i ran my l7 15 in a shitty prefab 2.2 net box tuned to mid 40s. ive played full tilt for hours on all kinds of music with out it getting 'hot Quote *current* 1991 honda crx si 2 skar audio 12s pioneer 6.5s dual 400 watt amp audio technix db 1/0 wiring kit. dual head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
