CHEVY4X4BLAZER Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 I have a DD 12 that I purchased from a friend. It seems to play fine but it gets warm / hot VERY quickly on low power. It doesn't have a model number. Just silver top and back plates with a double stacked magnet in a magnet boot. Red DD letters on the dustcap. I assume its a 4 ohm coil as there are only 1 set of direct leads. Its currently in a sealed box. What kind of problem / issue am I facing? I've given it maybe 200 rms. Quote
SasquatchREG32 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) 200 rms is the problem lol. Gotta know model etc etc. I have no experience but from what I've heard they need 1000+ rms. Goodluck! Edited October 5, 2011 by SasquatchREG32 Quote
Supercharged DCs Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Pictures? Sounds to be either a 1012 or 1512. How are your gains set? Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

Goodluck! wait... are you suggesting that underpowering a sub is bad for it? tsk tsk that and the generalization of all DDs need 1k rms is dumb Quote -Matt2005 Dodge Magnum RTJVC KD-AVX1 2 PPI S580.2 Obsidian Audio ST1 Horn Tweeters PRV 8MB450s Audio Legion 3500.1D 2 RE MT 18s 360 ah LiFePO4 BatterySHCA 2/0 155.2 @ 29 hzKicker CVR 15's buildDD 3512e buildMini T-Line Build(6) 8s BuildNightshade 15s Wall BuildMagnum AB XFL 12s BuildNewest Magnum Build
