cris2216 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 i have 3 pioneer premier pro 12's which are 1,000 watts rms and powering them is a powerbass xa3000d @1.34ohms. the gain on the amp is at 1/4 up and the bass boost is all the way down and after a song or 2 the subs start to smell but not too bad. is it that my box is too big? its about 5 cubes before sub dis. tuned to around 30-32 hz or should i just change the subs?

spldreams Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 what is your electrical like running that amp? if it does rated power you need some electrical upgrades to run it efficiently. you could be pre maturely clipping due to voltage drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
