blownengine Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Is the sub broken in? If he bought it used from Ricky then I would assume so. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

cjvue Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Good assumption but even a used sub could still be stiff. .. Especially the hdc3 My Build Log- T E A M S U N D O W N A U D I O - 2013 DbDrag WF SS1-2 - 5th Place 154.6db 2013 MECA Mod3 CA State Final Champ 153.4db Powered by: Sundown Audio
RickyFriery97 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Good assumption but even a used sub could still be stiff. .. Especially the hdc3 sub was still pretty damn stiff. i did beat on it a bit though so its partically broken in. HDC3s have really stiff suspension though 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer
cjvue Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Yes they are. I recommend breaking them with 500 watts or so on 20hz for a few hours.

qcbangin Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Posted October 29, 2011 it is still pretty stiff. you can barely move it when you push on it.
qcbangin Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Posted October 29, 2011 tuned to 37hz Also whats your box tuned to?
cjvue Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Cant really see the pic from my phone but based on what you describe on the openning thread, i would assume the setting are set conservatively. My take is this, if you sub doesnt unload at high volume then filters may set correctly. Gain set at 1/3 is ok, but with a budget amp, who knows a clean signal will be avoided. And if the box size is correct, i'll guess that the sub is not fully broken in. But if anything, i'll try a better amp.
