412 CVX Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 i've had a similar problem with my car. your problem is likely lack of electrical support. you didn't mention any electrical upgrades, so i'm assuming everything is stock? if that's the case there's really nothing you can do about it until you can get better electrical support.

My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

strebors Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 yea was figuring the power issue was my problem, i lowered the gain to a little over half, the subsonic filter stayed at 25ish, moved lp filter to 60 and bass eq down to +2 and doesnt cut out but i know it can do more but not without upgrading wire, battery, alt thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
