TheNewbie Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Was outside listenin to some music, seeing what raddles so i know where i need to eliminate the raddle, i went back inside the car and it smelled very closely like MDF board, I recently made this box so i figure that's possibe. I smelled right by the port, it's mdf board and something else. Not to strong. So i took it inside, took out the sub and theres a bunch of saw dust in there. So i'll be vacumming that out. But what was the other smell? I have my amp half gain it's 1000rms. Could it be my voltage is droppin low so it's clipping it to hell? Eclectrical is stock right now. Off topic, not sure why the Could is in the Title haha sorry bout that.

SS4Luck Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) How did you determine you need your gain set halfway?? Too many variables really. Start here. Sub, box and port tuning, amp Someone that knows more will come in and answer when you have more details up What kind of car do you know how many amps your stock Alt is? I'm running 1180 rms on stock electrical but I have a truck with a large alt Edited December 2, 2011 by SS4Luck Quote lol or you can just start hooking shit up together and blow up speakers and your amp
n8ball2013 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 so youre feeding a sub thats rated at 600 rms 1000 rms and have no idea what you are doing.

CJ18 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Gain half way is your problem. The only proper ways to set your gain is to either use a scope or DD1. Just turning it to half way without knowing all of the other variables is just a guess. Quote

TheNewbie Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 Alright, well least i know to turn it down now.. i'll wait till i can get the DD-1 and a DMM so i can set everything properly.. Sorry for the obviously stupid question. Time to turn the amp down. Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.
TheNewbie Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Posted December 2, 2011 Is there any other way to set my gains without O-scope, or a DD-1? Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.
