BFF Larry Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Even if the dmm is set at 2000, I would think it would read close to 2, you know, rounding up.

fox_racin4 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 its a D2 with another set of leads on the other side as well. Both read the same..Nothing at all d2 sub reading 1 on the dmm... to me this means its wired in parallel which will make it 1 ohm.... probly have a broken tinsel somewhere 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 3.5 cu ft for a single 12 on over its rms is wayyy too big imo. even after displacements i figure your box is at MINIMUM 2.25 cu ft net. the box you have i would say is only good for 4-650w rms, anything over that and your probably hurting the sub. again, this is just my opinion, but its something that maybe you should look into. big box = low watts smaller box = higher watts (source, many members from here in their build logs, etc etc..) 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackard11 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 The meter starts at 1 when nothing is on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheena Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 well regardless what the meter says, if you hook positive from the amp to the positive on the sub, negative on the amp, negative on the sub and you get no sound its a sub issue. especially when you hook another sub up to the amp, turn it on and it plays. skar does sell recone kits i do believe, theres not a sticky on it so you'll have to ask kevin or malib00m 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheena Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Recones are $45 if anyone is curious. could it be possible to add this information into the "SKAR VVX Subwoofer Series (8" 10" 12" & 15" Models)" sticky? or is that a no-no. and yes, i was actually curious because i own two VVX 12"s and eventually i'll have to do this so thanks for that info :] 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirill007 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Is that a D1, D2, or D4 sub? What is other coil reading? Or is that just a single 1ohm sub??????? More info, as Ive never seen a single 1ohm VC sub That 1 stands for infinite, which means there is no closed circuit. it might help if your dmm wasnt set for AC voltage maybe its set in the ohm area and you cant see it..... if it was in the AC voltage it probly would read 0 No it wouldn't, have you used a DMM before? It reads that way when the value is infinite. set for 200, more accurate reading..but im guessing your tinsels are smoked somewhere It won't read more accurate if it's a infinite value , only if the value is below 2ohm. d2 sub reading 1 on the dmm... No it's not it's rading infinite, have you used a DMM before? d2 sub reading 1 on the dmm... Thats what I was thinking.... Thinking wrong..(read above ) Even if the dmm is set at 2000, I would think it would read close to 2, you know, rounding up. again,have you even used a DMM before? It doesn't round up to 1 IF that was the value it was showing. It's showing a infinite value. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
