Bored`N`Def Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 equipment: dc xl 12" dual 2 running at 4 ohms on a fosgate 1500bdcp (about 1100 rms @ 4 ohms), factory alternator 135amp, yellow top up front, kinetik 2000 in rear, big 3, 1/0 front to back. when running at 38/40 or higher on my head unit, a few songs can make my sub stinky. is this due to lack of power from my factory alternator?

MrSkippyJ Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 could be the song, improperly set gains, H/U, EQ settings, battery voltage. Lots of things. Why are you running it at 4 ohms rather than 1?

teamace24 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Make sure your amplifier is not clipping so basically the gain level might be too high.

audiofanaticz Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I also dont understand why you are running the amp at 4 ohms ( or wonder if you even have the coils wired correctly). More then likey if it is at 4 ohms, you have your gain or bassboost jacked all high to make up for running the amp at 4 ohms ( prob close to 8 ohms after impedance rise) not making crap for power even with the amp being the "constant power" series. So Im sure your amp is making nothing but clipped and distorted power, causing your voice coils to run extremely hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey0928 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The only way an xl can get stinky on that amp is if you are clipping it to hell What head unit do you have? Most units can only go up 75% without clipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bored`N`Def Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 is it new? no, 3ish months old could be the song, improperly set gains, H/U, EQ settings, battery voltage. Lots of things.Why are you running it at 4 ohms rather than 1? running at 4 ohms so i don't fry my factory alt while my mechman is being fabricated Make sure your amplifier is not clipping so basically the gain level might be too high. Whats the rms on that sub and is it in the right box? gain is set around 4~5. rms on the dc xl is 1500 no the signal you are feeding it is clipped to shit. What headunit is it. pioneer avh-p4300dvd I also dont understand why you are running the amp at 4 ohms ( or wonder if you even have the coils wired correctly).More then likey if it is at 4 ohms, you have your gain or bassboost jacked all high to make up for running the amp at 4 ohms ( prob close to 8 ohms after impedance rise) not making crap for power even with the amp being the "constant power" series.So Im sure your amp is making nothing but clipped and distorted power, causing your voice coils to run extremely hot! eq is flat, no bass boost, sub level at 0, crossover is at 80hz The only way an xl can get stinky on that amp is if you are clipping it to hellWhat head unit do you have? Most units can only go up 75% without clipping ^^^ that is what i was thinking. H/U is listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
