Guest Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 that amp is like 1500w. has a 150a fuse on it. so you're probably just clipping the crap out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA98hoe Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 How's it sound are you sure your sub is wired right... also 3/4 is a lot ..if your going to do it off ear id start at 11 o'clock..plus 2ohms plus rise is probably just a few hundred watts ..so its underpowered..my mayhems get hot but I'm pushing 4k each to them and that's after 30secs fulltilt Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

pioneerpoundingspl Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 @B dog thanks alot man didnt know about those shows. I live in Maple Ridge. Turned the volume boost off It Deffinately got louder with that extra battery. The reason the cones heating up has to be due to low voltage guess an Alternator is in need! TeamHT gain is at 3 quarters I had everything cranked when I had my 12"s and literally listened to them for 2 years straight as loud as they could be and never once did I have a problem with the amp or anything else woofers never stunk up once! I understand what your saying. Thanks guys for the help always appreciated! Quote 134db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneerpoundingspl Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 To be honest it sounds great, I do have 8 mids n highs in the truck though so its always sounded good. By turning the volume boost down I noticed better sq. Like i said im deffinately just in need of a proper alt. The one I have is supposively a 240amp rebuilt alt which I know for a fact its nothing near that. I just dont have 500 dollars to buy an alternator right now so down the road i guess Quote 134db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew low voltage can make an amp run inefficiently and thus get hot, can it really go down the line and affect the performance of the sub?

pioneerpoundingspl Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 My amp gets hot but honestly All my premier equipment has taken a beating for over 5 years. Im the second owner of it and I honestly couldnt of asked for better starter equipment. Well I know for a fact that my 12"s were heating up big time before i had voltage problems swapped an alt and battery and turned the gains up more and they never got warm once for 2 years Quote 134db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathcards Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) http://www.crutchfie...tml#details-tab gonna guess this is your head unit has 4v preouts, turn your gain and/or gains down 3/4 is shit ton, and you should be able to turn the subwoofer level up without clipping but i would do within reason there is such thing as too good of a good thing btw what is your subsonic filter at? also i would probably suggest meeting with bdog and use his dd-1 Edited July 12, 2012 by deathcards Quote skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
