Too much power for lvl 6??


Recommended Posts

Missed that cj. I honestly think its a bit large for that much power it is still a four inch coil right? Throwing retarded amounts of power at a single woofer is never a good idea. If it was out of phase it would heat up but output should be reduced as well you'd think that would be noticeable in a single sub setup,

I dont think it is way too big, but I would be at 5-5.5 net.

Also he could be running into serious voltage drop and that could be causing issues as well. A 5k at .5 is a silly amount of draw

now that i think of it this sounds reasonable i see 3 xs3100 but no h/o alt and your running a dc 5K at .5 ohm

I would check what ray said. If the coil is wired out of phase that could cause this issue.

how would i check if it was out of phase i guess lol dont wanna do it wrong and do something i kno the phase setting on the amp is at 0. Sub level is 15/15 and i only drop .4 from 13.6 full tilt i got 5 xs d3100 lol

You said you used the DD1 on your amp, but when you checked you Headunit, was the sub level at 15/15? I always leave my sub level at 0 and then set my gain accordingly. This would be my first recommendation for adjustment.
