CortezDTV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 If you havnt poped them you WILL NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE OR ARE NOT OUT OF PHASE I seriously recommend you do this first with each sub One sub probably isn't going to move out as much, that sub that doesn't is wired wrong!

CortezDTV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Do you have direct leads or push terminals Quote SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amart88 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Do you have direct leads or push terminals Push terminals also heaty shrinked on. I just swapped amps and now the other woofer is moving less (opposite. So it may be something with the amp? Edited August 4, 2012 by Amart88 Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

Guest Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 when you matched them with a dmm, did you happen to turn the gain up on the one that had less voltage from after being tuned with the dd1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortezDTV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Have u tried poping them yet? Is it the same amp the one moving less both times? Might be an amp issue causing the subs to work against each other, hence the smell..... mine did that at the beginning because one coil was wired wrong, havnt had a problem since and I run 5k to each so im pretty sure power to the sub isn't the issue Is the phase on one amp off? are the settings on the amp the same? do you have a clamp meter can u clam each amp indivually?

I can't remember. I have a clamp meter but cant seem to figure it out. I also tried just that amp. and there was no bass at all and then after a while it came back. but still barely moving the cone with it cranked. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

CortezDTV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 when 1 coil is out of phase but everything is wired up right, then one sub will move a lot less, still move in same direction sometimes but about 1/4 of the movement of the other.... It really seems like ur wired wrong..... Are u wired series on the sub (+ to -) then the other + and - (from oppisite sides) going to the amp? Check the series connection (+ to -) on the sub and made sure its not going + to + or - to -.... seemes stupied but I've done it.....

Yes, I have a clamp (need some help on using it) Both amps settings are identical, Phase is off on both amps (they are not strapped) Yes I did a pop test for each coil. I held the neg wire on the nef of 9v and touched the pos and the cone moved out. I did that for all of them. Quote My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

CortezDTV Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Try 1 amp to both subs see if they they play together fine if they do, there is a problem with ur amp If they don't its ur wiring ^^^^ use the amp that u havnt had the issue with so we can baseline ur problem That is the question we need answered it will show if its the amp or sub Quote SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that for all of them. if they all poped the proper direction it seems like the amp... try what I sujested above with 1 amp to both subs to see if they will play the same, if they still do react the same ur wiring is off Quote SCSB Santa Cruz Speaker Box Build logs: Daily Driver Lemon Marquis 2 american bass 750.1s 350.4 on 14 focal 6.5s sq 945 on 4 hertz tweeters Mystery subs http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 The Mustang 'dubbed' Shirley the project from bullet holes to badass http://www.stevemead...cond-skin-time/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
