Mlcantin Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I have 2 15'' vibe audio slicks and i think i am overpowering them somehow. On the drive home from school today i was playing bme click by lil jon and i could hear from the front of my car a vibrating/pinging noise from my subs on the really low notes. I put the subs in a sealed box volume recommended by vibe audio themselves and I am only using a polk audio pa880 amplifier that puts out around 700 watts peak and 350 watts rms to each subwoofer. Each subwoofer is rated at 1500 watts peak and 500 watts rms. There is no way in my mind that i can be overpowering these subs unless vibe audio completely lies about their subwoofer wattage ratings. Help or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsystemaniac Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 He means correctly. Use an oscope or dd-1. It is likely the shop did not use either of those Chevy astro 2 18s and 9k rms Walled!http://www.stevemead...rms-42-inch-tv/JEEP GRAN CHEROKEE SRT8 BUILD!2 JL AUDIO 15s trunk buildDC XL 15 buildDC level 3 18 buildhttp://www.stevemead...verunner-build/ http://www.facebook....hp?id=646651228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is likely the shop did not use either of those How much are those? $10000? $140 and up....and if no access is had to either, just make sure your bass boost is off and keep the gain down, also make sure that the rest of the amp settings are set correctly. I will personally go and buy you one if you give me 10 grand in return though.

ChevyBoy95 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Most audio shops go off of what sounds right to whoever is setting the gain. For all you know other filters, bass boost, etc could be incorrect.

Mlcantin Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I reset it myself without having to purchase a dd-1. Although it isnt as loud as what i hoped 2 15s would be. Sucks may have to upgrade to a 2500 watt rms system to be satisfied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
