Endgame Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 That's a whole lot of amp for that sub.You may want to get another R to help eat that power. Trust No One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbox88 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 That's a whole lot of amp for that sub.You may want to get another R to help eat that power. It's only 200Wrms extra per sub, it's possible. Where in West MI are you btw? UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molina425 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Bigmescan- at the moment everything is at 0.because im not gna put them back in until i can figure iut the best way to set all my settings on the amp to not blow another sub. Endgame-I have 2 subs already.each sub is 1000 watts rms.so the 2400 watt amp shud be plenty for em. Lbox88-each sub is rated at 1000Wrms.not 200.and im not in west MI.im in Texas. Amp is 1 ohm stable so i deffinetly wna take advantage of that and have it wired at 1 ohm.so just need recomendations on where to set it all at.

TylerParrish Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 lol at some of your reading fails xD but no bass boost, gain should be set to whatever your headunits rca outs are, ans subsonic should be about 5 Hz below box tuning and low pass betweent 60 Hz-80 Hz. Do u know what your box is tuned to? or what tuning even means? What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?2013 Kia Forte Koup Pioneer AVH-X4600BT iDMax 12 DD M1c @ 2 ohms Rockford Prime 200.2 Pioneer 6.75" Comp Set XS S3400, D2700 Project DB Battery Terminals Axxess ASWC Stinger HPM Everywhereeee 90 Sq.

molina425 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Tyler parish-my box specs say port tuning at 35 hz.thats all the info as far as tuning goes on it. And honestly no i dont know 2 much about all of that type of information. Normally i just go to a shop and have it all done.but with ny job i hardly have any spare time to drive a few hours away to the ckosest audio shop.
