Finding the Unknown's of a custom Sub.

What do you want? T/S parameters or power handling or what?

Power handling... If it stinks on clean power, back it off a bit lol.

Haha, yes i would like to mainly know its true power handling.

I'm running a RF 600.1Bd. Which is about 750RMS at 2 Ohms. and it sounds clean even on full gain. and even after an hour of constant bumping, its only mildly warm.

If you have it at full gain you're doing something wrong.

Please Explain.

The Amp Doesnt have a bass boost knob, its only a gain and FS Adjustment.

Well considering you live in orange vale and those cones look very familiar.

The guy that built that sub lives in citrus heights.

You can pm him on here (if he still gets on anymore) and ask if he remembers the ts specs

His screen name is forevrbumpin

Or something like that.

under construction

I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me.

u hate c-fizzy?

Im not trying to start a shit storm but forevrbumpin is a rip. I sent him my 12" kicker cvx and it was sent out in december of 2011 and i have had communication back and forth with him since day one up until June 2012. The last email he sent to me said that he was not happy with the results of the recone and probably wouldnt charge me for it but i never received any pics of the "finished" reconed sub nor did i get the recone shipped to me so i could recone my other 12" cvx and i also did not get the basket & motor i shipped to him in the mail. It may be a pile of garbage sub but im still pissed i was fucked and paid the shipping and his fee to fix it and not get anything back.

That's somewhat your fault, should have gotten on it and figured shit out if it has been that long. File a claim on paypal or something.

I would like to say, That forevrbumpn is a good friend of mine, off the forums. and i believe he owned this sub at one time. But to my knowledge it was not built by him.

In either case, i tried contacting him, but he has been out of cell range. He does not build subs anymore, and he sold off all of his stock.

Just throwing this out there. It's not probable, but is still a possibility. I have seen some decks with such a low preout voltage that the amp won't distort even at full gain.

Yup, and no matter the pre-out voltage of the deck, he set it wrong to get the claimed power he thinks he's getting.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
