DubNBass Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I had this same thing happen a month ago with some memphis pr15s all the shops are all sales final round here and I asked them about dd1 and oscopes and noone knows what I'm talking about bro, those type of shops are the ones you wanna stay away from, dude know nothing about sound audio, most time do hack jobs on installs.

Noel989 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The shop I use to go to tune by ear with a hip hop radio staion I never had problem and they were clip to the fullest stock hu to hilow convertor off one the speakers gains who nowswere I would pit the eq all the way up on the bass on a prefab And after 3 years it still kept playing and I had what this forums considers cheap cheap cheap as in no good Makes me wonder why these top quality brands can't take a bit of clipping 1 Quote Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEvil Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 If your subs quit when you were messing with your headunit then that is part of the problem. On the headunit the output voltage signal to the amps (through the RCA's) is usually controlled by the subwoofer level. The level can be adjusted from +6 to -24. You will likely want to have this set between 0 and +3, just off the top of my head. I'd be careful if it suddenly starts working though because of how "professional" the install seems to be.. You probably either have that set incorrectly or have enabled a low pass filter or low frequency cutoff on the subwoofer output, unless the subs really are dead..

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. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

STEvil Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) quite possibly dead unfortunately then what has more volts than the hu?

STEvil Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 more volts doesnt help things, you can fry the input side of the amp or cause it to oscillate.

Noel989 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 The volts coming out of the hu or eq has to match or not exceed the gain Most amps go from 0.2-6 So if you got 9 volts you need to decrease it by lowering the gains on the eq or lowering the volume on the hu Quote Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
