ZDudas Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I have OFC 4 AWG power and grounds. Amp is the Rockford Fosgate R1000.1D. Prime series. Don't even know if it is putting out true wattage really. It came with a birthsheet of 1083 watts RMS @ 2 ohms. I don't get any movement or output of the subs unless the gain is at 9 out of 11 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afficionado Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 you can't really expect much sound out of a 0.65 cu ft prefab box.. Didn't even subtract woofer displacement. Probably sitting on 0.50 cu feet. so true..he is going experience such a drastic difference with a custom made box.

I don't get any movement or output of the subs unless the gain is at 9 out of 11 either. If the birthsheet says it is putting out that much I would trust it coming from Rockford. If you aren't sure then you can always test it yourself if you have the tools. The subs not moving could have also resulted in the lack of air space, not sure but might have been it. For you to get it to wire to 2 ohm you need to buy (two) 2 ohm subwoofers and wire it down like this.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

ZDudas Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 That's how I have them wired now. Running at a 2-ohm load. They just sound awful in the enclosure that I have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) That is probably the reason behind almost all of your problems. Get the SD-2 12's or SA-12's. Depending on where you get your subs the SA's aren't that much more and are a level higher up on the line.
