kryptonite Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Just finished installing my 1.2k on 4 sundown e8s in my grand prix. Here is my electrical run down: Pioneer DEH-80PRS Stock alt (upgrading soon) 2 XSPOWER D3400s (1 in the stock location and one about 1ft. away from the amp) Big 3 in american bass ofc 1/0 american bass ofc 1/0 power and ground front to back fused to 300a at front and back batteries (power line only) american bass ofc 1/0 power and ground to the amp fused to 150a about 10 inches from the battery (power line only) streetwires 1/0 to 4 ga. reducers heatshrink wrapped to avoid contact between power and ground, drilled for the set screws to hold better in the amp average rcas 12 ga. speaker wire Subs are dual 2 ohm, subs individually wired in series, than all 4 in parallel to a single 1 ohm load DD-1 to tune the cd player and the amp cd player is good to 61 out of 62 amp can be put to full gain without distortion but is about 3/4 Certain songs will cut the amp off completely after 3 seconds or so, which these are songs that were burned onto a cd from my laptop that i had added the entire cd initially from an actual cd in the first place (yes i still have cds haha) Mainly gucci mane and a couple other rap songs Other songs will slam for as long as i want. Almost seems like it's higher frequencies (couldn't tell you what they were, still sub frequencies though) Any thoughts?

kryptonite Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 1 and 2 for the headunit and i believe 7 (louder system) for the amp Quote DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.

SnowDrifter Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm going to be so bold as to say that the tones and their descriptions that come with the DD-1 are Using track 7 gives you guaranteed clipping. If you want a louder system, I made an in-between for track 3 and track 5. It's -7.5 and what I personally use. Works fairly well 90% of time time. I'll send it to you if you want it. So clipping aside: could you verify your voltage drop and ohm load at the amp with a DMM?

kryptonite Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 yeah i can verify it once it's light outside and my neighbors aren't asleep lol. My voltage drops to 13 flat when i'm driving. Its the stock alt from 2002 still as far as i can tell since i'm second owner. I turn it down at lights and if i'm at a standstill in a parking lot or the like, i increase the rpm to about 2000 to 2500 to simulate driving rpm.

SnowDrifter Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Where are you reading your voltage from? If it's not at the amp you need to check it there 1 Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Where are you reading your voltage from? If it's not at the amp you need to check it there I'm interested in that 7.5db track.

kryptonite Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 voltage is being read at the cd player because it is built into the deck. I can check it at the amp as well, not a big deal. With the battery right at the amp i figured i wouldn't have much problems. Yes i understand i need a better alternator but mechman's pricing has gone up since i got my 270 in my ranger so i'm saving up still lol Quote DC SOUND LAB NUT HUGGERCurrently Own 4 - 18" lvl 6s (m3) w/full Carbon Fiber option 2 - DC 5k lvl 4 motor lvl 2 motor On 8/2/2013 at 8:13 PM, n8ball2013 said: this is much worse.
