loudNlow87 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 1) Gain is volume - more is always better. 2) Nominal impedance loads - EVERYTHING gets wired in parallel. 3) Small wire - Walmart 4 is just as good Knu 0. And probably the biggest mistake. 4) Not spending the cash on good equipment the first time around..

Tarball Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 in a word - everything Beginning with no research. Give, we didn't have the internet when I built my first system. Cheap wire, cheap parts, Didn't know what T/S parameters were. Just built the biggest sealed box I could fit, The subs were probably designed for ported and I didnt even know it. Used cheap equipment - pyramid phase III. Used particleboard and not MDF. No Big 3, no upgraded battery, stock alt (maybe 70amp - not sure what was stock on a 78 Sirocco). No sound deadening, Heck, is there anything else i could have done wrong ? CURRENT SYSTEM: Alternator: Stock alt on mids/highs Isolated DC Power 270 SP - Charging @ 16.8v Batteries: (2) XS D1400s Power Cable: Double Runs of 1/0 KNU Kolossus Fleks Headunit: 80-PRS Sub Amp: DC 5.0k Subwoofers: 2 RE MT 15s /PSI dual .7ohm recones Subwoofer Enclosure: 9.1cubes @ 32hz - brutal. Mids & Highs Amp: CT125.4 Active Components: Mids RE XXX 6.5c Highs - 3 RE XXX tweeters per side(A pillar) Noise Control: Damplifier Pro all over the cab.
