If you had to you could even add another layer to the floor of it to take up some space. Just cut some mdf into squares that fit through your sub holes and glue them to the floor then bondo over the seams.

[goodvibez]

Yeah I was thinking about that actually. First I'll be add in some 45's to give it some better flow then go from there. But if that's not enough Ill raise the floor of the front section.

[scooter99]

Damn, that's a great idea for the floor and adding mdf. Wish I'd have thought of that!

How's the sub issue going?

[goodvibez]

Talked to rusty he seemed cool had me fill out a form for warranty then his customer service called and said since I purchased it through shca I have to go through them and so I've been back and forth with Jon about it and he is talking with rusty about it. And I'm not sure what's is going to happen I may be paying shipping but maybe only half they offered to get me recones but I'm like yeah I haven't done any before and would rather pay to have someone who knows what they are doing do it for me....

Also looks like its two subs have coil issues once I swapped the front one that I knew had it with the rear inverted one I could notice the second from the front sub also does it its just how it goes though...

Wish I would have the system playing before I got there so I could have taken care of this problem and made it allot easier on everyone

I need more money so I can start fine tuning this box lol...with the subs out I may be pulling out the whole box to do my tweeks to it but I dunnno?

I didn't know anything had went wrong

[Swordlordboy1234]

First thing I'd do is tune with -5db on bass. Especially how you play. Especially with dubstep. Most dubstep isn't recorded as quiet as mainstream music so setting your gains that high prob burned the coils.

That's my .02

But I'm also a voltage and clipping nazi according to my friends. I can smell voltage drop and hear clipping from a block away

[Kyblack76]

Huh?

[goodvibez]

Coils arent smelly...they have a nasty rub on high bass notes...for as much as they move I haven't ever heard any bottoming out. They noise from subs has been there from day one...sound great on the lows! But high bass notes have some definite buzz clacking with.subs only moving 1/2" to an inch. Was told to wail on them playing some low lows lol and the issue should take care of its self, been pounding them as much as I feel safe but issue hasn't changed.

Just to clarify I'm not complaining both DC and sh a have helped me quite a bit and I greatly appreciate what they have done!

It's disappointing to see that much variance in the voltage meters. They're obviously working, just not all calibrated correctly. I don't even know if they are adjustable, if you can recalibrate them so they all match?.

The 12.9 of your amm-1 and your multimeter were most probably the actual voltage.

I googled calibrating voltage meters, and without building a small circuit or sending your meter off to N.I.S.T. there is no super easy way to accurately calibrate a voltage meter.

Your best bet is to use a high dollar (fluke) meter and calibrate to that.

[goodvibez]

Yeah I wish I could calibrate them as well like you can on the om-1's....I mean when the voltage drops they all drop equally ...but if they aren't starting at correct voltage then...you get my point....

But I have separated the positive wire on the dash vm-1 so its not tied with other gauges and ran it directly to the rear batteries and same result...I'll run the negative as well just so there is no question if that don't work then I dunno?

Every build has issues, I'm just working mine out...kinda glad I have issues gives me something to do...once its working and stuff won't be long till I'm bored and have to go bigger lol!

I mean who really needs a rear seat am I right!
