gckless Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Got a box in the mail from PapaGeno21 today. Here's what was inside the box: Didn't even have the decency to spell it out And inside that were these: Gonna do these this weekend. Also gonna visit Lowe's and snag some washers for my PR's. Gonna tune it down, and actually set my gains. Also sent out the Levi today. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

gckless Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 So, first thing I did after work was tune this box down. Added 20 washers to each PR. Don't know the weight of each washer, but I know the count, so it's not super important right now. Did the cone resonance test again, and found my tuning to now be at 27Hz. Next thing I did was set the gain on my 5.0k. Used a 50Hz -5dB tone. First I found what I was at, then I adjusted gain until I was at my target voltage of 65V, which is about 4200W RMS. Here's my findings: Before adjusting gain: A/C Voltage: 36V Wattage: ~1300W After adjusting gain: A/C Voltage: 65V Wattage: ~4200W Yep, all those videos above are with these two subs on 1300W, so roughly 650W to each sub. Tuning was at 35Hz. This tuning is much better. I'm not missing notes down below, and I can hear the peak that was around 36-45 flatten out a little. Playing 27Hz at 4200W, my PR's are crying. Just screaming for mercy. These things are moving a LOT. Thinkin about tuning down just so I can have a little leeway in their movement. On the other hand, part of me just says fuck it, if they shred I'll have PSI build them better next time. More to come, haven't played it barely at all. Need to find somewhere to go where I won't piss everyone off lol. But things are moving around on my vehicle much more now. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

Bship Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 will do, It's been 10 years since the last time I was there, and hopefully I will be all done with the focus rebuild.

It's not too bad down here. They finished the loops, with only minimal construction now. There's some pretty decent bars too. And you better bring the best sounding vehicle "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.
