subs getting hot. tuned with the dd-1.


Recommended Posts

look we are talking about the pre-outs on the head unit. Not the speaker level outs. No one who buys the prs that i know of, buys it to use the speaker outs. Why they even put an amp inside is beyond me. And the prs80 does 62/62 at like .015%thd.

just stfu and get out.

OP, did you adjust the EQ after you set gains? did you turn on bass boost or loudness after you set gains? anything like that? Are you wired down to .25 ohms? I see you are running two d1 subs so i have to ask.

im running them at 1ohm. It could be the lpf thing but as all amps it only gives you two numbers so its hard to adjust. and the subs get pretty warm not super hot. but to an extent where you can smell a little bit. on 80prs the loudness I have off. and the eq is mostly flat I only do like +1 or 2 on certain ones. I don't use bass boost at all.

I would use the lpf on the head unit. You might check it as it could be lower than your amps lpf causing a loss in output.

Well first let me say I really liked the idea strange duck had for tuning the bass with -10db on the dd1 with the sub level maxed, and then using the -5db tone and turn down your sub level until its clean to compensate for different music. I tune just with -5db but that's just me and I mostly stick with decaf so...

Second... Yes the 80prs is less then 1% thd at 62/62. Its a bad ass headunit.

OP. just make sure all bass boost, loudness, and other EQ things are turned off. Those are all bad. As far as boosting things +1 on your EQ.. That can work, but generally people will tell you to cut frequencies around it rather then boosting the lower ones. So instead of raising 1k... To lower 80hz and lower 1.5khz... That kinda idea.

Other then that it seems like your doing everything right. Another contributor would be voltage. If your voltage dips below where you tuned it with your dd1 then that could introduce clipping too. I tune with my car off so I'm safe till about 12.5volts.
