Winn Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yesterday my speakers worked perfectly... Today i turned on my car listened to my music. immediately i noticed HORRIBLE DISTORTION coming out of my front Left speaker. So i take it out and make sure its connected properly, yes.. Still does it.. So i replaced it with a BRAND new speaker. Still does the same exact thing. Checked coils on both speakers. Read 4 ohms like they are suppose too. Took headunit out ALL connections are good. All speaker wire is good. Im stumped i really need some help You know how you avoid that?

Ray Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Do you have amp running them? If so flip flop the rcas at the amp. Meaning left-right and right -left. Noise move sides? If yes then prob bad rca If no Then swap the speaker wire outputs at the amp. Left to right Right to left If it changes sides = bad amp channel If it stays on that side.... Disconnect your speaker and hook a speaker right to the amp output. With a short piece of wire.

tonedeaf Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Ray, heres a question for you for an 18v system. My highs amps run on 12v, but the sub amps im looking at getting are 18v stable, so im wanting to go 18v. Running a couple step-downs to the car isnt an issue, my problem is powering the 12v highs amps, as stepdowns are not cheap at all and having to run 10 of those for highs amps isnt an option. I want to stick with XS but I had an idea: in my D1600 bank of batteries, would running a couple Kinetik 16v batteries be alright, seeing as I can run the car or atleast the highs amps off those 12v posts without the need of stepdowns, while still running both my alts on the 18v bank. Ive seen people mix 12v batteries countless times with no issues, what would be the issues, if any, with this setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Cut the left front speaker output right at the deck. Its the white pair. And hook your speaker right to it. Need to make sure its not your wire run. As for the 18v. Yes just buy a kinetik and run the 12v part to your highs amp. Easy fix. Xs/kinetik/shuriken/. Its all the same shit. Imo You dont think they actually make their own batts do you?

BJD3 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 From the enclosure design thread. Figured this would be a better place. I wouldnt really suggest much without plotting and making sure it was the best idea. There are some setups i know off the top of my head, but not many. You could always post the question and maybe get lucky. Dont get butthurt if your not lucky Yup. I think I'm screwed. lol Its a T3 T400-12. D4. The catch is, it isn't going into a car. Its for out-of-doors. T3 recommends going 50% bigger for open room performance, but since A) This isn't going into a room, and 2) IDK how to tune it, I don't know where I should go with this. IDK whether I should do a larger than spec enclosure since it is out in the open since it would have nothing to load off of, and I don't know if I should tune higher for more "regular content" output, or lower for the safety of never dropping below tuning. Even if you can't give me specifics, I'm cool. I'd just like to have some general idea of where I should go with this. Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.
