mmotux Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 So I have TWO JL AUDIO W1V2-4 subwoofer running in a Dodge Ram 1500 Ex cab. With a Koiiler 800w amp running both subwoofers. I personally think these subwoofers aren't as loud as they can get and I'm not sure why. My friend has the SAME subwoofers in s SMALLER enclousure in a single cab Silverado. His HIT. But mine arn't as loud and don't have that feeling of bass around you... Just the lows hit. Both are sealed. My subwoofers are FOR SURE in phase. Wires to subwoofer are good. 2 ohms. GROUND is probably the worst part because I have it grounded to the seat. But I don't think that is my problem in this case. Or maybe it is? Any help would be appriciated!

mmotux Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Also could possibly be a wattage issue with amp? Maybe they aren't getting pushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Streichert Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I would switch your ground to the frame of the truck. Grounds are pretty important. Head Unit: Kenwood excelon KDC-X797 Subs: 2 Fi sp4's with PSI recones dual 1.4's in a wall. Sub amp: 2 DC 3.5k's strapped at .7 Mids: 2 punch pro 10's 6 punch pro 8's Tweeters: 4 Fosgate Neo's (pp4-nt) Mids amp: Fosgate T1000-4ad Tweeter amp: punch 400-2 Wall: 9 cubes tuned to 31.5 triple layer birch al the way around plus 2x4's Alt: mechman 240 Wire: all sky high OFC 2/0, 4, 12 Batteries: 1 XS d3400 under the hood and 5 kinetic 2400's with toolmaker buss bars in the trunk Extras: epic lighting LEDs sound deader for days, fiberglassed pods 150+ sealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammiethebasshead Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 enclosure plays a part. if they don't have enough airspace they wont play properly. And i have never heard of the amp so i am not sure on that. a better ground would be a good idea. what size woofers do you have and what is the airspace in your box once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem. You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not sure on the airspace but my buddy with the Silverado has a smaller box and his is LOUDER than mine! Gain is set high on mine also! I'm not sure! It might just be the ground!

hammiethebasshead Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 get the ground in a good spot and fix that gain just because its up high doesn't mean you are getting more out of the amp find someone close with an o-scope or dd1 and get it set right. or get a 40 hz tone and set by ear it's better than nothing. and then see how it does. once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye.

Jessica Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 do you have the XM-8787 C model amp? Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.
