that was a post in reply to your comment of im not going to rewire them. said you are just going to wire to 1ohm and be done. (post number 63 for anyone that would like to go back and read it, my internet explore doesn't want to paste or quote for some reason lately)

you said you weren't going to rewire which was a suggestion just to make sure it wasn't a wiring issue. that's you not excepting advice. refusing to except the fact that just maybe something with the wire is wrong and you somehow made that simple mistake.

i then gave you advice that getting upset about the advice your getting will push people away from wanting to help you. again more helpful advice but not just car audio in general everything in life.

if that is being an ass then im sorry your tampon is stuck not allowing you to remove it so you can man up for a minute to admit your jabs were uncalled for and stereotypical.

the advice about the rewiring , he knew wouldnt make a diff, that why he was that way about it, and he said that. then people getting pissed because some one suggested something that he already knew wasn't the problem, so why wouldnt u be pissed if ur trying to tell someone something and they dont wanna listen? the tampon comment is another story lol :P

Like i said, it wont hurt to run it higher, but its your setup you can run it where you like it. But if you want to kill lows below 40, play music with lows below 40. The filter isnt going to help you get more output by setting it lower.

I see what your saying but I did not say that I am going to get more output of my lows I said I dont want to waste power on highs because I do not want to play them on my subs, and whats the point of having a LPF if I set it to 80Hz? It is barely going to do anything.

IMO I like the lows and really don't play songs that hit above 35Hz or so, therefore I set my LPF this way to not get the frequencies I do not want to hear.

You can run your lpf wherever you want OP.

But people saying otherwise just think there is no point because it wont hurt to run it at 65 or 70 or 80. Just cause you run your LPF to say 65 doesnt mean you cant play lows. It just means you can play lows and highs.

Most music i have heard pretty much plays one note at a time when it comes to bass. It's not like the mid range where you have vocals, guitar, drums, and so on.

With bass its pretty much one note, another note, another note.

Thats just my .02.

yes but it will help cut out freq u dont wanna play, by there not wasting power and possibly distorting on freq u dont wanna play, isnt that the same reason u have a subsonic filter?

post number 2 out of the ones you quoted in that last post was my post. me saying i think it looks fine the way you wired it but changing it/double checking would be a good idea. a better safe then sorry attempt at fixing the issue. thanks for once again telling me that i gave you advice and then you disbanded it and made a poor judgment of character comment about americans.

singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Clearly it was not the wiring yet you persist to say by saying that the wiring was wrong was advice, and again I am not obligated to take your advice and even if I did, considering what is known now, it would not have made a difference because the wiring was correct, which is what i said in the OP. So no it was not the wiring so no I was not going to re wire it a different way just to satisfy the people that don't understand series wiring. I also stated in the OP that I had doubled checked the wires multiple times. Again, even after solution was found, it was NOT the wiring.

he made a negative comment because he got annoyed people where making a suggestion. yes it could get annoying and yes i could see myself getting annoyed. wouldn't it be better to simply give an answer such as "i really don't think its the wiring guys thanks but please make other suggestions"? i mean that whould have been the logical response rather then throwing jabs like a 17 year old.

Go up to someone, tell them you wired it right and are looking for a solution to your problem and everyone tells you it is the wiring, you are going to get pissed, also I said multiple times to prove to me that my wiring was wrong I even posted a picture of the wiring to have some say

Your out of phase man

Should be like this for 4 ohm load

Like seriously? Really? I am out of phase???

umm yea, say if ur box done not reproduce 40hz+ very well at all, and ur play a song that half say 40hz and other half 20 hz, why make ur amp push power to ur subs at that 40 hz when its not gonna do anything anyways, rather then make the amp do nothing and save battery power, yea i understand if u got plenty of batteries then u dont have that prob, but not every bass enthousiast has money to throw at equipment, so they make do with what they have, and having that filter would help..
