frustratedbasshead Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 I have a power 1500.1bd amp powering 2-dual 4ohm RF p3-12's ran in parallel to 4 ohms to amp. I can't get the settings on the amp right and it shuts into protext on certain songs sry for such a newb questions I have just changed my 15CVX FOR THESE 2 subs and now I just need a little help hope I don't bother anyone to much hahaha but I know little about tuning all I kmow is that I'm loving BASS.
SnowDrifter Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 1. Verify ohm load with a multi meter 2. What electrical do you have? 3. Measure your voltage at the amp when it protects ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
frustratedbasshead Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 By electrical do you mean wiring ?
Krakin Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 He means as in if you are running a stock battery, what gauge and how many runs of wire for the (+) and (-) to the amp, what gauge you are running from the amp to the speaker, and how did you ground the negative wire of the amplifier. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
SnowDrifter Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 I mean everything power supply related to the amp Wiring Batteries Alternator Brief description of how things are wired Soldered vs. crimped connections Whether you've done your big 3 yet ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
frustratedbasshead Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 Ok stock battery ground with 0 ga. 0 ga. Ran to fuse then from there everything else is 4 ga. Including to and from amp and amp is grounded to where the seat bolts to vehicle. 2005 yukon gmc under rear seat are all amps and cap.
frustratedbasshead Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 No big 3 I have noticed with this new amp and subs my lights dim when bass hits though
Krakin Posted April 6, 2014 Report Posted April 6, 2014 That ground may be a problem, at least it wasn't a satisfactory spot in my vehicle to ground at.

frustratedbasshead Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 Alternator stock eveeythings crimped together
frustratedbasshead Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Posted April 6, 2014 Mind you my previous setup worked perfect no issues
