Lbox88 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Wife in college at one point had these 3 roommates. 2 were ok, the third...... Come winter break, idk who it was but we weren't going to be the last to leave, so we told everyone to turn the heat down to 55 before they left. Dumbass 3 roommate: "We can't turn it down that low, the pipes will freeze!!!" UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 One of the worst things for me is if I tell my opinion and its not what they want to hear. Then go other routes with their system ... Which is fine with me. The thing is when their shit doesn't work the way they planned ... Instead of going back on the thread and reviewing what I said, they send me a pm asking me what they can do to fix what was done wrong because they didn't do their homework first and look up the reasoning for my suggestion. So you diss me on the forums and then ask me privately so no one else can see what I can do to help them ??? Really ??? Yea, my pm section is full of shit like this ... So go ahead and run 3 subs off one little bitty ass amplifier ... It might work, but how long will greatly depend if everything with the system is top notch ... Personally, I don't deal in maybe ... / Rant As long as it's wired correctly there is no difference whatsoever.Amps are stupid, they don't know you connected 1-2-3-4-5-a million subwoofers to it. All it sees is the impedance at the speaker terminals, if that is higher then the rated impedance of the amplifier then it will work for as long as the amp would last with a even number of subwoofers. And nobody said it would be a litttle bitty ass amplifier, and even if it was it doesn't matter. You can wire thousand of subs to a 5W amplifier and nothing will happen to the amp if it's wired correctly. I stand corrected.

White Lightning Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have a good friend that is a factory authorised amplifier repair technician. Seems like all he ever does now is repair class d amplifiers because of most people do not either know how to wire amplifiers up correctly, run them on inadequate power, or crank the shit out of the gains. Shit just seems crazy to me. Most audio shops are not in the business of selling product and setting them up exactly the way the customer wants just to have them come back with shit all burnt up complaining that it's automatically the installers fault. Too many liabilities ... They do what I do no a daily basis ... They cover their ass so product doesn't come back and having to work on shit for free when they knew that type of shit wasn't gonna work in the first place. Back when I was doing car audio and home theater, I wouldn't sell or install something that I wouldn't install in my own car or home. I took (well, still do) pride in everything. If someone wants me to sell the product and install product that I do not feel comfortable working with ... I do the same thing most shops do on a daily basis ... Politely refer them to someone else if they are head strong on going that route with the system and a will not listen to reason. Say if I charge you 200 dollars to tow your truck from point A to point B ... And I not do my job correctly and cause 2000 dollars worth of damage ... Not only did I not make any money on this ... But just gave away 1800 dollars to fix the vehicle. Definitely something you do NOT want to happen. Not even once !!! So yea, I can definitely see why shops do not wire up odd number of drivers to single amplifiers ... Although it will work just fine, it would most likely be too much of a liability to see that inexpensive setup turn into a catastrophical comeback if that customer changes things in any way, blows shit up and starts blaming shit on the installer. Just like customers I hear everyday on this forum about shops ... Shops get burned by customers all the time. They HAVE to be the professionals and make sure they make money and keep satisfied customers .... Not ranting ... Just thought I'd post up a few lines.

kirill007 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The damping factor of an amp would determine how many speakers it can drive. Yes? No? No, dampening factor is depending on the impedance/frequency. I have a good friend that is a factory authorised amplifier repair technician. Seems like all he ever does now is repair class d amplifiers because of most people do not either know how to wire amplifiers up correctly, run them on inadequate power, or crank the shit out of the gains.

And there also enough shops that screw the installs up and not care about it and won't warrenty anything. (and not only car audio, but also more expensive things like building houses/kitchens/installing electricity/water,...) And some customers are horrible, changing the gain/crossover/wiring/fuses/.... Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s5300 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Might not be close to ideas some people have... but I just remedied this for a buddies build. "My fuses keep popping man and I don't know why" Simplest setup - two subs in parallel straight to amp amp straight to battery. Nowhere to go wrong. Honestly, because I'm not a genius or anything, I had a hard time imaging what could be wrong. It was straight and simple wiring. Finally, I take a closer look at the amp. (GND) (12v) and the whole time, he was putting his 12v into the ground terminal. Three fuses later trying "other" things I finally convinced him to put shit in the right polarities. Needless to say, it worked. "You mean, that shit actually matters" Yeah.. it does. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
