Broke_Audio_Addict Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 It's perfectly normal for subs to be warm after you beat on them. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

Tarball Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Everything above plus consider if you were playing below tuning your impedance curve usually dives after the port frequency. Master P had some pretty low notes though I don't recall the bass line on that particular track off-hand. You cant bank on impedance rise.That said, you are probably clipping.

01ExSport Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'd either check with a scope if possible, or use the -5db track. It's been years since I've fooled around with Audacity, but I thought I remembered being able to see the recorded level of songs. I may be wrong on that, though.

AcIdBuRn02ZTS Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 These drivers have been in the truck for several years on a smaller amp. I upsized the amp recently (from 2krms to 3krms @1ohm) and picked up the DD-1 for properly setting everything. The box is tuned at 30hz but I haven't done any testing on it to verify exactly where it is (if that's possible). The box is rather large and has a lot of port area. I'd say the drivers were getting hot... I could smell them and the dust caps were warm to the touch... However even after several years of being beat on at 2k rms, the drivers are still really stiff if that makes a difference. They feel like the day I pulled them out of the box. 03' Black Z71 Tahoe 3" Lift / 315/70/R17 Goodyear Duratracs Eclipse AVN6620 Touchscreen Head Unit Hifonics BRX3016 - 3krms @ 1ohm 2 RE Auido SX 18s - 14.5^3ft net @ 30hz w/ 200^2in. port120hp Cummins 4bta Swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterbasser Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 track 5 in my experience is a little much, wish there was a track between 3 and 5. almost all setup i have done witht rack 5 have gotten some stank fairly quickly, around 1 song length. maybe check it at 3 then 5 then set it between the 2 Kenwood excelon ddx795 3 370 amp CES alternators (audio side only) McLaren dome tweeters Crescendo 6.5 ultra neos NVX JAD800.4 4 PA x4 SPL 18's 4 Digital Designs m5's at .7 ohms each 2 K2 80 ah lithiums 3 group 31 agms Ledglow million color (12 piece) 2007 Yukon xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masterbasser Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 unfortunately the smd dd-1 is not the end all tuning tool, it will get you close. different songs are recorded different volumes and such so that affects the distortion coming out of amp Kenwood excelon ddx795 3 370 amp CES alternators (audio side only) McLaren dome tweeters Crescendo 6.5 ultra neos NVX JAD800.4 4 PA x4 SPL 18's 4 Digital Designs m5's at .7 ohms each 2 K2 80 ah lithiums 3 group 31 agms Ledglow million color (12 piece) 2007 Yukon xl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magillaru Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 If they were fine on 2k and you say the box is big for what you're running, the increase in power that your giving them (if you're even getting that power) could potentially be a problem. Too much airspace with too much power. Singer Alternators Team Asshole #anothershittysingerbuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoove Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Also, playing outside of your tuning range could be an issue. lets say you're tuned at 36 and you trying to play 20. your gonna have issues 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
