Sub/box wiring -- IM SURE THE COMPANY DID THIS WRONG


Recommended Posts

Looks right to me, what ohm load were you trying to accomplish or think is right/wrong? they are SVC

They run hot-- the gain has been set properly with the DD1 - the max volume is 38 as it is tuned to that. When I run the system on 26-29 I can usually smell the wood from the box. The subs cone feel a little warm as well. Everything talked about is connected via 8 gauge wire. Ive been afraid to go above 30 as I fear they will blow. I had a pair before this of same subs but they blew within 4 months.

check the gain. just because you used a dd1 does not mean its set correctly. it may be a very good starting point but it is not ALWAYS correct. im not trying to knock a tuning tool but it COULD be incorrect.

how does JL specs say they will not run hot?

I thought subs always get warm especially if you are playing close to their rms limits

But the amp is giving 375rms to each and the subs are rated at 500 rms... no where near the limits

how big is the box?

sum bitch may be way too big

Its a custom ported box made to spec for the specific subs.

Distortion kills, clipping kills faster. Even with the dd1 you can get distortion because alot of music comes from the recording studio with distortion to begin with.

According to the diagram, shouldn't the amplifier be bridged ???

Or does it bridge internally ???

Looks like it's two ohms per side and not one ohm bridged mono ... or am I looking at it wrong ???

Two svc 4 ohm in parallel would be 2 ohm wired this way on a 1 channel amp. If you are trying to get the 1 ohm rated power at 2 ohms you will be kicking its butt for sure. No wonder it runs hot.

I was wrong looking at it closer and readimg. Single voice coils ... I'm a dumb ass lol.

Two ohm load if the amplifier was bridged.
