Blizzyjr Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 I just got a sundown x-15 and it isn't nearly as loud as I anticipated. I have the big 3 done and a proper xs battery running just over 2000 rms @ 1 ohm the box is built to sundowns specs and tuned to 32, will the volume increase once the sub starts to loosen up? Also is it fine to play 20-25 hz on a brand new sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Do not play below tuning or you risk damaging your subwoofer, but its your choice. Not as loud as you expect? It could be 1000 things but Id start with making sure the amplifier is tuned properly, maybe the crossovers not on point or your phase switch is flipped the wrong way. Since it could be 1000 things, pictures of your setup from battery, fuse, amps, everything and maybe one of us can spot something thats off.

slowfkncar Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 It will get louder, ime they are stupid stiff when fresh and usually takes 2-4 weeks before they slowly loosen up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 But not "holy shit" louder...... no night and day diff, .. not at all. Louder, as the suspension loosens, ya,.. but, not earth shattering. He sounds pretty disapointed. Id bet its something else.

Jessica Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 i have found that my sa-12's have never seen above 60hz in any build until the one i have now. they never played above 60hz well. but in the new box the more i play above 60hz the better they sound in that range. keep in mind i have 100's of hours of play time on them already so break in is an afterthought. i have beat the living shit out of them from 20-50hz, clipped and overpowered. now im throwing even more power at them and probably clipping just as much. that being said, i have no idea what i am doing but i think a ton of power and moderate clipping will give you a lot of fun till either a coil melts or soft parts rip.

Though I imagine if it's putting out the right voltage it should be ok.... On break-in, I noticed my sub seemed to hit a bit lower after a few weeks of usage, but as mentioned not a night and day difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
