Angel Galvan Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 The thing is that my amp clips at the same volume even if my truck is on. Could it be bad rcas ? Bad ground ? Bad sub wire ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause it would make the reducers get angled and I think only the edges were touching now I got it to were it sits flatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds to me like you need more electrical. I know it's just more money, but that's the way it is in car audio. And I'll guarantee you this, it still won't be enough. You'll want to go louder. So you'll need bigger/ more subs. Stronger amps, more electrical...... it only stops when you say fine, I'm done..... that doesn't mean you're happy with the system though, that only means your content 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.

Dafaseles Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Right now in my truck I've got 4 12's on 4 1000 watt amps.... it's not enough.... I'm upgrading to 4 12's on 2 (what should be considered) 5000 watt amps... I'm going to wager that won't be enough either lol 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!

I'm going to wager that won't be enough either lol I have a extended cab and I want to face the subwoofer up and port up, do you have any experience in which way to point the sub and port ? Ima make a proper box for the sub first. Theres a seat that can be lifted individually behind the driver side. Im planning on removing that seat to place a box there, i measure about how by i want the box to be in the picture. Sub is a Skar vxf 12 calls for 2cubes port area 29 in2 at recommended 33hz. I want to make a normal rectangular ox but standing up were the seat is at in the picture. My current box is under my seat i think its about 1.5 cubes it has weird angles and its hard to calculate the area. 6 inch pipe about 32 inches long i think.
