EricM9104 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 and for $250 more, you can get a higher quality refurb Sundown amp that does more than rated power at 10.75v. (I'm a Sundown fanboy if you haven't noticed, lmao).

All Night Long Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Be careful running those subs off of that amp. I have two of the DC level 4 12's with the level 5 coils running at 1 ohm off of a GP 3000D and I keep running into snapped tinsel leads. I am snapping them, not burning them. If you end up having the same problem, let me know ok. I have a way to fix them and I will let you know about it. I think what's happening with mine is that I have the box tuned to 36hz and when I play them at high volume the subs over extend and pull way too hard on the lead. Becuase the lead is snapping off at where it connects at the terminal. Another reason I think that it is the sub over extending is because the cois aren't even hot at all when I have actually snapped a lead. If I was burning them up I would think that the subs coils would at least be a little hot. I hope this doesn't happen with your setup, but if you run into it don't be surprised. Good luck, and I love my amp I'm sure you will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Night Long Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 That'll happen when you don't set the amp's SSF properly. The subsonic is set at 25hz, is that a good place to have it? The amp allows the subsonic to be adjusted to 35, should I set it a little higher than 25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
