E-Train Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 yeah, but he doesnt have a ported box, he was gonna get a sealed box for 4 12's off ebay, if i get the same shit he does ill run them in 2 seperate ported boxes temporarily at 1 ohm Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

E-Train Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 And also when im setting the gain on my amp n the RMS guide should i go by the max power rated at X amount of ohms or what Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc.

EricM9104 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 dont be a chicken , put the 4 in a ported box, wire it up to 1ohm and set the gain rite and have fun... its not like he bought them online, if they go up in smoke take them back and get new ones and then run the new ones at 4 ohm lol... x2.

Colin - STAPUFT Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Just watch the subsonics if you do the ported box. Once you go below the tuning frequency the subs have to rely on their own suspension to keep from making with the deadness on mechanical failure.

E-Train Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 how do i measure the subsonic frequency, the dial doesnt have any numbers on it Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc. Alternator(Kickin out 15+ volts!)
Colin - STAPUFT Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Ohh... beats me! Check your manual and see what the subsonic range is and just guestimate it. Set the subsonic filter right at or just below the tuning of the box and go UP from there if you have troubles.

E-Train Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 IDK the frequency of the box, lol but could i set around the Frequency of the subs? Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc. Alternator(Kickin out 15+ volts!)
Torres Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Sweet guide! Makes that crap easy. thanks yea, the DMM is veeeerrryyy important to help NOT blow your subs.remember to keep the bassboost off on the amp and keep the Bass on 0 on the headunit. if the headunit has a 0 to 15 Subwoofer Level feature, put it all the way up, as that will give the full voltage from the headunit to the amp. Thus more power being outputted. dont forget treble to 0, and gain on the amp to 0 also. also...if you buy a box off ebay, you wont be getting the full potential of the subs imo unless the box happens to be built to spec. so he could have a good setup, but bad box and not be happy with the gear he just bought. just somethin to think about Quote
E-Train Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 idk lol, we will figure it out, we will just research and tune and trial and error Quote 1997 4 Runner Alpine CDA-9886 4 Fi Audio X Series 12's 1 Crunch GP3000D Pro DC Power Inc. Alternator(Kickin out 15+ volts!)
