Got_Bass89 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thats wierd gets stinky... In your vid doesn't even seem like its flexin that much... Does it flex pretty good and the vid just doesn't pick it up or is the vid pretty accurate? Also my opinion on the volt meter is hook it up to the straight to the battery.. And if you using a back battery(which i dont see in your sig but..) wire your volt meter to the back battery so you always know what voltage your amp is recieving..

David Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 any time you give a woofer more than rated power, you run the chance of running into problems. the box is right inline for rms of the woofer per Rusty. 5 mins at full tilt or near full tilt, with more than rms, you can and will get a lil smelly, just ease off the volume a lil bit and you will be fine, no system can run full tilt or near full tilt continously. 1/3, 1/2, 7/8 gain level doesnt matter as long as it was set to your rca's output.

~digital~bass~ Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Thats pretty fast 5min. Usually even if its slightly over its rms it can play longer than 5min without getting hot/stink.

David Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thats pretty fast 5min. Usually even if its slightly over its rms it can play longer than 5min without getting hot/stink. the sub is only rated at 1kw and he is giving it 1500 in a box designed for lows and 1kw, doesnt sirprise me at all that it gets stinky.

~digital~bass~ Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Wow those lvl 4's are only rated 1k? So the lvl 5's are 2k im guessing? I was thinking higher but guess not. The amp is doing 1.5k according to his birthsheet or his own test he shows hes getting 1.5k at the sub. Car Audio + Bodyboarding/Longboarding = LIFE!!!
