How Long Till I Can Blow My Ib3 18


Recommended Posts

So my old amp didnt like 2ohms at all, so it clipped and made the 18 stink once in a while. The 18 didn't like it when my CD went from music to sine sweeps.

After a couple hard bottoms, she's makin a little noise. Sounds like former scraping pole piece/gap and unwinding coil soon.

So I'll be getting a recone kit, but either I will throw the BXI on there 1700 RMS @ 2 ohm, or if I manage to sell it and get the 2500.1... I will have some REAL fun! I am 21 cubes tuned to 33Hz :D

I'll be making vids with the shitty cam and the good one.

i never played any sweeps free air

when i got the sub I used a tone generator, which I have done a milliion times, which did NOTHING to the sub

I made vids doing sine sweeps in a box, which Ive done a million times, and did NOTHING to the sub

I was in a pnich and mixed music with sine sweeps, and while driving along it went from music to sweeps. That did it.

That will do it, especially of your gains are set to -3 or even -6dB for music, then on comes a 0dB sine wave...OUCH!
