neutman21 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just got my jl audio 10w7 today and for some reason it does not bump like it should...before I put the w7 in, I had tried an earthquake magma 12 and it wasn't hitting like it should either...I figured it wasnt working right because of the 6 ohm impedance on the 500/1 while wired in a series and I didn't test it wired in parallel. So I read the trouble shooting on the 500/1 and it said to test the amps input voltage with a test tone cd to see if it is receiving from 200mv to 5v and it was receiving close to the minimum. I then checked the speaker outputs to see if it was receiving the right amount of voltage and it was....set to 38.7 for the w7... I tried dicking with the eql and increasing the input and output voltages they way audiocontrol said and I adjusted them according to my 500/1. I could tell the increase in the sub sound, but it sounds like crap... and it isn't loud at all... I have no idea what could be wrong with it.. because it should be receiving the right voltage according to the tests I did, but its not putting out the sound a w7 should....could my amp be messed up??? my equipment is shown below...please help out if possible...Thanks.

Ben Building Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What kind of vehicle do you have? Also, tell all about the box you're using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutman21 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I know the w7 is picky about the box and I made one with the dimensions of a jl box tweaked a bit to still have the correct amount of air space.... I sealed it good and put double 3/4 on the front. It could be the box... But my calculations I figures wouldn't be that much off... Quote THE BASS KICKS AND THE HEADS TURN.

kirill007 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Do you mean to much airspace or not enough airspace? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
