Decaf Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) upgraded alternator and properly charged battery(s), 1/0, big III in 1/0 using a dmm to set voltage... very tight connections with lots of surface area of contact i dont see anything in ur sig regarding accessory battery/alt... and if u had a dmm you could test the voltage drop when the bass hits, well... when u have a new sub... that will tell you more whats going on Edited May 31, 2009 by decafcappucino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 you can clip a sub all day long as long as the mechanical/thermal limits arent exceeded...Try a smaller amp or a bigger sub next time. Set your gains correctly and i dont see this problem happening again anytime soon True, but remember that a sub's thermal limit when playing a squared off wave is going to be a lot lower than when it's playing a nicer shaped one due to the DC component of the wave.

Decaf Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) ok well i know what i have to do and buy have you ever used a batcap or just do the alt and battery? batcaps have their place... in a spl lane imo a batcap is a fast recharging/dischargin battery fyi a nice powermaster deep cell and mechman alt would help ALOT/is necessary << Edited June 1, 2009 by decafcappucino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznboi3644 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 yeah saying your gain was 1/4 means nothing...the output depends on the strength of the input signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) have greg recone the 15 to a 12 and buy a second se 12. 2 will be alot closer to the power that amp can output ... a blown sub isnt going to help you any (ill take it for free) so might as well recone it and use it Edited June 1, 2009 by emperorjj1 Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devsmazduh Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 you can clip a sub all day long as long as the mechanical/thermal limits arent exceeded...Try a smaller amp or a bigger sub next time. Set your gains correctly and i dont see this problem happening again anytime soon is this true? because i know you can blow a sub even if its way under powered if its clipped enough. or am i wrong?
