mario7538 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 So i have a couple of friends i bowl with, and i heard one of them has a bangin ass system so of course i would like to hear it. He has an Echo, with a 12 inch kicker L5 in the kicker box that they come with. He turns up his stereo and im not going to lie its loud for the 1 12 in the trunk. but i could tell that he was trying to show off and i was afraid he was going to blow his sub because it sounded like it was starting to distort. so i asked him how he tuned his amp and he said he put the db control on the amp to +18 and he just turned the gain up until he thought it sounded right. I proceeded to try and tell him he was going about it the wrong way but he swore up and down that he knew what he was doing and that you cant blow a sub as long as you have the right ohm load put to it........no matter how loud you turn it up it wont blow he said. I even gave the kid this website and god only knows if he checked it out to see the tutorials and everything on here but i just want to get it through to this kid before he fails his entire system and ends up having to spend a lot of money so he can break another set of subs. I myself have 2 rf t1 12's on a hifonics brutus and i showed him mine and he was suprised that mine wasnt louder than his and i tried telling him that i didnt have my amp turned up because i dont have my electrical system up to par yet, and he still said because i had 2 12's it should automatically be louder. I dont know what to do to help this kid lol. anyone have suggestions?

abervintageman42 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 prove it to him, tune his amp the way you tune it, if he doesnt like it, tune it the way he would simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQMonte Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I've learned the hard way that when somebody thinks they have it all figured out, they're usually beyond help.

skittlesRgood Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 you need to be able to blast them with your system for them to listen to you.

mario7538 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 i also forgot to add that i asked if he ever heard of dc subs ( i plan on getting one if the far future) and he said no never heard of them so they are probably trash. i just laughed and told him the site and to check out whats going on. im pretty sure he didnt but whatever he said " kicker is the best" so yea Quote 04 hyundai sonata jvc head unit alpine type s components 6.5's 4 kicker tweeters 2 in the front 2 in the back MARIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
