Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 maybe you were playing them full blast from the start granted i know DCs can be done right from the start, but you have to back off every now and then? maybe the gains aint setup right, or the subsonic isnt right.. more then likely its your amp settings thats blowing them, but i would check the wiring on the subs to see if they match up like the above pic says Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duece22 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 and the wiring looks like this correct? Yeah, ill get pix in a few. are they ran down to .5 ohms? Negative How much port area? It looks tiny. Im not exactly sure, the shop down here said that that was the best they could do. >.> where at do you live in louisville i could give it a peek im a youngin only 17 but believe it or not a no good amount plus a demos always appreciated and are they dual 1s or dual 2s wired to 1 ohm I actually live in Shelbyville, KY. I just took the car up to Roberts in Louisville. The subs are D1.

With my bass remote from my 3000d i always had it turned down pretty low when i was out riding around. I only turned the bass up when people would want to hear my stuff. I let the subs break in pretty good i thought. Quote 2008 Hummer H3 x2 Sundown Audio Nightshade V2 12s x1 Sundown Audio 3000D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 maybe switch out to the XLs and see if you have the same problem? try a different box befor you do that tho Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

EricR Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 yah for one you don't have near enough port area. how big are the boxes for each 15? (i can see its 2 different boxes. Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Boon Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 You're either clipping the balls off it or your amp has DC offset issues. Either way, a scope is the best way to check. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get some measurements for u. Im going to go do that now. Would my box be causing any problems with the subs tho? Like i said a shop down here installed everything for me.
