kike08 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 ok so we hooked my friends BTL to a saz-3000 today and as we where playing different songs we heard it popping. is that because its too many watts for the sub?or is it just how its tuned. allso its at 1ohm what do you people recomend to leave it at 1ohm or up to 2ohms???

treossi Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 your gain is up to 3/4... im pretty sure that's too high... it's fine at 1 ohm... but you need to set that gain with a n oscope... is that dust cap getting hot or what? what's the other amp settings at ?

Marlo Stanfield Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 First of all your gain is set too high and if you can't get your hands on an o-scope, then at least set the gains with a DMM properly. What that popping sound might be is tinsel slap depending on what BTLs you guys each have. They were pretty notorious awhile back for it but Scott has since fixed the issue.

kandiman71874 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Box size and port area has never been asked about yet as well. That kinda power in a huge ass box could be causing the sub to go beyond its mechanical limits and yer smacking the back plate with the coil former possibly. full details, we need em all to be able to help guide you properly....
