Quiet Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Before I joined SMD I used a cheap line-out converter to connect my amp and subs to the factory HU, sent clipping signal to my subs. They would smoke at moderate volume. Sold the subs for $60 to some guy off CL, I warned him they weren't in the best condition and practically forced him to hear them first. Next day he sends me an angry email. Fuckhead. After I joined here, I built a box for a 15" RF Punch 1... 3.3 cubes@29hz, so I'd be able to swap out to something in the future like a lvl 4 or HDC, but only had 20 sq in of port. Hell you can see it in my log, see my sig. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was referring to carshateme. How would the subs smoke since the amp should have blown if anything?

I was calling bull, lol I knew something was up... I read your post thinking in my head, "why didn't the amp smoke or blow fuses."

audio1der Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'll play. Tonight while hooking up my 8's in my doors, I stumbled upon my sub hanging half in, half out of its hole in the enclosure. It had pulled all of its screws loose. Huh. I guess THAT's why it sounded ;like shit, and it wasn't blown. I'm troubleshooter #1 LOL. Now about that DD 2512 on it's way because I thought my RF was dead.........crap.

Superjay Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 the worst I ever did was back in 1999...I was tired, and rushing to get a brand new Tahoe done...I used my dremel to get through the harness boot to run the power cable....cut 13 of the wires in the harness. He almost died trying to make it through a light in "limp" mode because it didn't see half the stuff under the hood...only cost me $600 to have it repaired. I only made $300 on the job. I threw my Dremel out after that. I had been working professionally for 9 years at that point. Any skill level can make mistakes, and most mistakes experienced guys make are just carelessness. Any installer who tells you they've never messed up a car is either lying, or is so new as to have next to zero experience.

Nine8SST Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Me...today...finished my recones and THEN checked the impedance......coils read 2 ohms, I need 1 ohm coils. Lesson: Check coils before reconing. Then, I went and got my neighbor's Fluke......and the coils read 1 ohm.
