Maroon97SL Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) My subs distort ( sound muddy ) at higher volumes, is this caused by my box or gain? Subs are eclipse 87121.8 12's they are 300w RMS @ 8 ohms, amp is a RF R500-1, i have them in a R/T dual 12" vented pre fab box. I want to build a box for them but have no idea what kind and how big of an enclosure to build.

Budget Build, I spent about 330$ for the setup. but its a crx, if you cant fart and do a 150 in a crx there is something wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqsux Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't know what Muddy sounds like but I'm willing to bet it your gain, how far up is it? Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it turned down quite a bit, at most right now 1/2 way up.

Maroon97SL Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 what volume do you turn it up to? The Deck is a Alpine CDE-100 i turn it up to about 30 ( idk what the highest volume is ), also some more info, the bass boost on the amp is turned all the way up, bass on my cd player is all the way down.

tehbert0 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 oh no no no. bass boost down sir Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon97SL Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 oh no no no. bass boost down sir Ok so set gains at like 1/4 and bass boost maybe 1/2? The stock speakers can't handle much bass off the deck ( they sound like crap ).

Maroon97SL Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 dont you EVER touch the bass boost ever again.... we are watching you lol this is why i joined the SMD forum, I've learned a lot and have put most if not all of it to use. I have done maybe 4 builds, all with basic equip and as I go along i learn more and buy better equip, all i gotta say is the first pair of subs i had wouldn't even touch these 12's.
