EricR Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 Buy em 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?
Jared420 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Posted July 28, 2010 Im about ready to, Unless someone makes a really good point why this is a bad idea, Im just waiting for either some support or for someone to make me look like a fool and talk me out of it. I am about 98.3% sure my problem is the amp and when i get these new ones my problem goes away and Im back to bumping accept not at a half an ohm putting more stress constantly thhan I should be on my electrical Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts

Robert8252 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 Did you get your alt tested just to be safe? It is $778 so if that's the only thing you haven't tested I would get that done. But I do say buy em and post results and pics because I'm thinks of going with two AQ2200s instead of a 3500 so let me know how they do at 2ohms strapped Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff

Like I said I highly doubt there is a problem with my alt but even if tomorrow I test the alt and it turn out thats my problem it should be fixed or replaced for very cheap or nothing, I bought this alternator from Dom in february So If this thing fails in less than 6 months it should be replaced or fixed. and all that means is a wait a bit longer but then I have much better amps than the clif and I can be at 2 ohms and not .5 Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts
Jared420 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Posted July 28, 2010 I will let you know how they do though when I get them.

Robert8252 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 If your wanting the Aq anyways then definately go for it. Get the cliff fixed correctly and sell it for what you can. Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff
Jared420 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Posted July 28, 2010 I would but Im not paying another 75-80 bucks to have it shipped back there to be fixed again, I know I just dropped 800 on new amps not fully knowing thats my problem but I am pretty damn sure and if thats the case im not happy with dbr at all and I am done with them, if it comes down to it I will put it up for sale for dirt cheap and maybe someone else can have it fixed properly I dont want to waste anymore money on broken shit, hence why I am saying screw it Ill just buy new stuff that I know should work out of the box. If it doesnt my troubleshooting failed and its all on me noone to blame but myself but I tried everything that was suggested and I could think of accept of course the alt which I will absolutly have tested by the time the 2200s arrive.

Robert8252 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Posted July 28, 2010 Did you try just one sub on the amp or wire it high as hell of a impedance 8ohms or however you can wire you subs up. Just see if it is not able to produce power at low imp. Just one more thing to try :-/ take it you don't have another amp or a friends amp to use to try?

Jared420 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Report Posted July 28, 2010 Tried each sub by itself tried each combination of 2 subs at 1 ohm and at 4 ohm.
