NRG Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Ok so ive almost blown my second pioneer 3004spl 12" hell knows how as im runnin 1000watts rms with the help of alpine. Ive searched high and low for smd subs but cant get a price here in the UK. I want to be able to upgrade to more power and would like a sub i cant blow or dye tryin lol. Would be nice to get a sub i cant blow and then upgrade from there. I'm currently running a 110amp alt with 4awg power wire and two 100ah batteries split charged to my alpine mrd 1005 as you can see if have lots of room :)but will have to get a sub first then build a box then work on powering the sub. It would be great to get some feedback from this forum to help me along my way to ground pounder status with a single sub. I have about £500 gbp but can stretch a lil further if needed for the right new subwoofer (smd). I have always had some kind of bass in my rides for years and now i think its time to build something a lil special. So hopefully with your help my bass will come true. I've read sooooooooooooooo many posts on this forum about peoples builds and have to say it's an inspiration to me, so what what do i do ????????????????????????????????? apart from move to america ?

kirill007 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 If u want to have the SMD u will need to stretch u're budget more then 500GPB. And if u blow the 30004spl on 1000w rms then u are doing something wrong. There is no woofer that can't be blown First make sure you don't blow subs fast , and then upgrade.

dugee81 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 well just letting you know, your dream subwoofer the "SMD" can still blown if youre going to be sending it a clipped signal. which i feel is why you have blown 2 subwoofers so far. just take that into consideration. and from reading around, the SMD will want a feisty 5-7K wrms ran to it for maximum destruction. not quite in the budget of £500 gbp Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Theres no way im running a clipped signal guys as ive oscoped it soooooo many times now with music and tones. head unit only clips on max bass of 10 so i run 7 @ volume 24 ( no clip) amp is set to 4volts input and bass max and no clipping @ any htz 500gbp is just for the subwoofer guys but i can go a lil further if needed can get an Ascendant Audio Mayhem 18 for 480 gbp http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ascendant-audio-mayhem-18.html but was thinking of smd 18 if i can stretch to it and build up to it. But not knowing the price difference kinda hard to know where to go really :/ not only that i know its not what you've got but the way that you use it. I will get a vid of this 12" on my rear view mirror and post it real soon so you can see. I was thinkin that the pioneer 3004spl wasnt all that and thats why it keeps blowin on me, they seem to get hot quickly especially in a ported box.I did have it in a sealed box but soon learnt the lesson of why ported is better lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skittlesRgood Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 sorry to doubt you man but i still think its clipping. did you scope the amp with the sub hooked up? max bass boost usually means serious clipping.

NRG Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) thanks watchthebass will investigate £809 gbp hmmmmmm no didnt scope with sub hooked up ??? should I ??? Edited October 8, 2010 by NRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 i think youre suppose to have the sub hooked up, and the scope picks up the waves it is sending out and reads off if they are clipping or not. never used an o scope before so i dont know Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
