Loudcivic Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 and by lookin at your sig the box you have them un is more than wut is recommended for the subs. a little bit smaller box would help. also p4killer the subs are rated at 1000 rms a piece so hes not even seeing rated on the subs he was just clipping the shit out of them 2015 silverado crew cab nothing atm but soon...

rasic Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 ok, yea smoke is never a good thing and means something is burning, and its not like its a reversable process. its just wierd it still plays. he prolly stopped it just before they completely let go. But def dont play it, slinky-ing the coil could scratch up things inside or just completely sieze it up. Just kinda wierd that it still play for now note to self when sending double the rms to a woofer, be careful. usually its cool for a burp or maybe a demo, but daily double the rms is askin for fail i was doing 400-500 rms over, should i upgrade the vc, aluminum? system: changes way to much...

rasic Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 uhh less power im pretty sure it was due to the clipping, the icon can handle good power from my experince, i just havent tuned my shit since i dont know someone that has a oscope, and this car isnt elligable for a hu so im using factory, so once i get the new car (soon) ill be making sure everything is okay, hopefully... system: changes way to much...

Low preout voltage and i assume your just cranked the gain up until it got as loud as you wanted. Doesn't work that way.... I would recone it and get a smaller box, or be conservative on the gain/power. 00' Nissan Xterra Always under construction :] HU: Pioneer DEH3100-UB Mids & Highs: Kicker DS Component Set & Crescendo tweeters Mids & Highs Amp: Rockford 150.2 Subwoofer: 2 DC Audio LV 4 18"s Subwoofer Amp: Hifonics Brutus 2005d you been hanging out with jeff and dustin with that green paint? its yellow so it has to be loud.

michigancapri92 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 How can a hot magnet be shot? I think your ears are just playing games, you need to set your gains with a DMM so this doesn't happen, if you're seeing smoke then you're clipping like crazy. how do you set your gains with a dmm ?? starting to learn all this stuff and still have more to learn.

Loudcivic Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 you will never see 2000rms from that amp just cause of voltage drop, imp rise, etc.. just cuz you get an amp that is 2000 watts doesnt mean it will do 2000 watts 2015 silverado crew cab nothing atm but soon...
