TeamHT Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 how are the subs and amps even wired? i dont think youre even pulling out the RMS wattage for those amps. first things first...i would get matching subs if youre going to use a 3 sub enclosure common chamber.

TeamHT Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 The first thing I would fix is the obvious. Your power and ground are waaay to small. Your box is waaay to small for 3 12's. After making a better box that is to spec for the subs and getting some bigger wire they will probly perform much better. besides the wiring advice, how would you know what is too small or too big for the subs? let alone...why even suggest a better box for mismatched subs sharing a common chamber? i mean...how can you build a box to spec when it has to meet different specs? the OBVIOUS would not be the ground or power wires. in my opinion...ok for the small amount of current hes most likey pulling. i would say OBVIOUS are the subs, then two amps power different said subs in the same enclosure.

I agree that the non matching subs are a bad idea, however the non matching subs are not gonna melt and catch his Bronco on fire like the wire will because it is too small. By build a box to spec I meant to leave the odd 12 out. I thought that would be obvious. Look at the shot of his build that shows the power wire on the left hand side of the engine bay. The wire is not even into the fuse block all the way. It has serious fire hazard written all over it. I believe in giving advice on sounding good when I can, but giving advice on keeping someones car from burning down should come first.

Leaving a gap just chillin there on the battery? Quote 2006 Nissan Z Track. My Feedback Thread i used to think a band pass was something you were around your neck or something.

Jbabycsx Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Did you even notice the blue wire is cracked too? Leaving a gap just chillin there on the battery? I did after you pointed it out. By the way, I'm not knocking your set up, just hate to see anything bad happen to your ride. Things like that are rare but why take a chance when it is so easy to fix little things like that.
