Lost Legacy Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Hey Question: ive got a Fusion NV-15 sub specs say that it has a 2500w max and a RMS handling of 1100w. ive got a sound comp i want to go to to get a db reading and want to re wire, so that the amp is puching out 1600w RMS instead of 800w RMS. will this damage my sub in anyway or will it be algood? thanks for any help you can give me also one other little question. if i have a nice big ported box, will it sound louder/ better than a smaller ported box. cheers Honda Accord SirT + Mad sounds = Awesomeness VTEC go BRAAAAAPPPP http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141261-99-accord-sirt-sq-build/ Alright well i never done the big 3 so i see in my vision my truck on fire...

Cashdollar2009 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 You've got a ways to go before that competition bud, trust me. What model amplifier? Specs? Subwoofer voice coil readings? More specs. There is a lot more to it than making a wooden box, putting a speaker in it, and turning up the gain my man. On 6/30/2011 at 1:11 AM, 'Ray' said: Acoustical energy is free.

corey0928 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 what amp do you have? And a box should be built according to specs of the sub.

Winn Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 uh depends on how good your sub is? it could wear the voice coils out i wouldnt recommend it with that jumps of RMS. But you go ahead.. lol You know how you avoid that? Man the fuck up and bang her best friend sister mom cousin worst enemy and never look back. JUST SAY ANTI-AUDIOPIPE
Lost Legacy Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Posted October 30, 2010 haha thanks guys. from what you say running it at the higher RMS is a bad idea which i sort of guessed. so ill probably build a decent box to the specs that Fusion recommend for optimum performance and see how that goes then. and in reply to Cashdollar2009 i figured i had a long way to go before i could properly compete, but i didnt realise there was actually so many thing that you have to consider. thanks for the heads up and also at the moment my gain is set to +6dB. what do most people who are properly into subs. etc, set their gain at? ... also, my amp is Fusion NV-AM 2500.1 (came at a great price with the sub so got it) Honda Accord SirT + Mad sounds = Awesomeness VTEC go BRAAAAAPPPP http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141261-99-accord-sirt-sq-build/ Alright well i never done the big 3 so i see in my vision my truck on fire...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted October 30, 2010 Report Posted October 30, 2010 you never, ever in car audio go by max.... you go by RMS.. and even then its a touchy subject because 95% of amplifier companys out there lie about how much power their amps produce. going over rms = smaller box, under rms = bigger box... just remember that when you decide to build your new box The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones
