Guest Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 are you using the same grounds same power and same rca's as the powerbass did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Check the grounds, turn the bass boost ALL the way down. The gain isn't a volume knob don't forget.

FaTbOy911 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yup amp has 1/2 gain and eq a little under half. Yes it has everything the same as when we put the powerbass. Woofers are down to 1ohm but yea i wanted to clamp them to see the imp rise subs are the pionner champ series 1200 rms each there 2 12's Quote Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

FaTbOy911 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Its a pionner4250 here in guatemala but there i think its a 4200 double din i forgot the max volume Quote Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

Emoxihax Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 well go get the max volume of it then come back here, my diagnosis is your gain is far too high for your HU level right now so you're just clipping them to death Quote 2004 Volkswagen GLI 1 10" Skar VVX ^^^ Looking for an amp to run it, Pm me if you have one ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaTbOy911 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yea thats what i said also but no even at just amps 1/2 gain and no gain on eq still cuts of but at lile 14 of volume maybe it is the grounds im going to see if i find a better ground Quote Had an estimate of 6400 for an alpine/clarion setup dealer said it "should" hit around 160db with the custom boxes he was going to make for me..doubtful with so much area to move but, budget is way below that any ideas on cheaper brands for that kind of Spl setup? really didnt want to try any Boss or soundstorm, thinking Quantum figure around $150 per speaker "$1800 total" and $1700 to power it, first actual big setup for the van.

Team808 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Nope and the funny thing is we put a powerbass 1500rms and that one dosent cut of,we sent it back in to the shop and they said that it gave them no problem Question for ya .When you sent it back to the shop did they use the same head unit as you did ? probably not right .The reason i ask is i had the same problem with a pioneer deck and a memphis amp .If i switched out the head unit to a different brand like kenwood,or alpine ,the amp would work fine .Or if i used the pioneer head with a different amp like you did, everything worked fine .But the 2 together would give me problems .I talked to memphis and they said they never heard of this .So i took another pioneer deck,same model, and another memphis amp same model and installed it in a different car ,and had the same problem .About 5 months later i talked to a memphis rep and he said he had heard of this but didnt know why.
