Yeah you’re probably right, gotta love getting strong armed

I need some opinions. Going to recone one of my hcca 124s and I can only find one seller on eBay selling them. I can’t find them in stock anywhere else online. My problem is they seem to be sending me used kits that look like returns. I just sent one back and got another from them and it’s...

So this weekend I dug into things and my gain was set way to high, when I initially lowered it I did it without a meter and kicked it back up a little didn’t realize I set it even higher than before. But even max power from my amp without distortion I’m still burning shit up. I’m waiting on a...

Ok yeah you’re right, sorry it’s been probably 6 months since I looked at the amp. Here’s a picture so you can get a better idea. So these aren’t what my amp is Actually set to right now. This was an out of the box picture I took so ignore all the current levels where they are but Atleast you...

I listen to mostly rap, Nipsey Hussle/game etc. usually pounding those low notes, I don’t listen to anything bass boosted or slowed. I currently have my subsonic set to about 80, you’re saying I should set that to 40? And I’m assuming I should change the low pass on the deck to 40hz? Or is that...

The subs do get warm, the amp gets pretty hot too, I do use an smd meter to check for distortion so I can make sure it’s tuned safe. My theory is maybe since the amps getting hot maybe by mid drive maybe it’s not putting out clean power at high levels and causing clipping? I ordered a cooling...

I think you are right, the subs usually are quite warm by the end of my drive

That came out wrong, the spider is worn, you can hear the coil scraping the magnet

I have them in an Orion stage 3 ported box at 40 hz. These are the specs

Yeah that’s the weird thing, the first one I smoked the coil, the last 3 were from weak spiders, you can hear them scraping the magnet

Well don’t get me wrong like I said it usually happens in stages, these subs take a beating before they completely blow. So let’s say I’m 25 minutes into my drive and they start to smell I cut the power to them pretty much right away, then as time goes on it’ll be 10 mins into the drive and I’ll...

I got a set of dc XL’s I’m gonna throw in for the time being and see how those hold up

I live on Long Island so the temperature is all over the place, but sunlight no I have 5% tint so they’re not exposed directly

I’m using a smd distortion meter when I tune to be sure the amp is putting out clean power and even using less than the max power they should handle I’m still having problems

Yes the crossover is at 80hz
