Hey guys, I made a diagram of how I wired my amp to box. Is this correct? It was how I had my old sub.. but this case may be different since the amp is "class d"..? Anyway, it would be greatly appreciated if someone told me whether I got this wiring right or not. Thanks.

I'm getting really pissed.. the amp powers on fine. I just checked the headunit and all RCA jacks are connected solidly. Anyone else know what may be the problem? My old subs may not have even died after all.. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure it wouldn't have to do with how I did all the wiring with the subs? Does how I set up all the sub wiring sound right? Maybe I'll try and jam my headunit out and check. Dan

I'll try and detail my situation here and hopefully someone can pinpoint my error. This is the first time I've ever tried to mess with car audio. Please note my car is already pre-wired, I've had a system for abotu a year, but my old subs stopped working. I had a rockford dual 12" setup until...

I'm putting in my two Alpine SWR-1242D's in a Sub Zone box, and I'm wondering if I need to put on these rubber rings that came with each subwoofer, and if so, how? I tried putting them on the box and between the wood/sub, but something just doesn't seem right, and before I screw them in, I want...

Are there any good tutorials online for building a box? I guess it would make me feel accomplished if I did build one.. is there any cutting of wood involved? Another thing.. If I do buy a pre-fab box somewhere, do they come with the screws to screw the subs in? My Type R's didn't come with...

I have two 12" Alpine Type R's which I just bought on Etronics.com last week, and plan to put them in a box with my Hifonics amp. I wasn't sure whether to go ported or sealed, but the salesman at a high end audio shop told me Type R's sound better in a sealed enclosure, so my mind is pretty...
