Update: I was able to lengthen the port 19" which put it at 1.8 cf and roughly 33 hz. This fixed the unloading issue. It's also improved the peakiness and muddiness quite a bit. It's not perfect but good enough to live with until I have time to build one to spec. For anyone who cares but didn't...

It is a v2. I'm not going going to be pushing it at all. Just looking for good sound

I redid my calculations with the correct port volume and it's 3.18 gross and 2.4 net tuned to 35. 28.25x14 on the baffle side 18 deep 3/4 mdf and the port runs front to back then folds back the other way. Port is around 27. I messed around from there and lengthening could get me to 1.8cf and...

Thanks for the reply. This is what I plan to do eventually but I don't have an indoor work area and it's been raining every day that I have spare time. I messed up my original calculation and it's actually 3x12.5 so 37.5 port area. I searched the forum before posting and saw the well reputed...

Bump

So I put a new 12w6 in a box I had sitting around. It's 2 cubes with 37.5" port area tuned to around 38. It actually sounds great but unloads on what seems to be lower frequencies. I know the right answer is to build a new one but I'd like to make this one work if possible. It's very well built...

I ended up buying one and honestly couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now to spend some money on electrical

It's currently installed in another car but the input has 4 rca's that you cut off for speaker level signal. I forget if there's a high/low switch or if it's automatic. I'll need the loc because the key doesn't have outputs, just speaker wires.

I found this topic trying to research the same amp before I pull the trigger. One of the selling points for it over taramps was the bass knob and sundown customer service told me it's not guaranteed to be included. Every comment or video I've seen about yardsale has been positive but I'm still...

I have a 2011 santa fe with the base stereo. Does anyone know if I'd have to worry about roll off? Also I'll be using my 4 channel kicker key and was curious about the best place to wire the loc for the sub. My plan is to use radio and car side harnesses to avoid cutting anything. I could run...

Thanks for the replies I took everything apart and re tightening it after the first few suggestions and hadn't had any problems until yesterday. Again popping the hood fixed it but the battery looked like it may be leaking. I'll have them warranty it the next chance I get

Today when I popped the hood with the key on I got power back so it may have nothing to do with touching the battery. And I didn't mean to insinuate the battery was loose. That first post was painfully long so I shortened some of it

I have a 2009 honda fit. Battery is less than 2 years old and I only replaced it because the old one was original. I'm running a kicker key on the front stage and have a few different sub amps I've gone between. All are 800 rms or less. I have the key up front so I used separate power and ground...

I agree with the other advice you've received so far. To make the best of your current situation check out some YouTube videos on setting gains and impedance rise. When the sub is moving that 4 ohms becomes 8 or more so you're probably seeing more like 200 watts. I'd take a multimeter and check...

Here it is mounted. I’ll try to get some more if I get home before it’s dark one of the next few days. I don’t doubt the motor is 153 oz and according to the shipping labels it’s heavier than a 12” ssa demon. I did stretch it out when I ran to the store and probably gave it about 700 watts after...
