    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    OK, I will check that and report back. But this would indicate not enough power is getting to the amp which noone seemed to think was the cause. I just got a new amp (90A) and it seems to be doing a good job of preventing flickering with the lights on. However, I do only have 8 gauge wire...

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    I took the carpet out and screwed it down good (but without a gasket) and no change. Then I did the same but with a phone book (which is still inside) and it did not help either....so I dont know?

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    Good question about the sealing. I think I do have carpet in between and I dont think there is an actual special there (like an )-ring). Maybe some RTV would do the trick? I will check now and see what I can do about it.

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    The gain was set about 60% of max with 0 bass boost. I dropped it down to about 45% and it just really shifted the popping point to about 75% of max head unit power. But the problem is the bass seems kinda weak now. Hmmm? P.S. I have wimpy wire, 8 gage...would that have any affect on this...

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    It is very possible the gain is set too high, but as I remember things were set relatively moderately. I will check that first and report back.

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    Its sealed, and it occurs even at half volume on specific tracks/bass hits. How about a subsonic filter? Also, as far as stuffing it. Instead of polyfill, how about something solid? Its a custom box to fit my car so its not a throw away or anything. Also, I am not sure of the volume (its...

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    The Amp to the sub is a 2x175 bridged and the sub is a 10W6. There are a few ways to crossover the amp, and I tried them out a while back and settled on this one. Could I stuff the box with something?

    OK, fair enough, but how do I fix the problem?

    More Juice ? Alternator Question

    I have a 300ZX and killed the alternator recently. I wasnt aware of how critical this component was but I did slightly upgrade from 80Amps to 90A. I have about a 500W or so system, but I dont know if this is going to cut it? It is definately better, but the lights still dim when hitting the...

    Sub Popping Sound - Weak Wire?

    I have a 2x100 and 1x300 amp with 8 gage wire. I get a popping sound from the bass when it hits hard, almost like it is giving up. The amps are ESX and the sub is a JL10" (forget the model but it was the one able to handle more power since my IDQ's kept crapping out).
