I'm having an issue where my amp and sub are heating up badly in a short amount of time. I've done some investigating and I've come to the conclusion that it is partially or fully due to the fact that my voltage is constantly dropping below 12(tested at neg/pos terminals on the amp) while at...

If you're talking about my preouts they are 4 volts. Also, its not. 400 watt sub its 800 watts rms 1600 peak.

I got it at a local car audio shop called soundstage. I suppose I could talk to them about the specs of the box I purchased from them.

I had my ear to the sub while my friend controlled the volume while doing the actual tuning. I realize it's not the best way to to about it but I didn't hear it bottoming out or clipping. I will definitely take some pics. I'm sure the coil came unraveled to say the least. The two songs I was...

Look a lot of you are saying user error so let me try to explain my whole setup top to bottom, as I truly don't believe that it's something I'm doing wrong. I'm no pro in car audio but I had systems now for 6 years and I feel like I have a decent enough understanding now. Anyway here goes...

Correct me if I'm wrong but my high pass filter shouldnt have anything to do with my sub. The HPF is set to 125 hz but that only effects my speakers. My head unit has a specific preout for sub amp and speaker amps.

The box for the sub says they can handle 800 watts rms, 1600 peak. My gain was turned down to only a quarter of the way up, bass boost on zero and frequency at 80 hz. Also I agree that having a switch to change the ohms is f****** stupid.. edit: The amp has a ss filter set to 35 hz

Michael the amp Im running is a Kicker Cx1200.1. Its a 1200 watt rms amp at 2 ohms, using 4 gauge power wire. The box is a ported 2.25 cubic inch box pre-fabbed. Im also running a 3 farad cap. As far as the price Im looking to spend no more than $300 on the sub. Ive seen plenty either as much...

In a 48 hour period I've gone through two 12" Comp R's . Both rated at 800 watts rms. The Amp I'm running is a 1200 watt rms at 2 ohms. I've always owned Kicker since I've been into car audio and at this point I've come to the realization from my experiences and also my friends' that they are...
