It’s a DVC 4 ohm subwoofer, wired as the photo I posted shows a final impedance of 2ohms on each coil, then test with a MM to the speaker terminals on the box also shows 2 ohms. I only have 1 subwoofer.

Wired down to 2 ohms. Both coils show two ohms on MM and 2 ohms on box terminals, jumper from pos to pos and neg to neg then positive on one coil negative on other. As this diagram shows Amp is Stable at 2400@2

Update - so I set the gain as instructed above which gave me my 69v. The problem I have now the sub isn’t loud at all, isn’t half as much bass or flex than before. Considering it’s a 2000w rms Orion H2 and a Orion 2400w rms amp with a custom 29hz enclosure it’s really disappointing, I tried...

Okay cool, I have noticed though that when it’s on 0 it really doesn’t sound like a 2000w Rms subwoofer, sounds more like a £20 woofer. Real quiet etc. I will try and set the gain correctly on 0 and see what happens, if not I’ll set the gain again using the subwoofer level that way should...

Fantastic Thankyou for that information, I will do this tomorrow and try again, now you’ve said that I understand exactly where you are coming from. The frequency was higher than the LPF so it wasn’t going to pick up the Correct voltage. The head unit goes upto 35, I run at 27 as that’s the...

I’ve finally pieced everything together with my setup and after some help. I’ve got a single Orion H2 15” 2000w rms wired down to 2 ohm with a Orion XTR PRO 2400@2ohm. I’ve run an extra battery to the boot, 70mm2 power earth for second battery and amp. Using a visual ice custom ported box tuned...

Set my multi metre to VAC 200 but when the gain is all the way up the multi metre shows 39v so something isn’t right there. Need to try a better MM really or get a oscilloscope to stop clipping

The guy is very good, he’s called Sam Vennard. He’s well known of his audio builds and his repairs. He makes hybrid subs, changing drivers into other subs etc Etc very clever guy, he repairs amps from all over the world. Pretty impressive to be honest! Yeah I will check there’s no clipping I...

Happy days, all fixed! The RCA ports had completely broken off the board, how I have no idea but it’s fixed, cost me £35 too so not too bad. Now in terms of setting up the gain, I’m going to do this with a DMM, I’m running 1 subwoofer at 2 ohms, the amp is 2400@2ohms, what should my gain be set...

Good luck in what respect? Getting it repaired? Apparently this guy is really good and repairs them for a living so hopefully he can sort it out

Correct. No output at all. Got a guy local to me that has repaired amps for years, really well known in the Audio Scene in the U.K. so I’ve been told, he’s going to go over my amp tomorrow and hopefully find and repair the issue. So frustrating finally get everything sorted, lots of money later...

I’m really hoping it isn’t the amp, i haven’t heard this enclosure in action yet and it’s really frustrating me now. I have two fuses one under the bonnet for the 2nd battery and one from the 2nd battery to the amp. If any of the fuses were blown surely the amp wouldn’t power up at all cause...

I’ve tested the RCA leads with continuity and it’s beeps when it should and doesn’t when it shouldn’t which is good. My multi metre is the same as picture below, where do I find VAC? And how do I test it? Put the pos and neg from multi metre in the respective speaker outputs on amplifier and...

New box is in, everything is connected up but no sound from woofer, touched the speaker cable on a 9v battery and the speaker moved so the wiring is connected up properly inside the box, amp has power as the light is on just no sound or movement from woofer at all Subwoofer is wired up like so

My drift car is a bmw if that counts and the mrs Mercedes is stop start, I’ll pinch her battery lol. I think I’ve found the stem of the problem. The subs were prewired in the box when I bought it, I connected it all up and left it, i imagine they are wired at 1ohm (dual 4ohm dvc) which will...
