Sorry, its hard for me to explain. But, I was just giving an idea that I had tested successfully with my professor, no need to bash on me. And I had .15mm wall flex, not .5mm, mistype. The flex method involves "the control of expanding and contracting of the walls in order to control the...

That right there may be your problem. Is your enclosure ported or no? If it is not ported, then 1.5in is way too thick for an enclosure. You want some flexibility on your walls so your sub has more room to move that air. I try and make my boxes so the two side walls expand about 0.15mm, which...

I always start with the small things... are my connections and ground 100% clean and secure? Do I have the right wire gauge for my amp? Do I have my amp's temperature under control? Did I change anything else (besides the amp and sub) when I upgraded? (wire location, ground location, fuse...

Whichever way is easiest for you. Remember, once you apply fiberglass its hard to remove, so start with the project that would be easier to clean up if you make a mistake. And make sure any bonding material you use wont chemically react with the paint and cause discoloration or a failed result...

Yes, it is wired correctly. And I don't mind the power loss because I have a 1.6L Sentra that is a Rattlecage... I also have the amp set to a very low gain, but pretty high bass boost; hoping its not trying to push itself too hard. I listen to hardcore metal, so I don't want a lot of gain from...

Is the hole on the door itself (rust underneath the panel) or is it on the plastic panel? You could use corrugated plastic that you can pick up at any hobby or DIY hardware store. Flexible, easy to shape, fairly cheap. Then use some thick,dry caulk, or Bondo (or silicone if u want a flexible...

Hello. I have been using a Dual XPE2700 Series 400w amp and 2x12"s SVC (bought as a set). I recently acquired (1) @ 10" Memphis MClass 10" sub 4ohm DVC 600w (250-300RMS) and I have properly installed the sub and my own auto-venting system (for cooling purposes). I have had no problems so far...

OK, next question... I acquired an 8 inch sub as well, but it is 8omh. I want to hook my 12 inch sub and my 8 inch sub to my amp. Amp specs: 400w, RMS rating: 4ohm; 50w x 2 chan;-- 2 ohm: 75w x 2 chan;-- Bridged, 4 ohm: 150w x 1 chan Sub specs: 12 inch: 175 RMS at 4 ohm 8 inch: 120 RMS at 8...

I am new to car system audio. I am not new to wiring. I have HU is 50Wx4 with 4 small speakers that can handle up to 300w. I also have one 12 inch sub that has 175W RMS, max 500W. I am debating on purchasing an amplifier that is a 400W 2 channel amp. I have my speakers wired directly to my...
