    Port and firing question

    well either way a proper size box for those 15"s wont give you a lot of room for the port to make any difference in any direction. It usually "louder" firing rear, with a minimum distance of 6". I have my port for 2 12s' facing rear and subs up. I don't have rear speakers so they fire into the...

    Which of these two would you choose?

    Need to know the ohm of the subs, single or dual, and the ohm stability of the kicker bridged. You need to match it all. That is more important than the wattage imo. Not saying matching watts doesn't matter but a sub can usually take a little more unlike an amp running at an unstable ohm load.

    32in subs? out of control!!!

    can't imagine the Transient response being all that great... lol

    Why are my amps getting so FU**ING HOT!!!

    I have a t1500.1bdcp and it gets hella hot at the fins, you can't touch it for more than a couple of seconds. I've learned to not worry about it. That's what the fins are for. I installed a couple of fans to pull the heat up and maybe that is helped me to not go into thermal. Most amps don't...

    Tuning Gains

    Yeah, I'd go for a bass processor. I guarantee you if you played a bass song, that thing would bump. Since your music taste are lacking the bass, there is nothing really wrong with going with an epicenter. I use one occasionally for Spanish music. Really brings out the tuba!! Lol I tuned my amp...

    Need some help with my system.

    Yes, the sub level on the receiver is attenuation. All the way it will send the max voltage your headunit it is rated at. That doesn't clip. Your HU master volume does clip so just turn it up all the way until you hear distortion and then back off until it is gone. That is your max volume for...

    Need some help with my system.

    Yeah, I said that you need the EQ down. But the remote bass control that you run with phone cable to the front is a remote GAIN CONTROL. That is used to level off gain when you don't want bass etc. If it is connected that can be turned up all the way because it would just be matching to whatever...

    Need some help with my system.

    They are wired in parallel so if they are 4 ohms you have a 1ohm load going to your amp. I've heard that hifonics does push out near rated RMS so you should be getting near 1k watts. Your amp is 1ohm stable... Make sure your HU has the bass level all the way up. Its attenuation. and that it was...

    Need some help with my system.

    It seems set up about right. Lower your LPF probably too so you don't get vocals. My experience with Hifonics amps is their voltage sensitivity is pretty low. I had my gain when I owned one at about 4 o'clock to get 32 volts on a DMM. I didn't want to push it hard so i had to run it with a line...

    What wire size to use? Do I need to fuse?

    Fuse your 4(ga) 18in within the battery, don't fuse the speaker leads, set your gain right, use a speaker wire anything between true 12 to 16ga. You're set. The rest is up to you. Where to mount the crossovers and how to run the cables. If there was a short the inline fuse would most likely blow...

    FI BL Options.

    That video has a lot of great info, but was rather hard to follow with the monotone voice. Lol

    FI or DC

    Alright cool, just put in my order for an extra 30ft of knukonceptz. My original run is rockford 100%OFC but its insanely expensive lol. Yeah im getting a mechman at about 240amp i think i should be good...

    FI or DC

    thanks, that two for DC. On the exact dimensions, its 3.63^3 tunned at 32hz. I'm thinking the DCs will love it then. I'm going to hold off until I have the alt put in and once I lay my wiring for the extra xs im going to grab before going ahead and ordering. Would the one run of 1/0 be enough...

    FI or DC

    I've been leaning with the DC based on what I've read up on google searches in regards of taking it above the RMS. Great input, thanks.
