I have to say the same on this point. My old PPI used to get very hot to the touch. That was when they had that nice shiny chrome looking cover though.

any suggestions? brands/specific models

200-250

i know these subs are not up to par with most of the talk on this site, but that doesn't mean you can't throw some suggestions in. I am just trying to help out a young friend that is just getting into audio who bought his first subwoofers(used). Thanks.

specs: 4 ohm power range: 50-175 watts RMS each peak power: 400 watts frequency response: 18-400 Hz my buddy is looking for a decent cheap amp to power these. I know this question is broad and can get several different answers, but I am just looking for some suggestions to give him. Also...

what about competition wise. I know i can not attempt to compete with it cutting out like that but, i addressed earlier that my roommate was considering entering competition and was wondering if i wanted to enter with him. Is a set up like mine worth competing locally?(specs are on my first post)

where can i get a dmm or can i just go to a shop and get it tuned...how much would that run usually? what about heat wise...i have the amp mounted to the back of the box between the seat. Could it just not be breathing properly?

it has gain, subsonic freq. adjust, lowpass freq adj, and Phase 0-180 which is currently not pushed it.

it may have started about a year ago another thing...when i turn the gain up on the knob up front, I can almost hear a sound sometimes coming through the sub as i do it(not sure if that matters to the above situtation , but i thought i would just throw that in....that happens not too often though)

just cranked up...i havn't messed with the controls on the amp itself in 2 years...kind of sad but I just havn't paid that much attention. I usually just adjust it on the head unit itself and I have a gain knob up front as well.

What would cause it to do that? (not sure what clipping is)....When it cuts off though, it is for a few minutes. Sometimes I can turn the car off, turn it back on and its back on.

I have had the RE SX 12" for almost 2 years now. I have it hooked up to a Diamond Audio D5 1200.1. They both have been great to me, except when I turn the bass up for an extended period of time, the amp cuts out sometimes; even after maybe a minute of having it turned up really loud(and I mean...

What are some decent brands of farad capacitors or does it even really matter? I found a Stinger one that I liked and wasnt sure if they are decent for 1200w. Any other recommended caps?

thats great...insurance said i could go with the d5 600.1 which is more expensive than the ppi. thanks for yalls help

would the ppi pcx2125 be sufficient enough at 250x2 at 2ohms if i cant go with the 600.1
