Found someone selling a refurb'd one... was just wondering how good an amp they are. For comparison, I used to run a very old school RF 500bd (500rms @ 4ohms iirc) and I loved it. Bought a VR2000d, and it couldn't even come close to the RF (2000rms @ 4ohms... wtf) Only 2 real sub amps I've...

So 55 views and no one? wow

Use your mirrors!

So, nothing? Just to clarify, it's a slot port, along one of the sides of the box

Yes, sorry, box dimensions are outside's ( 3/4 MDF used), but port dimensions are the inside, final product numbers (Port will be 17 X 5.25)

Hey everyone! Been a while. Right to it! Looking to design and build a new sub box for my gimpy old 12's. Numbers are looking like 30W X 17L X 21H outside dimensions. Slot ported at 17 X 4.5 X 22.75. Those numbers give me an internal of 4ish ft^3 volume for the box, and a tuning of 39hz...

Strangely enough, no external fuses on this amp, but I will check my connections again

Technically speaking, leaving it hooked up shouldn't have been the cause of this. That's what the remote wire is for. but yea, don't really know what's going on, gonna pop the cover and check the caps in it, maybe replace 'em if there's nothing else obviously wrong

So, I've been playing with this a bit more, no closer to knowing wtf is going on, but more information if it might help someone help me lol. The amp doesn't fire up right as the deck does, like it should, it takes about 2-3 seconds after the song starts to put out some bass. The louder it...

Well, I re-did the wiring on my subs (put the DMM on my coils while I was at it, all good) took it from a 1 to a 4ohm final load on the amp. Instead of putting both wires into the speaker outputs on the amp, I put 1 in each side (It's a mono amp with parallel outs... I think) and adjusted the...

Same pre-out voltage as the previous HU that was in there, and the subs never came out of the box, so the wiring stayed the same as they were before. Another question, very simliar... I have an older Rockford amp that worked the day I took it out, it went into a plastic storage bin, for a year...

Had a really cold spell here during the winter, and the amp decided to make some funny stuff happen to my subs when the car turned on in the really cold. I never EVER had a problem with my old RF amp, no matter what the temp was, so this was a new problem. Running a Vr2000D amp, didn't have...

Take this with a grain of salt, I've never personally worked with Vinyl, but I would think steaming it while your glueing and pressing around the raised part would help it to stretch and conform to the shape better /shrug

14 gauge should be plenty
