Wow, just took the car out for its first cruise with the new setup and all I can say is "ouch!". It really hurts the ears now. I'm pretty sure I could do some damage to my hearing now if I crank it for extended periods. On the positive side, for some reason, my headlights don't dim as much as...

Here are some pics. It's a little messy right now, but you get the idea. It's in a 6th gen civic hatch. It's a sealed enclosure. And man does that thing thump now. Thanks guys. Look forward to my next thread: "Good vibrations: Help, my doors fell off"

Shit! I put in a bass tester CD and it blew the hatch off the back of my car! Just kidding:naughty: :naughty: Uhm. Well, let me just say, that with the old RF, I had to take the rear view mirror apart and tighten it up. I had it so tight that no matter what, the mirror wouldn't move. I just...

It was like this before:

Ugh don't tell me that I've only had the sub in for about a week. If it WAS causing damage, do you think the sub is still ok? On the positive side I have it all wired up, just have to fasten the sub back in, then take it out to my car.

The push kind.

One more question. The pos/neg on each voice coil are reversed. So the wires will have to overlap eachother a bit. This won't cause any interferrance will it? It will be like this:

Alright. I'll be back soon and let you guys know how it goes.

Or this?

Ok, so like this:

Okay guys. I took the sub out and I drew a little diagram to show you guys how it's wired.

I'm going to pull the sub out tomorrow and let you guys know. It's nearly 4:30am here though, so I'm hitting the sack. Hopefully I'll be booming(louder) tomorrow.

Here's my expert photoshop attempt. One wire into the first pos, one wire into the first neg.

* Kenwood MONO bass amplifier * Rated power (4 ohm, 20 ~ 200 Hz, 0.5% THD) @ 14,4V : 300W RMS * Rated power (2 ohm, 100Hz, 0,9% THD) @ 14,4V : 550W RMS * Maximum output power @ 14,4V : 1100W * Aluminium Die-cast heat-sink with Aluminium dress-plate * Power MOSFET Switching Power Supply * 2...

Cool I didn't know I could do that. What is that process called? Bridging the sub?
