    New battery, new grounds...voltage is always 14.4-14.5...lights still dim on bass?O.O

    My car has an EVIC built in which monitors voltage drops and constant battery voltage, I know before the battery upgrade and ground upgrade it would dip down to 13.6, now it's always at 14.4-5... (much like I used the Scan Gauge II in my last Toyota to monitor it) so what do you recommend? I'm...

    New battery, new grounds...voltage is always 14.4-14.5...lights still dim on bass?O.O

    Ok, so I replaced my stock neg grounds with 0 gauge, got a new big daddy 75 AMP\HR 850CC (1000 CA) battery, now my voltage is always at about 14.4-14.5 (it was only at 14.1 with the stock battery). Now whenever say the bass notes hit and it drops from 14.5, to 14.4, my dash lights dim...very...

    Burning smell with EVERY subwoofer I seem to use? Brand new L7 now.

    Because I never asked about the quality of my subwoofer, I did not come in saying "is my system crap?" but within the first five replys, maybe that's why I argue with anyone who thinks the solution is to buy something else (which is flat out idiotic advice, and flat out insulting) but I guess a...

    Yeah, let's go with that, I haven't heard them side-by-side next to the W7 and the 9500 or anything. I can get a W7 locally for 800$, 9500 for about 400-450$, I swear some car audio enthusiasts have some of the cockiest attitudes here how do you even expect someone to bother taking in your...

    I'm sorry but the 9500 is a insane subwoofer, you can say what you want, but that is incredible woofer. But I'm sure if I instead bought a W7 you'd be happy right?

    Apparently I've never smelled it I guess...I've dealt with a lot of subwoofers...and the only smell I've smelled is the one I've always smelled >.>, and when I said that everyone was like "OMG UR LAST SUBS WERE BURNING UP TOO" for two years straight? Psh.

    Anyway, actually went to Car Audio (top in Atlanta, insanely expensive) and they tested it, my sub woofer is NOT burning up voice coils we actually cranked the gain up a good bit more and tuned it, he said it's the Formaldehyde used in MDF boxes, the smell was not electrical, so good to know I'm...

    Burning smell with EVERY subwoofer I seem to use? Brand new L7 now.

    Because I was trying to figure out everything with the 8v into normal amps as I never realized that, in the process of getting hung up on that and understanding it, as people were saying my stock signal should have been fine when it was crap compared to now coming out of the line driver, you...

    Not really, I do the kinda the same he does on other forums (troll), I just think he shouldn't even attempt giving advice if he's going to be a d*ck about it, disputes the entire purpose of helping someone, all of his comments from the go have been pretty much a smack in the face to anything...

    To be entirely honest, I get your cockyness and all that, really this is prob your "domain" to play in and talk down, and I wouldn't want to take that escape away from you, or even remotely interfere, it's your own world. However, I would like you to find me a L7 brand new in a good enclosure...

    Yes but after this experience I'm sure as hell not buying without testing again.

    So question, if I went to best buy right now and bought 2x 10 CVR (2ohm) you think it would hit big time louder than this L7? I know it's far more cone space, but I'm talking in general.

    Burning smell with EVERY subwoofer I seem to use? Brand new L7 now.

    Not exactly...ACCUBASS is what is actually bringing my "rock" music bass alive, before it didn't really catch it, it's a processor built into the LC2i...much like the Epicenter. All of Audiocontrols stuff has this these days, people buy them as they also "restore" bass LC2i below.

    Burning smell with EVERY subwoofer I seem to use? Brand new L7 now.

    Well the smell I recognize is the same "smell" my TR-75's made when I played them...always. I even went to the shop that I bought them from and we blazed them full volume and he heard zero distortion, and said the smell was just materials in the box or excess glue on the woofer, also felt the...
