    different amp for my subs?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Couple problems I see....for one NO BASS BOOST. Set your HU sub out to max and use the gain setting tutorial sticky at the top of the amp forum (dont have a DMM? GET ONE its only 20 bucks)...

    different amp for my subs?

    i have an MA AUDIO HK-1398 powering a pair of 12" MA AUDIO XL's. subs are dual 4 ohm DVC rated at 600w/1200w and the amp is running at 700w RMS x 2 @ 2 ohm and it is class a/b power. now occasionally this thing goes into protect when it seems to be hitting lots of really deep notes. sometimes...

    2 things, grounding and fan placement

    there are no fins, only perforation for a length of the amp then just chrome. in fact, here it is: and thanks thats good news about the ground. that means i get to cut another 2 ft almost off the sub amp grnd! yay!

    2 things, grounding and fan placement

    k first thing, my sub amp is sitting on top my sub box. the PGR terminals are on the right side and its grounded on the other, kind of long for a ground which does that have something to do with it overheating rather quickly? i could shorten the ground by maybe 1 to 1 1/2 ft if i ground it on...

    2 pieces acting screwy

    ok got both fixed. guy at the shop told me that for some reason the xover was being extra sensitive and was letting the 4v keep it on so he wired the rem to the ignition. with the amp my ground was bad. i had used some left over 4 ga and had temporarily stuck the remaining amount of wire i had...

    2 pieces acting screwy

    hmm i see so that is like an adapter. im sure a shop around here carries something like that. but is there something better about the side terminal than the top? the ring term i have on the + post right now has 2 separate screws to put stuff on. i have one screw just for the audio. hey but what...

    2 pieces acting screwy

    k my crossover isnt turning off like everything else when i shut my engine off, therefor draining my battery. i bought a simple on/off switch and put it in the pos wire until i can take it to a shop. its getting its pwr and rem from my h/u so is the prob most likely with the h/u or inside the...

    6x9's VS 6.5" midbass woofers

    so as far as going with 6x9's instead of midbasswoofs i would just have to listen to each then decide? if i go with the woofs, will they have to be in some kinda box where they are pushing air?

    6x9's VS 6.5" midbass woofers

    k i just recently put in 2 12" ma audio XL's but they arent playing the bass lines of songs too well. i listen to mostly hard rock/metal. ive got 4 6.5" alpine full ranges (not sure of the model) and they kinda distort if i put too much low freq. through em. i want something that will carry the...
