1000/1 & 2 W6's working but no BUMP

[Cshread 10+ year member]

I just got done hooking up my new system consisting of a JL 1000/1 and 2 12" W6v2 subs. I also just got a brand new optima red top. All the power lights are on and working correctly, and the subs can be heard and are semi loud when gains are cranked, obviously somethings wrong. Even when cranked these dont sound near as loud as my W3's. So im thinking its some setting on the 1000/1 one but i dont know which, any help please, i need to hear these bump! here are my settings:

Out Mode: FullRange

Filter Slope: 12dB

Filter Frequency: 65Hz

Filter Mode: LP

Infrasonic Filter: On

Infrasonic Freq.: 30Hz

Bass EQ: Off

Q: 1.4

Center Freq: 45

Bass Boost: 0

Mode/Slope: 12dB

Filter Freq.: 65Hz

Input Voltage: Low

Input Sensitivity: About 11'O Clock, maybe 35% of the way

Then my RCAs are plugged in here in the Amp Input

Output Polarity: Normal

out of phase? Sub out on deck?

1)Cross them over higher then 65hz

2)Is the box ported or sealed?

3)Turn the gain up-not that it's a direct comparison, but the gain is all the way up on my 1000/1 (no bass boost etc).

they are sealed

how are they (the subs) wired?

they are sealed

Ok, well turn the infrasonic filter off, cross them over around 90hz, and turn up the gain...how are they wired? The 1000/1 puts out the same power into a 1.5-4ohm load.

whats the pre amp voltage on your deck? mabie set the input voltage on the amp to hi.

 

[Cshread 10+ year member]

They are wired parallel, the positive and negative from each terminal is connected to each of the subwoofer outputs, im not sure the preamp voltage on my deck, ive had the same Alpine for like 6 years, anyway of know how to check?

Set gains with volume to about 3/4 generally speaking. Also, your subsonic needs to be around 15-20 preferably. And yes, your LPF needs to be at like 80 Hz or so, NOT 65, that's cutting out a lot of octaves.. you're sub is only playing between 30-65 Hz! That's a very small freq. range.

Hows the clipped signal?

turn the slope to 24db, bass eq on, and input voltage high and see what happens

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

i have slash the as well, i have mine xover at 65, slope 24, eq on , turn your bass boast down, turn your gains up around 1/2, you can adjust the Q's as well. hope that helps

No/minimal clipping, I set the volume level on the deck accordingly to each song. You can ask me again next year when the system is still working flawlessly.

"The 1000/1 puts out the same power into a 1.5-4ohm load."

"They are wired parallel, the positive and negative from each terminal is connected to each of the subwoofer outputs,"

maybe you killed your amp running it below its rated ohm load.

Try rewiring it to a 4 ohm load.

And do the amp settings as stated.

If the word "bump" is in your vocabulary, you bought the wrong subs; at the very least, you shouldn't have gone sealed.
