Well... this was a change from my past setup which was an 18" HDC3 off of a 3000W amp in a 5.2cu. ft box....
I just put in 2 custom made 15's I got from a member on the steavemeadeforum.
box is 7.8cu. ft. after displ. 2x6" Aero's (14sq.in port/cube) total of 108sq.in of port I believe. They are powered by my MX3000.1 @1 ohm with 1/2 gain. They are made for ABOUT 1000-1200W I'd say... It is tuned to 32Hz.
I am getting some decent flexing, but it's not quite what I expected, and I made sure I wouldnt get my hopes up so I wouldnt be disappointed but..... It just doesnt have the POP that the HDC had.
The strange part is i'd say around 38-40Hz, it hits a little harder than the HDC, but when it hits low, the subs max out quickly as far as volume, but they don't appear to be reaching max excursion...??? That part I am a little confused on.
I used the 50hz test tone to set the gain...I set the radio's max @30/35 volume on the 50hz tone...but on the 30hz tone, it maxes out @only 25. Again it's got some OK flexing, but its really not that loud. I'd guess it peaking around 35hz from Lil Jon song Throw It Up... hits the lowest note the hardest (at least its the only one that makes my ear tickle).
I hope I didnt wire one of them out of phase...any easy way to tell before I pull them out. I had to wire in series/parallel. Was kinda of confusing since it was my first time wiring like that, but it tested @1ohm so I at least know I got that right.
Gotta say, don't think this is gonna satisfy me for long.... for what the HDC was... close enough to as loud for 1 sub...i liked the sound of it better
If you see anything wrong with the way the gains are set, please let me know.
P.S.... and im still KIND OF having voltage issues
