Blew another sub...

[MitchZ 10+ year member]

This always happens... Subs / speakers you name it.

I'm obviously doing something wrong.

I have 2 Pioneer premier 10's, (800 RMS each) (4 ohm DVC)

And a Kicker Zx2500.1 running at 4 ohms.

A Kinetik Hc2400.

And no Big 3

I blow speakers all the time. Sub(s) blew today. I was too pissed to check if it was just 1 or both. Probably both though... I saw one wasnt bumping and then they both stopped making noise.

I pull over and check and it reeks like smoke in my trunk.

It looks like I'm putting car audio on hold under school starts and I find a nice FI Btl or something sexy that won't blow up, and of course - nothings going in until big 3 is done.

**** car audio....

I've blown so many speakers as well. Good thing I get them cheap... name brands that do 75 RMS a piece. My gains are really far down on my 4 x 100 rms 4 ch.

Nothin is bumpin until I get a stable voltage....

is the bass boost cranked up on the 2500?

Operator error. Go to school before you install anymore equipment, easy solution i think. Save you money too.

I think its at +9 dB. (it goes up to +18 i think)

I thought I set the gains properly too.

I calculated the voltage to be like 70 volts or w.e then reset my deck and used a 50hz tone and set it to 70 volts, then I turned my deck settings up.

I guess I shouldnt drive around bumping 2pac ft roy jones jr - cant be touched.

**** that song hits hard lol

Pioneer premier 10's?

Which ones ( I think they only take 350 RMS ea, unless you got the pro's

if you bass boost is at 9, there's your fail. set it to 0

Isn't a 2500.1 too much power for those subs?

I think you need some advice from my sig

NO.

subsonic filter? Bass boost is a no-no unless you've got some subs that can take that kind of abuse - and Pioneer's arent those subs.

You've probably got it ported too, right? That's almost a quad fail.
