Blew my subs....

So I guess its everyones mission to be a dick to someone who is relatively new to this. So this is how car audio people are. Anyways how about just one 18" like the Audioque HDC3? Oh I forgot to mention what amp I am running. I am running a Hifonics BXI20008D.

you sure you were running that amp to your CVRs at 4 ohms, not 2 or 1? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif:laugh://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

theres no way u blew a cvr on 300rms getting clean signal. i have mine getting 500 each in one vehicle and 400 in another, and a clean signal, and theyve run great for over a year now. still hit very hard for what they are. so u must have ur gains set wrong, subs wired wrong, something is wrong!

I am pretty sure.

How is thee HDC3 18 copper coils? Also what is the difference with the D2 or D1?

 

[Jimmaaay 10+ year member]

Its either the Audioque or a Fi 18?

I've personally seen 3 separate installs with CVR's that had over 400 watts DAILY ported and didn't die.

IA 187 15's are my pick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

D1 means it has 2 1 ohm coils,and it runs at either .5 or 2 ohms. D2 means it has 2 2 ohm voice coils. To be run at 1 ohm or a 4 ohm load on the amp. Dual 2 is pretty popular. The AQ is a good choice if you have the room for a box that will be about 7 cube gross.

Well everyone has made fun of em for not bothering the gains but no one has told him the reason why he blew his subs. Settings gains are gonna make me personally a bit nervous and I guarantee with all the worrys of a clipped sound that this forum has...anyone that isnt too sure about it would be worried to. This guy just decided not to even fool with adjusting them...WHICH I actually considered BUT id rather get full power out of the amps. But yea havent seen anyone give any helpful advice yet.

So the HDC3 18 should be fine wired at 2 ohms getting around 1000rms?

That's skimping on the power. If you only have that much, get 2 SDCs.

 

[Jimmaaay 10+ year member]

Well what 12's would you recommend? Lookin to pay maybe 200 per sub? Any Rockford Fosgates good?

lvl 4xl If you ever decide to go with a bigger amp, we all do, you can get nasty with it!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
