Box Question

First of all, I wouldn't recommend using 10 gauge for power & ground wire. Secondly, the amplifier is suspect at best. It's 800 watt rating is most likely an outlandish MAX power claim. Most of the time an amplifier's rms rating is roughly half of it's MAX rating, and then there's the matter of your ohm load. The amplifier might do 400 watts rms @ 2 ohms and 200 or less watts rms @ 4 ohms. Then there's the enclosure itself. A Kicker Comp shouldn't be causing any half decent enclosure to vibrate or flex in the slightest. If the enclosure is flexing AT ALL there's something obviously wrong.

And now I'm going to be brutally honest. The Kicker Comp is weak. It's not going to perform extremely well if you're interested in authoritative bass. Maybe you should think about stepping up to a Kicker CVR or Alpine Type R. You should also tell us the model number of your amp so we can look up it's specs...

Noo i am using the 10ga wire for my speaker wire.

Yeah it is a 800w 4 channel amp. And i am using 2 channels in the bridge.

yeah i might step up and get a better sub, Because right now i am using the 12in Kicker Comp.

what ohm is your sub wired to

what ohm is your sub wired to

I am not sure... how am i suppose to find that out?

Dang i am a big nooobb

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

if you don't know that's not good. you could be doing some real damage to your equipment

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

i think those subs only come in dual 4, hold on a sec

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

do you know the model number

Being that he's bridging a Legacy 4 channel, I hope it's 4 ohms.

Kicker Comp = svc, 4 or 8 ohms

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

i think those subs only come in single 4 ohm. so hopefully he is

 

[xKronicx 10+ year member]

Yeah i got a 4 ohm.

 

[dadydolas 10+ year member]

yeah found that. dude you need some help to get the most out of what you have. I suggest you spend a little bit of time reading. especially about sub wiring and ported enclosures.
