Maybe the EQ is the prob...

its left+ and right- to bridge this amp. PG 600.2 Ti
so you think i should just run two seperate strands and tie them both into the amp bridged?

yes, that would be much better, but probably won't solve your problem unless the wire is too small. Make sure you have the LP filter on and your feeding the amp a good signal.

you sure it is + to - ?

no difference. had to bump up the sub level a little but they still sound ghey.

 

[f150_on_32s 10+ year member]

i'm 100% sure its bridged correctly.

the wire HAS to be good though right? They are reaching MAX excursion. They just aren't loud.

i guess the next step is to hook them up to the fosgate 4004 that is currently powering my comps and see if it matters. i hate this

Wire is wire...

wier is wire unless it's too small then you lose power.... and your diving the power capacity in 1/2 splitting it like that.

Now if you went from 4 ga to 8 ga then your cool..prolly even 4 to 6... But not cool to run 10ga then split it to more 10ga...

You could also wire one sub up for 2 ohms and then plug it into one channel on the amp and they ensures it is getting 300 watts. see how it sounds. Might be a problem with your amp.

the thing that confuses me is that the subs are moving all the way. If they were not recieving enough power, they wouldnt have much movement right? Maybe the box is too small too tho. Cuz since I hear the SS subs are pretty good with the lows and if ur box has a different tuning or whatever ,Yes sealed boxes can have different peaks, then it wouldnt be much loud.

i had them in a sealed box where they were getting a little over 1 cube each but they were boomy. They were a heck of alot louder and i could still bottom them out easily but i thought the box being too big had someting to do with it.

.65 should be prefectly fine for them. it seems like they are mediocre loud and then as soon as it seems like they should be hitting hard, they start popping and bottoming out.

now that i have ripped apart and reinstalled my system, i think the ss's need to either find a wall socket or burn at the stake. I hooked one up to the fosgate and although it wasn't gettin much power, it still sounded like butt. anyone in the sandiego/LA area want some ss's cheap? buy me a single jl10w3v2 and they are yours.

well im convinced it is your enclosure then. u didnt mention if you are ported or sealed right now.

fyi. the SS made close to ZERO sound outside of a box. it is very possible if the box isnt correct, you wont hear much.

 

[f150_on_32s 10+ year member]

its sealed and there is no possible way its the box. unless the hi qual mdf absorbs sound.

this box is without a doubt one of the best built i have ever seen. i will get some pics for you of it tommorow.
