thats what we're wondering lol.
the dmm wires have resistance too. Most dmms will show different #s from one another. First you have to find the dmms resistance, set the dmm on ohms and touch the red and black probes of the dmm together, that # will show the dmms resistance, now measure your sub and subtract the dmms resistance from that # and it should show right around what ohm coils you purchased or what it is at series or parallel.
not really. i think what you are hearing is probably the "HDC" sound that i have posted about (as have a few others).
3/4 should be ok.
Do you think that sound is caused by the basket? Hopefully the 18's dont make that sound.
thats weird, because i have once again redone all my settings (my door speakers are pretty cheap and were making a popping noise with my headunit at 52/62, so i reset everything with volume at 48/62, eq flat (except 50hz at -1) and voltage at sub terminals at 55v using a 40hz 0db test tune with SSF at about 30. and when i play some rap songs that have quick hits it sounds like if i were to turn it up another notch of two the speaker would pop out. if i didnt have the speaker directly behind me in my pick up i dont think i would be able to hear it as well, but it sounds like it would cause some damage if i continue to play it like that. should i get some bass blockers for my door speakers so i can set my gains utilizing more voltage from my headunit?
nope, not the basket. supposedly it goes away during break in ( i know mine started to. at first it was terrible, but slowly it got to the point that you only noticed it if you were back there looking right at it).
