Help bass does not sound right.

[Hlf5084]

So I have everything skar audio. I have 2 ddx-2 dvc 1000w rms 10's and a ddx-2 dvc 1000w rms 12 in a t type box 5.5ft³ tuned to 32Hz i belive. A 2000w monoblock 1ohm stable skar rp2000.1. I have subs wired series parallel to bring my final impedance to 1.3 ohm. Set gain to 50v using a dmm. Also have 4 component 6.5 with crossovers running off a skar 75.4AB. My problem is the subs hit ok but not really hard and if they do it sounds like there is a popping sound. Please help

Mixing subwoofer sizes together is not a good idea. Causes cancelation. Build a box for just the two 10s and I bet you will be happier.

I had the 2 10s in a box but you can't wire 2 2ohm dvc subs to 1ohm. And after buying the Amp I found out that it overheats at 2ohm.

A one ohm stable amp should never "overheat" wired at 2 ohms. You sure you weren't wired at 0.5 ?

You must have an Suv, Van or wagon because throwing all that into a trunk is a major fail. Like stated, mixing sizes is never a good idea.
That amp should do the job on a pair of Ddx-10s, even this smallish 4th in a Lexus banged.

If you got the space a larger ported may be the way to go. Iirc they like a bigger box too. Get a efficient one built or grab a design and diy one for your 2 ohm power or get an amp that is suited better for your 2 ohm final load.

That amp overheats at 2 ohm?

Interesting.

You could have a bad amp, poor electrical or possibly your wired .5 I'd think. Those RP2ks always seem to run hot but protecting at 2 ohm?

Got any pics?

I didn't have the Amp overheat on me. That is what alot of other forms say about the skar 2000.1D.

Dont mix different size subs......keep the 10's or the single 12 not both.....dumbass....and fuck skar im so sick of seeing newbies buy that junk, must be the first brand that shows up on an amazon search i dunno

Nice enclosure (sarc)... Id just go with the 10's. And what forum is spreading around the idea a RP2k overheats at 2ohm?
Just get a proper box built, taking into account the power you'll be making at 2 ohm, ditch the cheapo cap and I bet it sounds way better.

Nice reply! The kid is trying to learn and you feel the need to call him a dumbass. I hope that you feel better about yourself now. Wtf is your problem?

How is there cancelation? What creates it? Yes new to complete systems but JRsomoothee you can kiss it. Call me a dumb ass again.
