ok i recently bought a SX 15 (put in a 3.6 net CF box @ 32hz) and a nine.1 for my 89 accord and im a little disapointed compared to my old 12" vmaxes (new version with 1.5 net CF each @ about 40 hz) with a bx1205
there is not doubt that my new amp has more power becase i had to get a bigger fuse block becaseu i was blowing fuses, but it still doent seem all that loud and doent make as much stuff rattle as my old setup. i also dont have the gain very high, but thats becaseu i have 6.5v preamps and its not supose to be high, but i dont know weather to turn it up or not.
my new sub deffiniately has better SQ, but its just not as loud, i have it tuned lower so i think that might be something to do with it.
i am going to build a bigger box for it so hopefull i can get it louder that way, i also bought 4 - 4" aero ports for the new box but i need help with port placement and direction, as well as tuneing to make me happy. i just want it to shake everything like it did with my v-maxes, i hope im just doing something wrong that i can fix to make it better.
on top of the dissapointment of my new system, my not-quite-so-new kx350.4 quit working yesterday, it will only play so loud (barly enough to hear it) before it goes into protect and then shuts off, but if i turn it back down it will turn on again, untill i turn it a litte.
the only good part about this is that i boutght it on ebay and got a 3 year exended warranty, that was a good idea, but i called them and they said there was a problem with the warranty listing and it couldnt be fixed till tuesday, so i cant get anything done untill then.
give me some help, with my gain on the nine.1, my new sub, my new box (size,tuning,port placement, ect), suggestions about my broke amp. ill apreceiate anything, im just real pissed about the whole thing
i posted in the sub section because thats where the most people were
