[QUOTE="pioneerpimp, post: 3166862, member: 573933"] Sub : RE MT 18" D.7 box: 7.5 cubes at 30 hz HU output: 4 volts Source Material: anything between 30 and 40 hz, alot of chopped and screwed which chad told me they boost the freqs like idiots causing a bass boost effect that can cause clipping. Now Ive tried to keep it to normal bass blasting. Ive ran a 30 hz test tone for like a minute at about 3/4 the volume I usually listen to it at, and it still gets hot. Amp Gain: I set it best i could with a DMM, its less than half though, and bass boost is at 1/4 Amp: Hifonics Bxi2005D Crossover: kicker 3-way with gain set at about half also Alt: Stock Batts: 2 walmart evertstart maxx 900CCA 1000CA Wire: Kicker 0 guage 2 runs of it ok, i just recently installed a dual .7 MT into a box and started messing around with it. the sub gets hot after like 3 or 4 mins or normal bumping off off maybe 1700 watts.
