Need some help with my cvr's

[zthumper 10+ year member]

Well I have 2 kicker cvr 12's 4-ohm. I have a kicker kx600.1 running the both of them and I am not happy with em. I want them louder. My amp is only turned up about 3/4 on the gains and I can smell the voice coil when I play them for a while. I dunno what is goin on because I am only gving them around 200 or 250 a piece. Any suggestions?

don't clip your amp, i had my CVR's off a power acoustiks 3000db w/ no prob.

You need more power and/or different enclosure. What do you have them in now?

I have them in about a 4 cube box total so around 2 each. Its sealed and the subs are downfiring(in a truck). I have blown 3 total and I keep turning the gain down and they keep getting quieter and I can still smell voice coil. What do ya think i should tune them too..... or get a different box?

Check your box for leaks if you keep blowing subs.

Ight guys I really need your help now.....I just blew another 2 subs and im pissed. Do ya think it is the setting on the amp or the amp itself that is doing it. That is like 4 or 5 blown subs total now and I am freakin mad. The box or something i am totally clueless I am thinkin about selling throwin my whole system away and starting over with losing a lot of cash.

x2

I cant think of any other reason why you keep blowing subs.

your probably clipping the shit out of the amp unless you have very low preouts on your headunit, turn gains down and build a better box....

what do you have you HU settings at?

[zthumper 10+ year member]

What should I turn down on the HU?

dude, you have two dual 4's thats either a 1 or 4 ohm load, that amp does max power into a 2 ohm load...................

Yeah hes either clipping the shit out of his amp trying to push the subs in a 4ohm load, or frying it with a low impediance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Get a 1 ohm stable amp r trade your dual 4 CVRs for dual 2s...theres no way you should be blowing CVRs with only 300 a piece....install problem for sure...
