//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I just got my new Fi 15' ssd flatwind the other day. I tried it out on my friends amp Sundown 1500. I know it was a little much for it but when you stuck your head up to the sub it was popping. You couldnt here it when u was sitting in the car though. Has any one ever had there's do this?

Popping? Is it like a slapping noise... maybe tinsel slap?

did u get the dual 2 ohm and bridged it for a 1 ohm load? what was the gain set at?

that happens to me when i wire it wrong

 

[scplayboy00 10+ year member]

it is a dual 2 ohm taking the final load down to .7. I dont have any tinsal slap because i pulled it out of the box and watched it. I think it was bottoming out. All of the gains are set right but then we turned it all the way up to see if it could take it. It took it all but that popping noise i didn't smell any coil.

It was wired at .7. I dont have any tinsal slap because i pulled it out and checked. All of the gains are right but then we turned them up to see if it could take it and it did all but the popping noise.

You must have somthing set wrong, I mean its a FI, they are the best subs in the galaxy.

I positive i had everything right remeber it is only sapose to hold 1200 or 1300 and it had 1500 going to it.

seriously a SSD on a bout 1800 watts its most likely bottoming out

They said the the Great12" challenge that the SSD's should be kept within their RMS rating because of thermal limits. AFAIK, all of the SSD's have the same motor so you were sending it too much juice.

Wayy too much powa.

Wire it series, that should be more adequate.

I thought the SSD was comparable to the RE SX?

Sending it to much power buddy. RMS is 800, Flatwound might get you an extra 200 or so, but your putting maybe 1600 or so to it...
