New help with new set up

[Jake35]

Ok so I bought 2 jbl s3's and got the nvx jad1200.1 amp the wires I got are the Belva back02 but the amp didn't come with the converter for the wires so I couldn't install the Belva bak02 and got Rockford fosgate 8gauge wires. I'm just wondering if I should keep it the way it is or get the converter and use the Belva bak02. If anyone could explain this to me it would be great.

Where did you buy your amp jake? If you ordered from sonic it should have came with the 1/0 to 8 gauge reducer

Ps you could have gotten a lot nicer amp from Soundrive for less... Fsd audio amps are on sale could have got the fsd 1200 for around 170 and the 1600 for around 220

Yea I'm new to owning systems so don't know much. But yea the amp didn't come with the reducer thing I called and there shipping me one. I'm just wondering if it's worth switching out. Also I don't know if they just **** or what or if it's cause of cold weather or not broke in yet but subs rally are not hitting at all. My door speakers are hitting harder.

What box ? It's possible that the subs are wired at 4 ohms not 1

Atrend 12DQV

I'm not sure what they put the subs at cause there's a switch on them to switch 2or 4 ohms I guess. Idk I think the amp is turned down pretty good and idk how to turn it up.

 

[Jake35]

So is it worth switching out the wires , ?

are the subs wired out of phase? upgrading he wire will help in the long run. you have your crossover set right and your subsonic is all the way down?

I have no I idea. This is my first time with a system so I'm still learning. But I'll take some pics.

So is this a stock head unit? How are you getting signal to your amps?

Level is your gain, try not to overly crank it but if its less than 30% up, thats your problem. Also Have your ohm selector on those subs for single 2 ohm and wire them parallel to the amp.

Also whats the use of asking on the forums if you disregarded the whole forum's advice on equipment selection? Box is the most important part of the setup and you fked up by buying a premade atrend garbage box.

I have the kenwood ddx8901HD. And I took all the stuff in to abc to install so I'll call to see what they have the subs at. And what do you mean wire them parallel to the amp. The amp is currently attached to the back of my back seat.i don't have time to mess with the level right now cause I'm at work but I looked at the level and can't tell if it's up or down. But the level is set to diagonal of where is says 6v
