lol, interesting sound, glad it works right now.

Is that a sealed box though? Those R's will perform much better ported, just so you know

I didnt hear anythign in the second vid?

have you checked and made sure all your power and ground connections are tight?

have any extra RCA cables laying around you could swap in and test?

what brand headunit?

all i can hear in the second vid is static, possible group loop?

is the amp powering on?

edit: stupid question if the subs are indeed making noise.

you may want to try a different amp, sounds like it might be a signal issue caused by the amp itself

vented and ported are the same thing. it could be port noise from being a horribly designed and built box. i'd have to hear it, but you can get some pretty wicked noises from not having enough port area, or being way off on height to width ratio.

mmmm doesnt sound like it

i can have the volume all the way down

i had subs in these box before. the box does **** but not that bad

if it does this with the volume down, i'd say wiring. ground or rca wires. ground loops can be a whining noise that raises with the rev of the motor usually. but if you have the crossover filter where it should be on the amp, it shouldn't be able to play any higher frequencies, thus also filtering alternator whine.

alright everything looks good to me

im going to have someone else look at it and see if maybe im just not seein something

 

[xbatxattackx 10+ year member]

alright so i hooked up a little 300w amp to one of the subs for a sec and it hit. so that means my ground and remote and power and everything is good. right? so i think its the amp then right?
