For the love of god, check pre-outs

that seems like what you want? if i can figure out how to take vids with my digital camera ill take a vid of my set up.

the funny thing is, when i run the amp at 4 ohms and the subs are only getting 550 rms, it sounds almost as good as when i am running them at 1 ohm. Not much of a difference, it's just the low lows are heard a little more.

How loud do you guys think i should be with the information i am giving you, based on what you have seen in the video?

Check your power/ground

stick a dmm across the power and the ground, and see how your voltage is.

Porting wouldnt fix this, these should be WAY louder off that amp.

if it makes you feel better these are my 2 12's on 100 watts RMS (for the pair)

100 rms? What the hell? If that's only 100 rms then i have some serious problems somewhere. What were you playing in that vid?

i don't remember on the first song but the second was bass i love you

but this was my box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif:laugh://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

if your talking about on the amp, then it reads 13v when cranked up with the car on.

that is why i have to continue with this thread, they are just farting IMO. And you sold me this amp, LOL

Did you check the pre-outs?

it will add 3 db, that;s what it will do.

No... it's not that simple. The +3db is completely meaningless and people misinterpret that rule of thumb. With Type R's, you're going to see much more than a 3db gain across a great deal of the audio spectrum, particularly from 35-50hz.

And I still think your subwoofers are out of phase. Switch one of them and see what happens.

i'm getting ready to in a sec

That amp was working perfectly when I sold it.

You have it beating in the other vids, what did you change?

i know, but the subs aren't hitting hard in any of the vids. And all the vids were takin with my gain at 75%, which is way unstable and not good for the amp at 1 ohm. When i turn the gain down a little bit i can barely hear the subs beat at all.

Run the gain up a little bit.

If your running stock alt/bat in that car and not getting a drop below 13V full tilt, that amp is still hungry.

Brutus amps are very cost effective, but their efficiency leaves something to be desired.

They are curent hogs, my aq2200 was about the same current-draw wise.

Do you know how to check the preouts?

Incase you dont, set Dmm to AC volts, then unplug one rca, voltage should rise slowly with the volume knob to around 1.5-2 or so volts

it stays around 13.2 volts at the lowest when the car is on

bet subs are wired incorrectly,amp crossovers are wrong,type r's are in sealed box

is this with the probes touching the pre outs on the head unit? Or the amp
