hi everyone, i have a 12' eclipse and a 250watt amp.

but my sub wont hit hard, i was wondering if it was because of the size of the amp vs the sub or if its my head unit, because when ever i try to turn my head unit up, it also turns off if it trys to hit hard.

soo idk.

anyone got an idea.

thankx alot.

sonys are known for weak outputs on the rcas even if it claims 5volts your luck to get a usable 1.5 volts....there may be a little . in front of the 5 volts that i've never paid attention to before

Can you be more specific?

Ported or sealed box? What size (cu foot)? What frequency it tuned to?

What model/type of hu?

What model/type amp?

What model/type subs?

Edit:

I just swapped out my sony hu for my new pioneer (literally, just about 30 min ago) and I noticed a HUGE difference in quality and how the subs sounded although they both supposedly put out 2v at the rca's

 

[hit that 10+ year member]

it is a sealed box, and ive tryed all the frequencies

the head unit is a sony xplode, thats all i could tell you about it, it came with my car when i bougt it.

i have a sony xplode amp.

and a eclipse sub.

edit.

hmm, idk

mine is the only head unit ive ever seen jus shut off if i turned it past 20.

Might be your battery... I have run my stuff with the car turned off once, and everything shut down at about 20.

 

[hit that 10+ year member]

i dont think its the battery, but eh im not to sure,

it did the same thing before i put my sub in

 

[hit that 10+ year member]

sooo i think i should just get a new head unit and that would solve everything.

agree?
