Stinky W7's ??

[efm80 10+ year member]

well, my headunit volume goes to 63 so we did set the gains at 3/4 volume. We did use a DMM to set them. If my amp is clipping I really would have to say these new HD amps ****! But honestly I do not think that is the problem. If I was clipping extremely bad too, I think I would blow one of my 60 amp fuses that the JLHD750 uses. And my 12W7's are in 2cubes EACH so that should be plenty for them. More would obviously be better, but in order to save a little bit of my trunk we had to keep it at 4cubes total.

The12voltsux: I will definitely check that out. See, the way my trunk is that it is shallow all the way to the back then gets more wider up front. The box was cutom built to to get some cubes in the narrow space all the way backed up to the seat and then gets wider in the bulk of the trunk. The thing I noticed is that it does not seem that deep behind where tha W7's are because the box is almost like an upside down T, if you can imagine that. So the back of the subs(part thats inside the box) really moves a lot??? How much do you think it moves??? How would I know if its hitting the back of the box???

And my car is a 2008 Honda Accord with, I believe a 110 amp alternator. The other day I bumped for a good hour on the highway and never noticed it cutting out once. But then last night when it was parked I noticed it right away when I got going, but then once driving the problem did not return....voltage you think???

please help, this sucks!

play your subs at -6 with bass boost on, subs are meant to pick up bass in the song if u have higher up it'll pick up to much bass

me thinks voltage, becuase when your cruising on the highway your alts got full revs, but when your just sitting there your at idle=not alot of output from alt, i have two 1600 watt amps on a stock alt(110) with big 3 1/0 guage red top under the hood 9a31 in back, and when i was just sitting at idle i would get into the low 10s for voltage, great way to blow you stuff up, get a stinger voltmeter or use a dmm and check your running voltage while your bumpin see what that does, but i dont know much, so good luck

well its definitely not my votage. Finally checked my voltage out today at idle with the AC on and the lowest it dropped on the most bass intensive song was 12.5. It hovered in the high 12's and low 13's. Me and my installer were actually really surprised on how good it was considering I am running 2100 watts. The Kinetik 1800 and BIG 3 really help and being a new car probably helps too. Definitely do not need a HO alty now. Although, I'm really impressed in these new JL HD amps in how effecient they are and not being power hungry at all! All everybody always says is how ineffecient JL amps but I definitely disagree now.
