What is the infrasonic filter?

The infrasonic filter (normally marked subsonic) is designed to filter frequencies below tuning to protect the sub from unloading. It should be set about 5-10Hz below tuning. The low pass filter limits the upper frequencies the sub plays and it should be set at 80Hz. The phase adjustment should be set to 0°. It is sometimes usefull for inverted mounts and shifting the phase can sometimes help correct out of phase sub placements but for the purposes of your skill level, let's just leave it alone.

Regarding the other things mentioned here, you need to close that hole in the box with a terminal cup and all of your power wires should be the same size. For that amp, they should be 1/0. You can look at your wiring like a chain.... if you have a 1000lb capacity length of chain and you out a 100lb capacity link in the middle of it, your entire chain becomes a 100lb capacity chain. With that said, there are some considerations that can be made for short lengths of wire but generally speaking and for sure, if you don't understand the math you should always use wires of the same size.

The hole is already taken care of. And thanks for the help

So i finally got to look at my subs today and a negative wire was disconnected from one of the subs would that be why one sub was getting hot even tho the negative wire that was disconnected went to the other sub?

Btw my amp has never gone into protection mode i sealed the hole right after I took the pics i have the subs wired right i know about the wires i didnt know a small ground would be an issue but i do know about the power wires . I posted on hear so i can learn what i dont know thats partly what this website is for is helping each other out with things and selling and buying but you dont have to be an a** about things so dont comment unless your trying to help
