The only correct answer so far in this thread and it's not even April Fool's Day.easiest thing to do right now is lower gain and maybe keep hu at 35 until u get another box, big 3 and a 2nd battery
how big is port on the 1.6? that must be larger too for larger box and for power u have, close to or right at 16 sq in per cf[uPDATE]I re-tuned the amp today with a -5db track I can definitely play on the sub a lot longer and it barely smells now after playing for awhile. So I've come to the conclusion its just the 1.6cuft box not allowing enough air flow to cool the voice coils? It's kind of my fault that I got impulsive when my amp came and didn't wanna wait for the box design. The new box I'm getting most definitely will take care of this issue. 1.6cuft is way to small for the sub. I also am upgrading to the big 3 whenever my wire shows up so that should help too.
Yes.. Yes.. and Yes. Very good. That sub needs some room to breathe and stay running cool.Just think of yourself waking up on a couch with your face crammed in the corner of the couch are trying to get a nice breathe of air??With your own breathe you can feel the heat??Correct?Thats what generally wakes you up.. that heat, turn to the other side with room, and you breathe better and are cooler not being confined to a corner .Not enough maintained voltage will destroy an amplifier and possibly the sub/or subs as well .Take it easy until you get your voltage maintained properly and the correct box for the sub..Learn to be patient or start digging into the bottom of your pockets .[uPDATE]I re-tuned the amp today with a -5db track I can definitely play on the sub a lot longer and it barely smells now after playing for awhile.

Yeah I'm gonna be buying a XS POWER XP3000 in about 2 weeks. Do you think the XP3000 combined with the big 3 and the stock starting battery under the hood would be sufficient electrical? Unfortunately I have found no company that makes a H/O alt for my car yet since its so new. I've reached out to mech man, DC Power, Iraggi etc... with no luck finding anybody that makes them. I'm planning on upgrading to a Orion HCCA 12" so I'm trying to make sure my electrical will be able to handle that sub down the road.Yes.. Yes.. and Yes. Very good.

Skimming back through this thread.. I dont believe you have stated what make /year model of the vehicle.Or what size you alternator is/Amperage, or what size battery you currently have= CCA, CA, RES.Yeah I'm gonna be buying a XS POWER XP3000 in about 2 weeks.

The car is a 2017 Hyuandi Tucson I think the stock alt is 90-100amps the battery under the hood is what came from factory I think its 600-700cca and 850caSkimming back through this thread..

U need agm starting batt, u can get at advance about $150 (for my car it was $136) after online discount and they install it. big 3 and 2nd batt for ampThe car is a 2017 Hyuandi Tucson I think the stock alt is 90-100amps the battery under the hood is what came from factory I think its 600-700cca and 850ca
In my older 98 Honda CRV,I ran 2 Orileys Super Start AGM batteries in it with the Big 3 of 2ga and 2 ga supply and did just fine on a 90 amp stock alt with a Mmats D300HC @2ohm mono on a pair of HDS 310s in 4.0 @32 htz od approx. 1750 rms and it was pretty impressive,and an old Crossfire TEK 100.2 @ 2ohm stereo,. I did the ELD By-pass that majority of Hondas have, and I never saw below 12.6v at full tilt with my roof rippling like a water wave.I usede the same battery up front as I do in the rear. I dont mix and match batteriesThe car is a 2017 Hyuandi Tucson I think the stock alt is 90-100amps the battery under the hood is what came from factory I think its 600-700cca and 850ca
Ill deff check those out once my warranties run out.Noooo....Costco Interstate battery. Got one for my Tahoe not long ago and was 80 bucks. Much cheaper than those crappy auto parts store batteries.
Ya do it! Those auto parts stores batteries have gone up in price....it's ridiculous. Costco has a huge variety of Interstate batteries to choose from, all new and with warranty. They range from 100-280 here. Just the names on them are a big turn off, Duralast, Super start economy, etc...Ill deff check those out once my warranties run out.
