Sundown turns itself off

I believe I got it, my ride home will be the final test. It hasnt cut out since I tighted the scerw on the distro block as tight as it would go...which was no easy task since it seemed to take an off size allen wrench. One was to small, the next size up was to big go figure.

What subs you pushing with it?

You'll be very happy when you get it sorted out and can turn up the gain and let that amp do it's thing...

Mag 15"

which doesnt seem nearly as loud as it should be. 4.5cubes ported at 30hz just isnt sounding right. people say it should probably seem loud compared to my comps and it just isnt.

I dont want people to hear it outside of the car but it is seriously almost inaudible outside, making me think something its not playing like it should be.

My next step is going to be bracing the box I think. Also my box was to big to fit in my trunk with the lid so I put it in without and then just screwed the lid on temporarily...and I still havent glued it.

Will gluing the lid make a diff you think? I dont want this to go off topic but Im just wonderin if I should glue it cuz if I glue it Ill have to cut the box for it to ever come out of my trunk again.

I have a bigass set of metric and standard but it was kinda dark so maybe thats why I was having a hard time.

Hopefully that solves it for you. You really have to get those connections TIGHT with this sort of current draw.

And get the top of that box sealed as I'm betting you have air leaks which can kill your output...

How about settings on HU and amp? Are they all adjusted correctly for your sub/box?
