Why did you change your setup?

I wanted to get a 150 in the cab. I should've just got a bigger amp. I tried two Sundown U 15 V2's but the box was too small. Then I took my box builder's original advice and got two 12's. I have an extra box now. It's 4.65 cubes net tuned to 35 hz. I made about a $700 mistake. I actually had to buy my 4 - 8" box back for $200. I eventually want to get two AB HD12's. I should've listened. This is the 2 - 15" box. I'm sorry that the picture is sideways.

There isn't a cure as of now.

I see. It is then an allergy one is born with so any cure would probably require a change in DNA. 139 lbs. is light. The last time I weighed that was in Jr. High.
As for feeling sorry for you, it is not that. We just want the best for people, more so if those people are in a community one is involved in. We may be perfect strangers but through our postings we see glimpses of each other's lives. That forms IMO a kind of bond that one grows fond of. So no sorry feelings here, just the hoping hard for the well being of all in here.

I think I'm losing my headunit.

Is this a reference to your noggin' or your radio?

My Kenwood headunit. One turned up bass note and she turns off. I can only play low volume. I lost my noggin a long time ago. The last time I weighed 139 was 7th grade. I was 152 in 8th grade. I was around 205 last Summer and 235 in 2019.

Have you tried to raise the volume with the amps off? I would assume bad speakers would cause this kind of issue, but you are using RCAs so that rules out that assumption. Only external culprit left would be bass vibrating a connection somewhere.

Wow. Nice build bobby. Weren't you working on some boat project few months ago? On some other network or website I guess, I saw this. The setup for the 4 small speakers is the one I'm interested in. The inputs, negative to negative, positive to positive, all parallel connections. Outputs negative and positives at each end of the speakers. Did you try this out yet or still setting things up? Making it work and seeing enough watts or electric gets to each speaker is the part. Great looking speakers. In Las Vegas, very hot time this time of the year. I know they're popular hobby goers in Las Vegas.

What is the difference in sound between the two set-ups?

Same box frequency. For the two setups. Tuning frequency. Sounds, same. If they're with specs. like box volume matching the correct cutoff frequency. At the point where the graph levels off. decibels to frequency chart. At that point. That's the tuning frequency.

decibels to frequency chart

Can you post the chart?

The screen starts to trip out and looks like a bunch of different colored lines. A while ago a car wash ripped the antenna out of my truck and now I can only bluetooth music from my phone. It did it a couple of times before the antenna mishap. The pressure might have finally got to it. I'm curious what the two 12's would do on a meter.

My 4 - 8's were wired to one ohm on a SIA3500. They were loud and low in my standard cab. They peaked @ 31 hz.

I have seen that happen. You may be able to find a replacement screen. What model is it?

No dice. Only thing that pops up is an Alpine single DIN unit.

Oops! That was my headunit in this thing.

For some reason I recall that Beetle was black. No backseat with a sub box/amprack combination in it's stead.

Here it is.

A few of them popped up in eBay. There is a used one with the box that looks mint. $112.
