*VID* 2 10" D6's in a TCAB .....finally got metered..

[Spkrman]

I was confused by the way power output was determined on the Colossus powering the Type R doing 150+ in that one video.
Don't DMM's and clamp meters both take RMS measurements of voltage and current?

if you dont have true RMS meters, no //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yea a little updated vid will be comin soon.....i decided i wasnt feedin the subs enough power so i "kicked it up a notch". To the ear its much louder, so well see what the TL thinks.

sweeeeet... haha how loud did I make that dam box? Your car sucks, it can't get "loud".

nice job dood

just think what they might do with some more power

300x2 is less than half what I use on mine D6s and M6s

yea it truly is louder......to be honest i think i will put up 142 atleast....it was honestly that big of a difference, but what do i know...TL will tell all...

yea just got in from after i turned my amp up. Those d6's move a shit load. I dunno if thats too great for it. i mean obviously they are made to move alot but i mean they move.....not bottoming out or anything but could be close. Im tempted to turn bass boost down, but then its not as loud......gimme some ideas my amp is a alpine mrd-m1005, so technically i cant blow my subs cuz they are 500rms each and that amp can only put out 1058w rms, but i hear distortion and clipping can kill subs too...lemme know what to do

set it with a DMM and leave it , unless u want melted subs

hahaha.....dammm i need to get a hold of a dmm then....so i guess its pretty pheasible to kill my subs even if my amp cannot put that much power out?

 

[kotec123 10+ year member]

i was just told that all i need to do is make sure the subs arnt distorting, and im good?? can i live by that?

 

[kotec123 10+ year member]

can my coils still fry up even if im not distorting??? please hellllp

 

[InhumanAcura 5,000+ posts]

dont let them distort and if you start smellin the coils back the volume down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the subs wont fry is your not distorting but there can be some distortion with out you being able to hear it. a DMM is only $20, buy one and do it right. if you ask people about bass boost on here, most people will tell you not to use it. i did find that when i set my gains by ear, i was pretty close to the DMM. for $20 you can find out how close you are too.

 

[kotec123 10+ year member]

yea i know bass boost is bad but i dont have a head unit with sub level stuff so i need that bass boost on my amp or else the subs barely are audible no joke

I meant, it DID get loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

One of the nastiest trunks I've seen.. and its still pretty dam loud for the equipment being used. Doesn't sound too bad either.

Some new front speaks, a real head unit (lol) and it would be a pretty sweet setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
