Should i max out gain? These subs should take all 650ishwatts at max gain right?Sub should be moving out more than that
Sub should be about 4" away from the back
Crutchfield says its “ preamp outputs (2-volt front, rear, and sub). I downloaded the 50hz test tone and did what you said At volume 30 and subwoofer output on max. And it started playing that plastic-y sound and changing tones so i backed off and set it thre.No.
Is that Alpine 2v or 4v max?
Turn the gain all the way down. Turn sub control to 12, 13-15 will be for wiggle room in case you need adjustability later on.
Turn deck to volume 32. Play music, turn highs off so you can focus on just the sub. Turn the gain up until sub sounds weird then back down until clean again. The gain shouldn't be more than 1/3 up with a 4v deck.
Thanks Ill look for one online.Once you get your signal chain set, from the brief look at that enclosure I got... lol... I'm pretty sure the airspace and port area/tuning can be improved upon.
A enclosure around 2ft3 tuned low 30's with proper port area ought to be a little larger imo.
Something along these lines should make a pretty big difference...
i checked all bestbuys in the area
Ok here it is...you probably have to put earphones to hear it. I played a bass heavy trap song. Nevermind the car radio dashboard loose i kept it like that because i might switch headunit out this weekend
Subs:Jlw3-12
Headunit playing at lever 23 out of 35
Amp: Power Acoustik 2500watt amp (rms acutally 600watts on dynos)
Gain: on half
Sub wired to 2 omhs
Bass boost: none
Sonic filter:all the way down
No LOC
Lpf on hu: 80hz
4 gage wiring kit
I mean the sub sounds good and deep when it want but not loud. It does slightly shakes the rearview at times once volume get to 21
Just my opinion:^^Thanks fixing those problems today. I did set gain at 90% (level 30 out of 35) just didnt turn it to %90 in video. But yea im getting a 4volt headunit today and looking into another box
