Will I need to upgrade electrical if...

[eskimochaos 10+ year member]

Hey guys. You were a tremendous help with my last build and as you guys said I dont have enough bass. I have one m850 800rms pushing 2 12" type r's and its not loud enough for me after adjusting to the new setup.

I have a PDX5 for the highs and one m850 for the 2 12" type r's

My car has a stock 130amp alt on it..will I need to upgrade it if I get another m850? I have no interest...i am getting no dimming now.

I have a distro w/ 0 ga knu wiring and 4 gauge for each of the amps now...can i get another distro and split the one running to the m850 so 4ga in 4ga out...basically can you split a wire that has already been split?

Thanks

is 800rms to 12" type r too much/too little..will they like it...thanks again for all your help guys!

O yea, the birthsheet on my pdx is 101x4

my components up front JL vr600csi say they can only handle 60rms but on the box the recommended rms amp is 75-100 can I turn the gain all the way up?

my coaxials in the back are jltr600...they say they can only handle 60rms...box recommends 50-75wrms...how far can I push em.....

my main concern is I constantly find myself listening to near MAX volume...is that normal or do you guys go "deaf" at lower volume levels?

Thanks

don't ever turn the gain "all the way up"
and near max volume is stupid.

when I want to go deaf, I turn it up to 58 or 60 of 63

can I please just get an answer...usually its 25ish our of like 32 on my ddx712.....it gets exponentially louder as you get above 20

thanks guys!

also i understand that was sarcasm. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

really the only time I enjoy turning it up that far is when I am on the highway. 52-58 makes wind noise obsolete:eyebrow://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

if it gets exponentially louder, it is likely that beyond 20 you are clipping the hu

 

[eskimochaos 10+ year member]

no im not clipping the HU....its electrical volume control....its the same way on my htr receiver.....you wont hear increases in volume unless each subsequent increase is more than the last one at certain volumes...you should know this...to increase output by db by 3 you need to double the watts

upgrade everything.

mine is by no means exponential.....gets about the same jump every time in level/volume number

maybe i over-stated....

please someone answer the question...

I have never been to a blog/forum that is filled with such a$$holes as this one
