Lol thanks. I kinda thought something like that also but don't have time to build a ton of boxes and test that way. Was hoping someone has dealt with something similar and can point me in the right direction.

No I have not. I can't be 100% sure my boxes are tuned in the low 30's like I've been told. Had 1 built by Rick other designed by bromo. Do you think tuning lower may help? Money isn't as good as it used to be for me. I surely can get a sheet of wood but I would like to have a better idea of what I need so I can give that info to whoever I have design it

So you think I would benefit from installing this?

Is your vehicle PCM controlled?

Damn. Looking good

I was waiting on payday. Wanted to get one of these bad. Oh well glad you got rid of your gear!

I've heard nothing but good about that place. Always wanted to check it out but never seem to have the time

I now know for sure what my problem is. Re reading my own thread pointed me in the right direction. Voltage! Rear battery showed 9.80 Vdc. Put the charger on it and tested the radio and the problem was gone. Now I know what low voltage can do. I tested front battery with car off and saw about 12.6 ish ( just drove for almost an hour). I think the battery is just on its way out. Had it ~4 yrs and never charged it really. Guess a battery is cheaper than a new 80prs lol

About a month ago I had a local shop wire my car and install a set of components/head unit in my 2011 Malibu. Basically ran all wires to the back for me to put my amps and sub stage in. I installed a fosgate power 400.4 for my forgate t2 components using the passive xo. Couple different sub setups but always the same sundown saz1500. Extra kinetik hc2000 in the back. As of yesterday I'm starting to hear crackling coming from the tweets at about mid volume. Kinda strange because this morning I got in there after sitting all night and I was able to lay into it a little with no problems.. For about 2 minutes then the crackling/fuzz starts coming from the tweets again. Figured I blew my shit..it happens. Especially with all the adjusting I've been doin. Out of anger I kept turning it up and I noticed the sub doesn't get any louder either. So the components basically start crackling/muffling. More or less stop getting louder and sound like shit. But the sub is ran separate why isn't that functioning properly. Everything is fine and good till about 25 on the volume. Last night I reset all head unit audio settings and went to the amps to make sure settings were good and I'm not seeing anything out of wack. Connections as far as visible ones (all amp and battery connections) are right and secured. Where do I go from here? If I blew my components then ill deal with it but no way in hell I'm gonna just throw another set in there and ruin those too. I need to find out what's goin on. I am heavy on my volume knob at times, just not sure why the sub is acting up. Thanks and sorry for writing a damn book here lol

This issue is back. It's strange. Sub amp and bass amp both are affected. As I was driving home from work (45 mins) I was messing with it. Totally feels like a voltage problem. The weak signal plays at lower volume.. Sounds like ass but as I turn it up it almost turns into a solid hiss sound. Vocals in the music disappear as volume increases. I know last time around I found the rear battery that both amps run from was down to 10.x volts.. I threw it on the charger for maybe 20 mins and reinstalled different subs and moved all the amps. Lasted till yesterday.. Almost 2 months. I'm gonna head outside soon and check my battery again. Could that be my problem? I'm really hoping its not the deck. I believe warranty is gone since I held onto the HU for about a year before using it. I want to rule out everything else before the deck.

Spit it out lol. What one?

We live in stockton, I work in sac.. You have a shop around here?

Doubt he's close to us. No clamp meter just a DMM. Think ill check his battery voltage at different times. Try a different amp. Check the connections. Hope something shows its face so this stupid problem is out of the way.

Can we get a sneak peak at its performance?

Usually home by 5 or so. Not sure what I got goin on tomorrow. Call me up tomorrow sometime. We can swap your amp and ill look it over.

It's a small us amps 2 ch. think Merlin with the plexi bottom. Vehicle has big 3 done. 1/0 ran to the back where it's put into a power block where it's brought back down to 8 awg wire for the amp. Only amp in the vehicle. Bring it over one day when I'm off work, I got a few amps we can put in its place to test this.

One of the guys helping you here (Rick) built the one I got in the Malibu. I built all the ones for the s10.

It's gonna depend on your box man. I swear the single sa12 sounded the best. Big bad Treo ssx sounded like shit in the box I used. 15" q wasn't impressive either but I know it was the boxes I used. If I still had the truck I would do 2 12" gcons. I can help you with the box when your ready. A 15" icon would be sweet I'm sure. Never used an actual ssa sub but I want to hella bad. Let these guys throw out some ideas

I found some pics of a few different boxes I had in there Can't find any of the sa12

Yup. Glad your here. These guys know there shit. Only place I go when I have questions. I had 1 15" Fi Q in that truck and it was cramped. With the seat all the way back you lose a lot of room.

If this is my cousin 2 15's won't fit bro lol.

Nice! Thanks for the response. Never ran anything IA before but I sure would like to.

9600 @ 1 ohm. Sounds intense. Will any of these features be incorporated into the smaller amps?

That's a great idea. Will that be a pre order only option?
