  1. as a check take the sub out and touch a 9V battery to each voice coil and see if anything happens.

    if the dc voltage from the battery does not make the sub move then you must have blown something on the sub be it a lead wire or the voice coil.

    another way to check for a burnt out vc is to lightly push on the dircet center of the sub or evenly on both sides to see if you can feel any rubbing or scraping from a loose or blown vc wire as the cone and vc parts move up and down..


  2. DO IT NOW lol.

    not that i have money now but by time they come out i hope i do as i will either be really interested in a dual 1 or single 2 setup as my sundown amp does full power at 1 ohm, plus i love the ability of a sub wired in series to just slaughter the lows, atleast thats how it seemed to me as i changed from 1 ohm parallel to 4 ohm series with my clarions. 12 - 20hz was nice.


  3. if you had no noise before the new control was installed try to take it out and see if the nois goes away? if the nois goes away you have already narrowed down the problem to it being what you just installed.

    i would see if another main power wire and a different ground clear up the problem first.

    where does the majority of the nois come from? are you running a sub stage and can you hear it through there?

    or are you just running mids/highs and the noise is coming through there?


  4. there is always somwhere full of these little 16 year old "thugs" that are soo much cooler on the net.

    no matter what it is or who you are someone out there is going to bash it.

    take youtube for example it could be a video of like your family reunion someone is going to call you all soe sort of names because they are so tough.

    its like whats going on with the world today, someone wants to fight you and they end up bringing some sort of weapon and about 30 people to the fight. nobody has any respect anymore, i hate the younger generation.

    but anyways i wanna see some numbers lol.


  5. He is the words of advice i love to live by... well now since its soo true.

    Dont build a system for everyone else, Build it for yourself.

    What sounds good to you is all that matter and those other fudges dont know chit. :)


  6. So today ryan allowed me the use of his TL and holey chit i was really suprised at the results.

    well first off if you have fallowed this build at all haha, spl is not even close to written near this build.

    Box is facing the trunk for one thing, Its tuned to 29hz for another point, and finally im running clarion for subwoofers.

    Like if those factors did not kill the spl in this build lol im not sure what did?

    well i forget to get a video as my I.q. is minimal haha. but it was pretty impressive to say the least, well to me it was.

    45hz was the highest test tone i had on the cd and i managed.... drumm roll please a 139.9

    Yeah 0.1 db shy of the number i was looking for lol but still good :)

    45hz = 139.9

    44hz = 139.8 or something close to that

    but what was really impressive if i recall right was 21hz was in the 134 area.

    34hz was 136.X

    i know this is not that huge for having 2 15's in the trunk of an accord but damn man my car is made out of the worlds thinnest sheet metal haha.

    RYAN from your memory if you ever read this post try to kinda double check my numbers as i know i am a dumbass and should have taped the whole thing.

    HAHA CLARION FTQ (for the quiet lol!)


  7. since this is a forum and its not possible for us to come out and personally hear your system you should ask around here and see if there is someone close to you who possibly has the time to help you out. im sure someone thats willing to do so, if you post up your local, will come out and help you out.


  8. if you do not get any bass at all out of one subwoofer i would say that you got screwed and i would go back and bitch and complain untill they change the install around for you. go back and ask why you did not get a ported box, you asked for a ported box, WHERE THE chit IS MY PORTED BOX. thats about what i would do but since i build all my own enclosures i get pissed off at myself and try it again. you should really try making your own boxes, its good fun and is real easy to learn. you pay less, you save, and you pay less, what more could you ask for.
