    So if i use the oscope to set my gains with a test tone at like idk what my bass boost is on my amp.. but ill look it up and use that frequency.. and have my head unit at +3 for subwoofer. And my bass knob maxed.. but i always leave my subwoofer level at 0. Would i ever get any clipping? And i dont use bass boost on the hu or on the amp. Would i just be over safe?... i bought the ssd15 with the cooling feature.. thats it. It is in a 2.5 cuft box tuned to 33ish hz.. am i just being to worried? Right now when i play the sub with 1300rms it gets quite warm after one song that hits hard.. this is why i wanted to try and set my gain "right".. so i dont burn it up... the port is 18.125 x 2.25 so its about 16^2in to cuft.

    Wow... lmao i thought iv read so many times like this is how to set it to its absolute maximum... how is this untrue? Because clipping really isnt that bad depending on the severity.. like i just spent 300 on a sub and 200 on an amp and if i burn either there is no way id be able to replace them. Lol but i could have sworn this was how to get the absolute most performance out of your amp... damn.. so just a dmm?...

    Well i had to form the box around ny seat of my truck... so its all weird shapes... but i have a picture of the box with all the dimensions and what not.. but i cant post on here because i dont have a computer... i use my phone... but the box would be 2.5 cuft with the port 18.125" x 2.25" tuned to 32 hz.... but would my ssd sound better in that or in the sealed box? Thats my question. Btw i want louder if possible... but still go on music... so i need my 32 hz tuning.

    I made a box and it ended up being only 3.5cuft... so i can either just seal it and the sub would fit just fine... but i would much rather ported because my experience it is much louder... but if i went ported the port would be 18.125" x 2.25" and the box would only be about 2.5 cuft... tuned around 32.. so i went through 2 sheets of mdf to look at it and say that its too small.... any suggestions? Should i just seal it and wait till i feel up to getting another sheet of mdf to make a ported? Because i have it so close to being ported... like face is cut and everything... it will be much easier to make it ported.. but idk... i need help.

    Why is it bad to have the height to width ratio larger than 1:8? I made a box that is too small.... and thats the only i really can make my box tund low enough... i fucked up and now im out 2 sheets of mdf and a lot of time and effort... damn..

    I think im going to cut up my box a little abd make a 18 1/8th" x 3" slot port. And hopefully be able to tune the box quite a bit lower! Lol its tuned around 35 or so and its too high for my taste... i believe my box has a rather flat response but i dont feel it is nearly as loud as i was hoping it to be. So im going with a bigger port tuned lower.

    I currently have a ssd15 in about a 4cuft box with an 8" sonotube port... the port i believe is causing unloading problems because it is so long it is basicaly resting o. The motor of the sub. So would one 6" pvc port be big enough? Ill flare the ends either making fiberglass flares or heating the pvc up annd forming it around a dog water bowl. But please... im getting slightly aggrivated...

    Iv planned to run my wire straight down from my battery to the frame and along the frame to the very back of my cab where i found a rubber grommet that i will put my wire through. I was so fricken excited when i found that gromet.. then i was trying to decide how to bring it to the bbattery without.hanging or getting caught on anything. The frame is perfect because it will sheild it from anything that could harm it.. im so excited when my wire comes it i dont even have to take my carpet up! Lmao its gunna take like 10 mins vs the hour or so to run it through the firewall and under all the carpet. Any reason not to do it this way?

    I currently have a stock alt thats 70amps... but im putting in a 1300rms amp and a 70rms 2channel... i was wondering if i could get a cheap alt so i wouldnt have to worry about my voltage. I have all stock electrical, and stock battery no big 3... big 3 is going to happen very soon. But after that id like to upgrade alt... how much would this cost me for a 06 tundra. V8 4.7L

    I ordered 1 guage wire that should be in friday hopefully. But how should i run such large wire? I also have a run of 8guage for my 2 channel... id like to run both of them from the battery. But i have the 1300.1mono block. I installed my volt meter today and its pretty sweet. My alt dosnt power more that 14.0 volts.. but thats fine right? Lol i have all stock electrical. My 2 channel only drops it to 13.9.... that isnt like a warning about what my mono block will do is it?
