  1. I currently have a Q12 in a 1.35 sealed enclosure powered by a Cadence TXA-1000d. It sounds really good right now, but I cant help but think this sub can handle a couple hundo more watts on a constant basis. Am I right that it can handle more or is it just wishful thinkin?

    Fi Q- WhAt ArE yOu UsInG?

    Cadence TXA-1000d. I was clipping it so bad the felt underneath melted and the dreaded tinsel slap reared its ugly, obnoxious as hell self. So, I grabbed some new felt soaked it with some spray adhesive and showed that tinsel slap whose boss! Now, its all peachy and kicks mucho a$$! I just wish I knew the true rms of the amp to set the gain to the max w/o clippin it.

    Not that Ive noticed. Does the sub start makin funky noises when that happens?

    Q gettin hot

    What about an analog one, I think I have one of those layin round somewhere. If that would work would you be so kind as to describe that procedure so I can get this set up right?

    Q gettin hot

    Thats probably what it is because, depending on the music, my voltage drops can drop considerably. I'm waiting for some extra cash to purchase a HO alt and do the big 3 which should definitely help my chituation

    Q gettin hot

    Yup thats the amp. My first one was DOA and they sent me a new one. I have the gain set at about 80% and the bass boost at abt 50% on average. Would a clipped signal cause it to get hot? The reason I ask is that my system drains the hell out of my electrical system. So, when the voltage drops, it sends a "dirty" signal, correct? If thats true, would this "dirty" signal cause the sub to get hot? I can't afford one o those and I wouldnt know anyplace that would have one to use. Any other suggestions?

    Q gettin hot

    I have a Q 12 in a sealed box powered by a Cadence TXA-1000d. I'll listen to some bass heavy music for a bit, then when I get wherever I'm going I will check the sub on occasion and the cone is pretty dam hot! what would be causing this?
  11. The amps are a Phoenix gold R8.0:4 and a Cadence TXA 1000d and it drains power really good. So, I could probably get away with the big 3 and maybe a 200 amp alt if the big 3 doesnt do it?
  12. I currently am running 2 amps, 1 for comps and 1 for sub. It totals 1300rms. So, I would need about a 130a fuse as a estimate, correct? I'm gonna upgrade the big 3 and get a HO alt. I don't really know jack about amps and all that. My question is, can somebody help me figure out what size alt to get? Would a 200a be sufficient? I drive a 97 Exploder 6cyl and I think the stock alt is 95a. Any help is greatly appreciated

    No sound from sub :(

    Yup, we just happened to have an old one that we used to sell, my boss just let me have it for free.

    No sound from sub :(

    So, I went out and tested the amp a little. I put the black one on the ground and the red on the power wires and the dial went farther left than it already is? wtf does that mean?
