yeah you did IMO. you should have went with BL's or BTLs but from the sounds of it your gonna blow them no matter what. you send a dirty signel to any sub long enough your gonna blow it... lemme guess... +6 bass on your head unit bass boost on the amp all the way up..... gain all the way up...... come on. Ok my amplifiers gain is set properly, there is no bass boost on the amplifier, and my head unit's eq curve is graphed the way i like it and for your info, no I dont even use the bass boost on the headunit.... Just because my profile says noob doesnt mean a thing. I know a lot more about this stuff than most average people do. My amp is a MMATS DHCX2200.1 2300rms @1 @13.8 VOLTS. sorry I didnt take any pics or videos it really was just a couple of guys there not a real big thing........ i play my BLs hard when ever i ride.. and when i show off.. i dont shange anything... i just turn it up... its been almost a year no problems. people that own audio shops in my area say i have the loudest car thay have ever heard..... and the third loudest behind suv's of course. recone them... and lets talk about your settings.... if you dont like the way your setting sound with the Q's perhaps diffrent subs are in order. and i donno what amp your running. butmaybe a new amp.. and some self control. o yeah.. just a heads up... NEVER admit abuse then turn around and ask about your warrenty!. either way..... lets get you strighted up.... got any pics of vids of that show you went to. or your car and set up?

maybe you misunderstood me, what I meant by abusing was that I did play the subs pretty hard but they are performance subs and are made to be driven...thats why I purchased them. If I wanted little bass I would have bought something for that purpose. When I designed the system my goals were a daily groundpounder and weekend warrior package all in one....maybe I ordered the wrong subs.

Ok i have two d1 q 15 w/bp power and when I first recieved the subs, they hit extremely hard but after a couple of weeks and a local comp, the subs just dont perform like they used to. when they hit the lows now the bass kind of fades away and sounds like a fart and they dont even put out the pressure like they used to either. I've checked the box first to make sure there were no leaks and everything is fine. I think the spiders have gotten weak cause they just dont "thunder" anymore. Time for recones right?

thanks man you guys are being seriously helpful here.....excellent customer service!

Hey nick, just sent you an email about the recones, thanks.

Ok so I have to pay for recones and the subs are still under warranty? Nick I shot you an email yesterday with all the details of my purchases...Approx. 1 month old

tis teh reason why i need recones..........

yes ive emailed them directly. i was hoping that nick could at least point me in the right direction to get them but he hasnt responded since yesterday when he asked for my zip.

the enclosure is for two subs, and the amplifier has no subsonic filter.

what do i need to do to get recones?

up front: pioneer deh p7800mp amp: mmats dhcx 2200.1 two optima yellow tops 1/0 wiring big three upgrade 8.18 cuft tuned to 27hz

Also, i dont know how to do a recone. is it hard? i've never dealt with subs like these before only mainstream equipment that had to be sent in to the manufacturer. could you send me a how to email? thanks

zip is 36036......Grady, Alabama

they've been abused, I ran them at a local comp last weekend and pushed them pretty hard. zxip code is 36036.

bump///// cna anyone point me in the right direction to get recones?

ok, see if you can follow me, to create a sonic boom an object has to travel 720mph rite? A driver displaces air to make sound rite, so if I had a sub that would displace air at 720mph could I create a sonic boom in my car? Or would it create an ungodly amount of db's? Also, how loud is a sonic boom? Or is speed and sound not relative to pressure? Or would the sub make no sound at all since it would be traveling faster than the speed of sound or would it just be delayed? would the car explode? just trying to keep those good minds working. lol

What about the db drive 1000.1? Kicker kx1200.1 off of ebay used.......they usually go for around that price. crossfire vr1000d rf t10001 Stick with the quality stuff man.......im tellin you, in the end it'll pay off for the lil extra you may spend

Ok, I have a MMATS DHCx 2200.1 hooked up to 4 single voicecoil kicker comp c12's 8 ohm each for a final load of 2 ohms. The amp is a mono channel. The problem is, sometimes when I get in the car and turn the radio on the amplifier goes strait into protect. You can still hear it playing at a very low wolume ie. 2 or 3 bars on the radio but if you turn it up any louder the sound fades away and sometimes I can turn it on and it plays fine. It usually doesn't do it unless the car has been sitting for a while. When it does this, the only way I've found to get it back playing correctly is to unhook the load from the amp turn the power off and turn it back on and reconnect the load back to the amplifier. It never does it while its playing though. Sorry for the lengthy post just trying to explain the problem so maybe someone can help. what could be the problem? thanks

hey guys, anyone know how deep the slits should be cut on a mdf flare port to get it to bend? And what should I use to strenghten it back up afterwards? thanks

I've already opened the amp up and didnt see anything wrong. I touched all the internals with my finger and gave them a light wiggle to make sure nothing was loose. all seemed to be tight. I just dont understand it. i checked all the speakers with the dmm and the final load measured between 2.1-2.4 ohms?

this is the dhcx 2200.1 it is 1 ohm stable

sounds legitimate, but at which stage in the circuitry could this be happening?

i have checked all wiring several times and there were no stray wires touching anywhere. it did it again this morning when i got off work at 6:00am. i didnt unhook it this time i just turned the radio off. But when i woke up this afternoon and turned the radio on it played fine. i only have this problem when it gets cool outside but when it warms back up it plays fine?

bump-o-nomics 101

They are single 8 ohm woofers x 4 all paralleled then ran to the amp. Unless one of the speakers is shorting internally? possibly? I think they are rated @ 150 rms each 300 max and the amp puts out 1400 @ 13.8 volts @ 2 ohm. I hope its not a problem with my amp. bump?!?!
