so i went to spl show and wanted to see what my two sq hds200 dual 2ohm that is wired for a 2ohm load and even checked them with d.m.m and shows 2.1ohms but my mtx thunder 1501d older style no elite suppose to do 1500wrms@2ohms with 14.4volts has 2gauge welding wire and at the car audio show it only clamped 844watts. Im wondering why is this and is there something im missing here and how to fix this to get my wattage up because my spl score in my 00 s10 ext cab was only 142.3 on dash http://www.termpro.com/asp/officialevent.asp?EventID=15579&Method=1000 name is david downs i entered the hardcore truck so i could have door open driver side and then unlimited car truck 0-2500w sealed dash was 136.4db. Help me please. I have only one battery and a ad244 alternator 145amp with all manual windows/locks blah blah

so have my meter set to ohms and do a since wave of same hz? watch meter while doing this and what volume should i try this at at? and can i do it at the amp or just to the input speaker leads from subs. So just wire it back to normal for music when not doing spl tests.. wish my amp was stable for playing music wired at .5 so i could get more power to them instead of 400rms each ugh need bigger better equipment

hey by the way thank you all for responding and helping me, ive not been online few days so forgive my late response here

the mic was on dash when it did 142db and then 136db with it on dash sealed, when the clamp was done it was done using a burp at 36hz and thats what my system gets its loudest with, the guy has a tool thats used for everyone to place meter on window and ive got a meter thats been calibrated with termlab that dave proulx sells and ive tested before show and was showing same db but wanted to make sure and it was right on with termlab. I have done a ohm test with subs and it shows 2.2ohms. If i take my voltage up to around 14.9v would this maybe help and work on two new batterys and bigger amp alternator. how do i find what subs are rising too? because at rest with subs not being played for hours there at 2.2ohms wired together

so for my 2000 s10 extended cab i did tone generator today i sweeped and did one at a time on spl meter and found that 36hz is my highest spl reading and its 142.3db driver door open and other windows closed. does that even come close to what my best resonant freq is?

so i have 00 s10 ext cab xtreme and got two 10" sq hds200 d2 with ported box and mtx 1501d amp but maybe since its been a week with these subs not broke in but still yet I dont think this will be enough bass for me, So im thinking of redoing everything maybe do 2-15" hdc3 with sq 4500 amplifier with custom built box. When I do the box has anyone had experience with the best ported box design? round ports,slot and also subs up or face foward and port location. Im just want down right beat me up bass and when I turn it up I know that it will impress others for sure.

subs on certain songs not good but with a 35hz tone it did well, im surprised from entry subs

so tested the system out today and with driver door open and meter on passenger window best i did was a 141.5db so i guess for 2-10 hds200 with mtx thunder 1501d not to bad

Hello folks my name is David and im glad to be new member here. I have 00 s10 extended cab and currently bad subs now lol three yrs later 2-10" re audio sxx d2 in 3.50cubic ft box shared tuned 35hz with mtx 1501d and upgraded electrical system. well since i was low money wise do you think that the soundqubed hds200 10"s would be louder then what i had? considering amp is rated 1500rms@ 2ohms and subs was rated at 1100rms each but the soundqubed hds210 is 600rms each wouldnt it be just as loud or louder considering i would have enought power to push the subs instead of being 250-300rms short of the subs rating rms. I went ahead before this post ordered two of the sq hds210 dual 2ohm since on sale , only thing i see that bothers me is that i wish i had cash to buy hds300 and sq2200 just because the hds300 looks way beefier.. hope the hds200 will suprise me Thanks guys,girls for looking over this and let me know if u have or used hds200 and how they did

hey i wanna say nice build and i bet that hits stupid loud.. good work and box looks good

so box is port up and subs up with port almost in between from seats alignment wise , 2" wide portx13" deep and interior box space before port for two 10s is 3.14cubic ft and port isnt designed like the kerf style just a slot port double 3/4 baffle and shared chamber

So i found a nice nice shape for age mmats mpa-2300 and dont know much about it besides it works, does anyone know anything about these and if they can do 2ohms stable bridged? Im not sure if ill keep it or not what would it be good on since i think its maybe 1100rms.. Lol if I could use mtx and mmats on two 15"s be nice without negative effects

okay makes since,thanks for tip

Well I just got two 10" hds200 and using a mtx thunder1501d and I've tuned and yeh its got louder now but I'm guessing it may be high 130s touching 140db but I'd like to change to set of 12s and want them to hit hard hard and go little lower then the f/s 37 on hds200. I'd even change amp to a sq3500 or like so I could at least double my power ,just want more air and hit most notes I listen to..hip-hop and decafe stuff. I doubt I'll keep the mats since power wise isn't enough

Guys i didnt mean to get any trouble going, makes since to use same amps for subs.. Ill just do whats right and redo my stereo and match it up. Folks i cant describe how much i appreciate each and everyone of you on helping me here

well bad thing is i have a company called blu and its the studio 6.0hd and friend used his iphone6 and made huge difference and was first time seeing the front passenger side window wiper jump lol. could i have bad files ? this is getting irritating

okay instead of pieced together mess.. thanks zcon subs like you have which model you got?

would i have to clamp each amp to get almost the same output on both to get all subs too play right?

so odd question could i get two more 10s hds200 and make me a box with dual chamber between the two sets of 10s so four hds200 10''s and have my mtx 1501d on one set and then the mmats 2300 on anouther? Or would this cause issues? i wish i had money for the setup i want but if this would work that be awesome too

Weird today i was at work then came out and played korn: way to far and I tell you it hits well for 2-10s ive had these about two weeks and seem like there doing better, now i did notice huge difference in quality when friend hooked his iphone 6+ to my input that the volume could be turned up on my radio way higher and no distortion noise.. My cellphone is junk or something so what kind of device should i look into buying? Since i use the 3.5mm input most of time

oh cool so not bad amp , ive heard mmats years ago but never heard in person before. Thanks very much guys,

Ill use the new rca when i get time to put in.. I think im going to find me 2-15"s instead and one or two amps and some other stuff

thanks for being honest guys, ill mess with the subs ive got little bit until i get my new setup together and ready to build.

do you think using dd-1 meter is best bang for buck device? I see the oscope nano handhelds but idk.I had one and went bad so new one will be here monday, Im also considering a second battery if so what size should i go with considering little power that i have. I did buy brand new basshead or down4sound rca cables that i think will be nice considering rca grounds tighten down so no coming off. I have just 2gauge welding wire now and my ground on amp is not off frame just off body inside. should i do frame or body so for sure that its good strong ground. thanks guys ill take dd-1 and try to set everything i use usb,aux and of course cd with dd-1

hey folks i appreciate everyone lookin and askin questions maybe get this figured out. now does anyone use ipod or cellphone with music files to the aux input and if so is there a good way to check distortion there if its dirty input.. if using the usb songs dont sound as good and seems like bass is weaker with usb
