You wire the pot on the rca, not on the power output

Crazy ! ! !

Subs don't "come alive with x watts". You can power it with 1500w easily and get even better results than with 2200w if you optimise the box to the power you have. Not that you will actually hear the extra 700w. For starters, what are your goals ? Maybe the HDC isn't for you

At this point, chances are very slim

haha, dont get me started on you. you= ..... also acceptable is Get that sand out please, it's becoming annoying.

That means you have a very poorly built box. Most likely it will sound like pure arse sealed.

Yep 2004 Chevy Malibu walled off port up top. I fully intend for this thing to rape numbers within a month or so. Each Warden is fed by an Mmats 4000, and I may get 2 more. Sweet result for such a setup

I love patching holes

One meter shows noise, one doesn't 4.x hz from the exhaust ? I seen that too. I have no idea why. Just throwing out shit, I thought I heard. I had a feeling it was waaay off though. Anyone have an answer on this? Would it really matter since when the bass hits they both show similar results? In the end the final measurement is what counts I'm too much of a perfectionist, that's why the noise shown in the clip bothered me

its Adrian we're talking about, so yes 6 inch flared to 10 inch, need big holes for flares

Rough edges on the sub cutouts and missing the second baffle. Ran out of daylight.... Dual purpose box. Sealed for daily fun and ported for burps. Can't wait to see what 2 Polk 12's can do on 2000w

Those ports are EXPENSIVE ! The fiberglass ones I'm using are almost half the price...too bad I live so far away...

As soon as things warmed up work picked up

125dB peak just idling...I don't like this at all.... I'd keep the gun holstered a bit

With those kind of mods it's either a big rainbow or nothing painted on the car

Look for some datasheets, call a specialised component shop and tell them the specifications you need to meet. Very weird to see the power rectifiers go. Make sure your friend knows what he is getting into even though he fixed other amps for you. It's worse to screw up something even more.

Mouser, digikey... Ask them directly about what part you need. Is he replacing only what looks obviously broken ?

What kind of setup ? 24 21's ? 1 12 ?

SUPERB weather today

Worse thing for somebody who repairs amps is to work on an amp which somebody inexperienced tried to fix. You did the right thing emailing in the first place.

the driver allows you to tune lower, the box would be most important in this case. Yes, but in reference to what he's asking, it's not driver specific. yeah but you mentioned install and vehicle will determine everything which is of course false information. the box would be more important than any of those in terms of hittin lows. The enclosure is part of the install, no? nope. the enclosure is the enclosure. do you just install the box, no you design it and then build it. it would be part of an install if it was a premade box. And how is the box not part of the actual install ? Are you towing the box behind the vehicle ? You have some very skewed ideas.... so your saying nothing is specific....... everything that goes in is called an install. so it doesnt matter what sub, electrical, amp, box, tuning is all generalized by install because they are all being installed. lol Let's just design a box and don't care about the other parts involved (the install), plop in in the car and wonder why it sounds like arse... It's easy, everything that is installation related is part of it. You are starting to contradict yourself. Now you are saying that the enclosure design is specific and a couple posts before you said that the scenarion where you use it doesn't matter. Make up your mind. Look at the bolded posts again.

Actual port wall displacement is smaller with round ports compared to slot ports but it will depend on the application. Using a flared round port / aeroport is going to help decrease port air velocity, meaning you can use less port area than when using a slot port.

Mike's recommendations for his subs are spot on
