Subs: 2 dual 2 12" sa's Amp: kicker 2500.1 Car: 01 monte carlo Currently I have a 3.5cu box with a slot port, both fired towards the rear. They were fired into the cabin and I got a 140.x. I was told firing them the other way (how they are now) would post better numbers. I've yet to get metered though and can't tell a difference by ear. The plan is to build a new box with a 6" aero port firing to the right with subs facing back. Can anyone chime in with a better suggestion or confirm this would post good numbers? -Thanks

Got an email from Rob. /thread

Bumping this before I go to bed.

Wanting a quote for a 2001 Monte Carlo 3.8 v6 high output alternator. Not wanting any special powder coating. I'm currently running a kicker 2500.1 amplifier if that helps any, these amps are power hungry Thanks.

slot port. 3.5cubes. 34hz

Went ahead and checked it out tonight while I have it out of the box. Neither coil is reading 2ohms now. Tested it from the posts and the main leads, still not reading 2ohms. No burns or anything, looks perfect. Wired it to 4ohms, and it's reading around 1.8 I noticed when reading one of the coils if I push the sub to the side a bit it'll jump up to 5ohms, then slowly drop down.

Alright I'll double check them tomorrow.

When I tested it yesterday it did not work at all. When you say leads are you taking about what I have circled here....

Didn't look like it was.

I took picture of it at 2.79 but it's not very steady. The amp I just got is a kicker 2500, wired to 2ohms.

Purchased two D2 SA-12's about 6 months ago or so. The guy I bought them from bought them in Jan or Feb this year (2010) and they were re-coned with aluminum coils. I've just recently got a new amp and had everything completed then one crapped out on me. One coil is reading 2ohms, the other is around 2.8 and fluctuates. I'm just really disappointed this happen as I never put too much power them then, could it just be a result of a bad recone in the past? I'd like to get this back up and running asap. Thanks for any info

Realized this should have been posted in the electrical section. I went ahead and posted there too. Sorry folks.
