15v and clipping? That's a sound that something is very wrong... VERY wrong! Make sure u do not have the amp set as slave! Also, retrace your rca jacks! U might be using the wrong ones or somehow have them hooked up wrong. I would also suggest taking it to someone who can diagnose the install before wasting money on shipping it back to AQ.

Man, u guys gonna make me post on here while I'm on vacation? Hehe. Whoever made that comment above about AQ bass boost is wrong! The control is a GAIN control,not a bass boost control. It's simple really- a direct swap out results in better results means something with the amp settings. If the shipping box wasn't damaged, then it's most likely amp setting so here is a good set of settings to use- Set amp to Master Connect the remote GAIN controoler and turn it up ALL THE WAY. Set the gain on the amp itself ALL THE WAY DOWN Set LPF to 80-100hz Set subsonic filter to 30hz. (Set it higher if your subs start bottoming out or set it lower if ur subs have more excursion room left) Get a test tone cd in your stereo Set ALL bass and EQ settings on stereo to 0 and if your stereo allows to control output level of sub preout, set it to max. Choose a tone between 40-60 hz Turn stereo volume up 75% of the way. Play thus tone on repeat While playing at this point, slowing start increasing the gain on the amp itself until the clipping indicator goes full bright red. At this point, stop increasing gain and shut off the tone. U r done.

Ouch, that's still pretty expensive. I'm bout to leave to go on vacation as i type this but i just looked up pricing for an HC2000 and i can get one shipped for under $250. I would have gone with them before i chose powermaster but i went with them anyways. oh the site is www.caraudiodeals.com If u like purchasing through ebay stores, audiosavings sells them for $260 shipped.

How did i find SSaudio? He is an Administrator so it was pretty easy

No, the only vid he posted on our local forum at home was a 148.5. He did a 148.8 out there that night when i was still there but didnt get that one on video. I only see him like once every 3 weeks or so so there's no tellin what he has done to get that high. All i know is this- He uses multiple Batcaps in a truck, single Mach5 12" SPL that he got from Snoopdan, running the setup with 2 Sundown 3000ds strapped @1ohm and the 12 still craves more power.

I could come on here and claim 164.3 with a pair of 12s... If that's all i said, nobody would believe me either so if u wanna play foul play, I will like to add that a local friend of mine broke a 150 with a single Mach5 12" spl with a pair of sundown 3000ds strapped. His vehicle is loud as hell when he burps it that high.

what happened to the part where u hear something.... rattlling... a bunch of WOWs.... nothing... I dont believe it was conducted truthfully.

So, does your box go from wheel well to wheel well or is it the whole width of the trunk?

Go out there and re-measure. Give me the maximum height width and depth. If width changes with height, etc.... let me know everything as detailed as possible. I've had people tell me they only have so much space when they really have more. Let me know what u come up with... Also, what year make and model car is it

Hey Floridians, hehe. I'm bout to take a trip to Key West, Miami, Ft Myers and all other cities that i have to pass through. I wont be in my tC due to overweight luggage but if there's anyone out there in the Florida area that wants to give me a shout with their ride, let me know, i wouldnt mind stoppin by and sayin what's up. I'll be leavin Saturday at 12:30am and will arrive in Key west around 9pm-ish first. I will then leave key west and migrate mainly to Miami Beach goin in and out of the city throughout all next week.

are you going to widen the predrilled holes in that frame that separates the hatch from the cabin area? There are 3 predrilled holes on that frame but are only just over 1" in diameter. If you were to widen those to fit the diameter of your port, if possible, that'd be nice but then again, i cant remember fif the frame is tall enough to accommodate a 3" port or not... Also, if you are looking at the front of your car from the rear, on the right hand side after you take ALL panels out, there is a plastic filter inside of a vent behind the right fender well that may cause audible noise in the car at low volumes. Try to secure it inside of it's cage that it's in if you can hear it while playing music as that shuttering, flapping sound you may hear is what is causing it.

there other terminals in the link i showed would be the ones i'd suggest. They are only $12 and are nothing out of the ordinary.

i own Konfused so i can tell you. Konfused terminals use a furrow to wrap the wire around then screw it back into the terminal... The problem i had is when you wrap wire around the furrow then go to tighten it back into the terminal.. it's ridiculous. I actually stripped an entire battery terminal just from trying to hand tighten it back in, that's why. Good thing i ordered extra terminals though. I tossed it to the side and just got another one and it worked finally. You shouldnt have any problems with the terminal actually fitting on the battery post. I know it doesnt go all the way down on the post but once it's on there.. it's tight just like any other terminal is.

wow, i must be retarded. I just realized that u r from the 502. Did u ever come out to the meet last time? I never remember seein a 15" owner. All i remember were 12s and mostly 18s out there.

here is some info for ya. Snoopdan has 2 18" RE SXs powered by 5,000w tuned @ 32hz. He has broke a 152 on music and a 151 on country from what i've heard. It's unbearable to be in there as i have and couldnt stand it at that level. He also has over 900aH worth of batt so he can go deaf, lol This should give u a good basis as to where u are when u get it metered.

I didn't want to say yet but I guess u guys found the reason why I'm sellin my current setup

if u have a high quality alternator, you do not need a charger unless they dropped their float too low at some point in time. I know there was a law suit against Kinetik a long time ago about them lying about their 16v batts but i have never heard anything else about it... I dont even know if the court date has even started yet. I also know that more people are happy with Powermasters than Kinetik. I was honestly about to purchase Kinetik before i got my XSs just because Kinetik was cheaper. It's been a long time ago, i cant remember why but either something or a lot of things made me go with XS... Simple research would be just research different AGM companies and see what u like.

when you are in the process of selling your entire setup, even though it's too loud for anyone to enjoy and no one wants to ride with you, to replace it with triple the cone area, double the power and walled off just because you want the best for your money...

man, i know what u mean but it wont stop raining here! If it's not raining by the time i get off work, it's too cold to be out there. Friday looks like a weiner, lol. Nice and hot with no rain, i'll do it then as long as i remind myself.

if you went with Powermaster, i would suggest- 2 D2400s. 87aH per battery. I'm assuming you do not listen to music fill tilt for 30 min straight right? If it's intermittent listening levels, then these 2 batts should be fine. I think they suggest a D3100 per amp. you can definitely get those if u got the money.

Can someone please explain to me where, how and what exactly does this mean- Take for instance the XS D5100 60aH battery. SSA is the ONLY distributor, not even Powermaster has this on their site, that displays wattage under the specs of the battery. The D5100 has listed 2000w / 3000w I have "assumed" this may mean recommended amplifier power? But even if that's true, what's up with the 2000w/ 3000w? Why are there 2 wattage references for each battery?

ok, thanks. It all makes sense now, hehe. These are some very interesting subwoofers.

here is what i got- Explain to me what this means if i choose to go with 1 of these 2 designs- 13.0 cubes NET tuned to 36hz - 13.0 cubes NET tuned to 30hz -

yes, i forgot about those, add those to ur choices too
