Yamaha HTR-5440 running 5.1 Sub amp is a Yung SD500-6 feeding a BTL18 in my box from my truck, 5 cubes @ 35. Trashy on movies but excellent for most of my unedited music. Nice and punchy. Slowed suffers, so I'm rebuilding once it's warmer.

You're grammar are messed up.

I literally lol'ed

This is an audio forum. Ears made this shit happen people. Embrace em.

Wire up your sub and play a 50hz tone, use your ear to find the clip point, then back it down a bit. I usually find the clip threshold and then back it down a bit more than needed to keep it nice and safe should voltage issues arise, or anything really. No tools needed.

A gain is used to match line out from the HU. Most amps I've had for example, are sensitive from 0.2v-5v (many amps have different ranges) which means, any head unit outputting at least 0.2v is enough to achieve max output. It will sound the same as a 5v preout to that amp, it's a sensitivity adjustment yo. Crossovers protect speakers from playing too high/low not necessarily where the speaker is 'heard' in the car. Adjusting frequency response not aim. Using your ears to tune it is only logical, because that's your reference under daily driving scenarios. If you need all those devices and shit to be able to know when your amp is being roasted or your speaker is dying at xmech, you need to invest a little time in learning before you accidentally blow up a couple grand. This isn't calling you dumb, it's just meant to help! I know how hearing the same thing over and over is irritating. But sometimes it's what we need to hear. At the end of the day, I wouldn't ask a question if I already knew the answer The board is here to learn not burn.

Sheesh. Making my btl and 3k look pussy.....

Several of them

Do people read anymore? Or just try to prove anyone else wrong no matter the cost? What 95Honda is saying is more copper, more power transfer. Where you cram the wire is irrelevant. So one terminal with two runs crammed or two terminals with one each. You can't even hear a hundred watt difference in 3krms

5krms with only a HO and under hood batteries? My friend is planning on getting a similar truck next winter. That's awesome news xD

Amphere Audio? The 3800.1 looks nice

Preferably <$650-750 for something I won't be replacing in a year or two, something that will last if treated properly. Something stout, can handle weather (not being beat on in weather, but handle midwest weather, freezing, hot summers). Something that i'm not scared to let loose on sometimes.2kw-4kw. I reallllllly want a 4000bd but like I need to have money at some point in the rest of my life, so that one is a no go.

Just my opinion but I wouldn't use a stetsom If it was free. I had problems with mine from day one and their service is bad!!!I would buy crescendo any day over stetsom. Dammit Used bc3500 it is. No zed, no stet, Sundown is too rich for me or I'd snatch an old 3000D.

It's only 220 on cl Dunno. Don't want to regret getting it when I'm staring at crescendos and stetsoms. Awful small for 3krms, that stetsom.... Any point to trying to find 2500 @ 4ohm? Stress on electrical saved enough to matter at all?

Zx1500.1

Awwww... Salty...

Can you strap the kickers?

Theres some Kicker 1500.1's for under three hundred and a 2500 for like 350

I was only wondering because it was still available, it's been sold lol.

Nice clear and concise. Thank you

I just assumed you were giving me shit. It's hard to tell on here sometimes.

That's some low efficiency sarcasm I sense, isn't it

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/7168-a-technical-understanding-of-polyfill/i guess it could get into the motor or something, maybe just reverse mount the sub if you're worried. You could also try fiberglass insulation stapled to the inside of the box. I know how it works, that's why I went out and bought like ten pounds of it lol.I am just unsure of the tricks of using it; I had six pounds in there (forgot how much there was at first, it was all clumped together, and i've had it sitting for a while) , and it sounded the same if not quieter, then took two pounds out and it's noticeably louder around the middle of it's bandwidth. It's hard to get an idea of how it's doing by testing it out of vehicle. My friend had a Bravada we were going to use for testing, but it just shit bricks about an hour ago, and from what he tells me, they think they locked the block up. (how the fuck?)

For comps, I'd have to lean towards efficiency. But man would I love to run a 159.9 at like, 25hz
