April 11, 200817 yr I'm jealous......Thought about getting rid of these 1500D's, getting 2 3000D's and buying your SS XXX......what ya think... That MOAB is sexy though, it should do kickass this weekend. I'm pullin for ya man.. Were you ok last night? I couldn't get ahold of you, and just wanted to see if you were ok...I waited at the shop till around 9:15 or so and left since you didn't come....but I understand the Maria thing so its kewl...I see you moving up, I need to keep pace for Team Sundown Dallas!
April 11, 200817 yr I would suggest ~20 hz above tuning at low volume for an hour, turn the volume up a notch and repeat for 8 hours or so. than play some bass mechanic, than start turning the gains back up to where you would normally have them for daily and do a couple burps (with ~10 minutes in between)
April 11, 200817 yr 110acso your sugesting that i plug it into a wall socket ?for how longlol, until the circuit breaker trips. I think a wall socket is only like 3300 watts, lol
April 11, 200817 yr depending upon your subs vc configuration, the 120 wall outlet is roughly 3500wrms@ 60hz and 4 ohm (iirc, might be 65)in any case, it would work. drop sub in box, wire as you for your amp(s), plug it in and go.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 11, 200817 yr for how long ?what will final impedence be? what is the subs rms rating? 2-3 seconds tops at a time, unless it's just a beastly sub. my old id spls went for about 30 seconds free air before blowing (which is what we were after). but doing it in box will help.and take vids!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 11, 200817 yr Author i dont wanna blow it i just got it !im a lil nervious doing the wall thinggy.as for RMS rating ? unknowni know the smaller Moab in the pic will take 3k @ 0.5ohm daily in a box ported 36Hz with no problems...so im going to guess with the overkill build i asked for ? im hoping for 2x that, so im thinking 5/6k rmsi asked for quad spiders / 4k tencel leads / copper clad flat/square wound aluminum coil / Quad mag-motor / custom pole venting etc etc etc Edited April 11, 200817 yr by Lord Baccus
April 11, 200817 yr If your that scared of the wall outlet, find a Variac and hook it up through that.
April 11, 200817 yr what's the coils final impedence if paralleled? in series?wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 11, 200817 yr Author what's the coils final impedence if paralleled? in series?wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 0.5ohm dsr paralleled2.0ohm dsr series Edited April 11, 200817 yr by Lord Baccus
April 11, 200817 yr Hate to jack this thread, but can someone tell me how you go about plugging a sub into a wall outlet. I don't plan on doing it, I'm just curious.
April 11, 200817 yr Take a wire from one of the coils to one side of the wall outlet, take a wire from the other side of the coil to the other prong. You could make a extension cord with the female end snipped off hook it up that way too.
April 11, 200817 yr Author i would assume you cut an extention cord and wire it to the sub and plug it into the wall
April 11, 200817 yr Please don't wall it. Especially if you're uncomfortable with the procedure, which you admitted yourself.110v is a lot of power, and it you're not careful it could be the last burp you hear. Audio-Neon had a good recommendation on a much safer way to break the sub in.

I'm all for the wall socket...that thing's a beast, it can take it!
April 11, 200817 yr Author ill do it with a box iv got 2 days till the competition...M5/// did you hook yours up too a wall socket ?
April 11, 200817 yr I have wall-socketed one of my Diamond d1's in a .6 cubic foot sealed box before and it lived... but it was wired to 8 ohms and the voice coils were definitely glowing. Second attempt blew the speaker. I only use wall sockets on speakers I don't care about personally.
April 11, 200817 yr you should hook up a good surge protector to the wall with a kill switch on it.Run a cut extension cord from the surge protector to your sub.Make sure the surge protector is turned off when hooking everything up.When you are ready to burp, turn the switch on with something non conductive for safety reasons.Kill the switch the same way.If the sub starts to move out of control on whatever base you have it sitting on, do not move it with your body, again, use something non conductive for safety reasons.Also, voltage output is typically 120v. Maximum amperage output is typically 100A.Resistance for that is - 1.2 ohms.I do not know if anything bad happens, if after rise, resistance is below 1.2 ohms so don't question me about that.What i do know is 120v and 100A = 12,000w of power at the right resistance load.You also must understand that when hooking up a speaker to the wall, to get maximum power, hook it up to the MAIN breaker, not some small 20A breaker somewhere because that thing will trip too quick.
