Posted February 11, 200916 yr I have a Memphis 16-mc2000d mojo amp.I also have a FI BTL loaded This sub is dual 2 ohm. I wired it in series so the amp sees 4 ohms.I have it in a 7.5 cube box tuned to 40HZHowever when I really get this thing kicking it sounds like it cannot handle the power.Any suggestions, I know this sub can take all that this amp can give it???
February 11, 200916 yr What size is your BTL?Why 40Hz. tuning?What does your charging system look like?
February 11, 200916 yr Is it bottoming out or does it just have a tinging sound when it plays (below xmax)?
February 11, 200916 yr thats kinda vague....what do you mean it sounds like its not handling the power? sounds like its clipping? bottoming out? the btl should be able to handle the power that amps puttin out all day...
February 11, 200916 yr BTL shouldn't have any problem with that amp they can take plenty more. Id say your clipping the amp.
February 11, 200916 yr if the BTL cant handle that amp at 4 ohms which is probably like 1000 watts you have a problem
February 11, 200916 yr I'm gonna go with you're tuned too high, and you don't have your subsonic filter set correctly.. and you're playing below tuning.Depending on what size BTL you have.. 7.5^3ft is a bit large.
February 11, 200916 yr Author IT is an 18 BTL I have 120 amp altwith memphis 1 farad cap0gauge wire and a line driverWhen I turn the vol all the way up it makes a tink sound like tink tink tinkand before i get there the sound at high power is just not right, maybe its clipping how do i take care of that?
February 11, 200916 yr Admin is there a reason you have a box tuned so high? Also that amp only does 1200wRMS @ 4 ohm, make sure you bass boost of on zero and you "gain knob" is respectable. I think you're trying to hard to get this loud and your clipping the living hell out of it.
February 11, 200916 yr Also check for air leaks. That tink tink tink sound can be indicitive of that (or clipping). Bottoming out would be a louder brap awful sound.

February 12, 200916 yr Get another battery.Lose the cap.Set your gain with a DMM.Turn up your SSF.Turn the bass boost off.Make sure the LPF/HPF are set correctly.What voltage are you seeing when playing it full volume? You are probably giving the amp such low voltage that its clipping its signal. In that case, set the gain correctly and get a battery dedicated to the amplifier.Also, 40hz isnt THAT high. Definately higher than I would like, but its not that big of a deal. How much port area is there?
February 14, 200916 yr yea, just make sure thats what its really tuned to and not just what thought to be tuned to 40hz.also, don't beat it when its down. damn, never turn your volume all the way up. human error makes bad chit happen.
February 14, 200916 yr Tuning is too highYou are playing full boogie below tuning of your enclosure and slamming the moving assembly into the basket...Retune your box, turn your subsonic filter up...Thanks!
