Okay so the other day i noticed my system was not playing the same. It seems to be playing at half of its potential!

So i waited and didn't listen to it for one day.. didn't even drive the truck. I just now took it for a ride and its true... something is wrong!

I pulled into an empty parking lot and played it at full tilt with the truck running in park, i was steady at 14v.. MY system is not suppose to be steady at 14v, i hit 151.8 dBs parked and the voltage dropped to low mid 12s and it was at the same volume as it was when i hit 151.8

It seems like the subs are only getting a couple thousand watts of power.

No i am not getting use to it..

I checked all 0gauge connections and grounds going into the amp and batts and around the whole truck.

The inline fuses for the amps to batteries aren't blown, alt fuse isn't blown, no fuses are blown.

I pushed down on both of the subs and the surround is still stiff and i did not hear ANYthing.. no coil rub.. weird sound.. nothing, just silence.

The subs/coils don't and never did smell.

Whats wrong here guys? I'm starting to freak out

Grab a DMM and test the coils on the subs.

No settings have been changed.

Measure voltage at the amp terminals while playing full tilt.

So there was no real issue... we just turned the settings up (really odd.. idk why) and i'm not only just as loud.. i'm louder :)

152.6! :woot:

bass vibrations made the truck scared and it turned your gains down by itself. Duh.

going for 153.X now? :D

That's odd, well if your gain was turned down from the bass then your ssf may of done the same...

Next time, you'll know what to do !

I did not understand what happened, hope you did !!!

When you talked about settings, was is only gain settings ? So, the gain turned down under too much bass pressure ! :WTFBubble:

Damn !

Maybe the amps get rattled so hard the Gain get's turned down?

Gain was at the same.

I think....the suspension was stiff so with little gain it hit hard and tight and now the suspension is loose so it needed to be turned up?

..not realistic but only thing that comes to mind.

You ended up taking it to Air.LFTN......kinda weird but now thats it's all good there should not be problems.
