Posted January 25, 201213 yr I'm running my 2 12 Dcons to one ohm on a Audiopipe 15001D. Me and my friend were setting the gain up on the amp and one speaker would have a slight hum to it.. You would have to put your ear right up to it to hear it though. The other sounded fine. I'm wondering exactly what it might be. What exactly should I listen for when setting my gain?? I don't want to blow my speakers, so I'm wondering exactly what to listen for. Thanks guys!
January 25, 201213 yr If I understand you correctly, that is WAY to much power for the Dcon's.Definitely be careful with the gain. What coil config do you have?

Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about all this Where did you get the subs? If you got them from SSA which did you buy Single 4 ohm or dual 4 ohm?

January 25, 201213 yr Wire them like this and still be careful with the gain http://images.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_4ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif

What ohm load do you have them wired for?but how do you have them wired. Need pics.
January 25, 201213 yr I know you're in good hands. The person who is helping you with your install is knowledgeable. If you are looking for more output, invest in a ported box. The dcons shine in a ported enclosure.
January 25, 201213 yr Ok, its dual 4 wired to one ohm, the gain was initially tuned inaccurately the first night of installment due to time constraints and loosing day light, so the op may have been listening to this setup at a point the subs being overpowered for that night. The next day upon retuning the system utilizing a 50hz tone, I notice a slight humming noise, almost like two metals barely taping each other but will sound at

January 25, 201213 yr Bass drops. So I rewired the subs down to one ohm and attempted to retune utilizing the same method but left ipod at home so we used a young jeezy track. After that there was much better results prior to the attempt made earlier that day, but was still not "as loud" as it was the night before. The gain currently resides at about 2/5ths up. I believe this was a safe spot as it was only slightly quieter than the night before plus it wouldnt allow the user to go stupid with the volume knob as long as he adhere to my advice.

If I were the op I'd pull them out and wire to 4 ohms and go very easy with the gain. Check all wiring, is it the coil rubbing?
January 25, 201213 yr Op, you claim that the ported box was being built and was only given the sealed enclosure as temp, so I would suggest keeping the gain where it is untill you hear how it sounds once you receive your ported enclosure.
January 25, 201213 yr What about the ssf filter was it set properly?No need for ssf in a sealed enclosure
