yes i have a mm, and i posted some new pics in my build pics... i set the gains to my amp using the mm

ok new pics are up in the build pics link in my sig.... i was mistaken it was a kinetik hc 1800 and not a 1400

i still have the yellow top, but i took it out and put a kinetik hc 1400 in its place... the yellow top is about 5+ years old but it still works good. the pic under the hood was not my car it was a reference pic of someone elses truck... im about to go take some pics of mine really quick.

lol nice Duran i think u should say want amp you will be runnin not sub lol well i think he just wanted to be an ass, cuz i did say its being ran off of a kicker 1200.1 amp with kinetik hc 1400 battery in the back

yes i have done the big 3 in 0 ga

well the reason im wanting to get one is because although it doesnt happen alot, on some songs my battery needle moves a shit load and occasionally my jvc kw-avx810 screen will turn itself off to save power to keep the music playing... like i said it doesnt happen often, just on some songs with alot of bass. so my thinking is that although my stock alt may be enough, its barely enough most times and sometimes not enough the rest of the time. edit: im also having a crazy problem that is really rare on occasion... sometimes the unit will turn itself off completely and the only way i can turn it back on is to cut the truck off, go under the hood and pull the radio 15a fuse and put it back in. only then can i turn the damn thing back on. and im not thinking that its the jvc unit, because before this unit i had a pioneer that did the same thing. so im not sure what to make of it

Hi guys I was wondering if any of you have any tips for buying a H/O alternator? Currently I'm thinking of purchasing an Iraggi 260 amp dominator series alternator for my '03 Chevy Tahoe to power my 18" BL. The BL is being ran off of a kicker 1200.1 with kinetik hc 1400. Will the 260 amp H/O alt be enough for my BL?

^--- ditto....

yea im starting to think i shouldnt touch my box at all and that im just getting used to the bass and want more lol.... that ever happen to you? you quickly get used to it and think its not slapping anymore and then want MORE MORE MORE until you're deaf! currently im trying rear-firing the sub, when first installed it was up-firing in my 03' tahoe. i know most people say port back and sub up in suv's... but i built the box before i knew, so sub faces same direction as slot port. so im trying to see if i like it better up or rear ATM.

thanks man.... when i first mounted the woofer, i left about 5 inches from the edge incase i wanted to cut it down to the 7.7. but i was unsure if i would be losing or gaining anything. i think i will do that tomarrow. do you think corner angle braces would be needed? like these -> https://www.hardwareworld.com/Zinc-Corner-Brace-115bc-3-x-3--4-inches-pEC0UCY.aspx instead of cutting, add a board inside to change the volume, try some 2 x 4"s to lower the box volume that way your not cutting the box down then figuring out that its not what you wanted, then youd have to rebuild or put some really good bracing if you wanted to put the piece you cut off back on.... wow, i dont know why ive never thought of this, i will certainly add some more wood inside... but how should i go about it? just wood glue the pieces in? liquid nails? or screws?

Currently I'm using the 9 cube @ 32hz after displacement feeding it about 1.1kw rms and it sounds pretty good but I was wondering would I gain anything from going with a smaller box (7.7 @ 35hz~). IE: would I feel the bass a bit more? would it bit any louder? The only real thing I know about having such a huge box tuned at 32hz is the lows it will pound, other than that I'm a noob when it comes to the dif sizes... Fi GURUS, once again I need your help!

good shit, you really helped me out alot man..

thank you KU40, can you comment on my other update about setting the gains with a dmm? 34.64v would be for 1200 watts, but that i reached that with the gain turned up to 25%, now the sub doesnt slap hard anymore.sub slaps hard with bass boost all the way down and gain @ 50%. but based on the dmm way, 50% gain with my radio turned up 3/4 playing 50hz test tone is way more than the recommended 34.64v. what would happen if i turned the gain to 100% and bass boost to 100%? wouldnt that be the full output of the amp(1200w)? im not understanding how 25% gain on a 1200w x 1 @ 1 ohm amp is = to 1200w.
