    Sundown zv5 15"

    Ok thanks for the input guys I will re do my gains and go from there it has the clipping light on the bass knob and it is far from lighting up as clipped and sorry the first post was suppose to read no distortion.

    Sundown zv5 15"

    To manzkea no not really this was my first box design for it and wanted to try out a low tune and see how I liked it. It's hard to compare as I went from a 12" btl in a sunfire to a 15 in a small suv so far it has really good response to range of songs but definatly thinking of going back up to 34-35hz my last temporary sub I had in there was a 12" Rockford p3 and 500w prime and 2.35 ft3 box tuned to 35hz and loved it. And to Billy jack yes sorry forgot to add no the cone after 45 mins of playing was still cool to touch and amp was Luke warm nothing out of ordinary just had a wierd smell that I've never come across before but yes I've definatly been watching what I'm doing and when I do smell it turn my gain knob all the way down for about half hour then bring it back up for a while. I also forgot this is in a ford escape so could be more noticable for if it is the glues and oils on the cone burning off from assembly

  16. hey i have a problem that i cannot figure out my btl will run loud like it should but sometimes in mid beat it's like some one turned the dimmer switch down half way ?? i checked my preouts they range from .5 to 4.6 when bumping hard but as var as voltage being put out to the sub at full tilt it's only registering 20-26 at the most i an running a btl 12" duel 2 ohm wired to 1 ohm on a saz 2000d now should the volts match to somewheres around 44v at full tilt or i'm i doing somthing wrong while mesuring the volts for the out put i put the positive on the red and negative on the black for the speaker outputs right? could i be a loose conection in the box causing one voice coil to cut out making this affect of not as much bass ? i'm hoping it's not the amp i also checked the ohms and when there is no music playing the ohms are fine but when it starts bumping harder the ohms jump around witch i assume is normal independance rise

    not as loud as it could be ?

    but it doesn't just happen on big bass note somtime does it when there is little to no bass and lasts a bit and goes back to normal randomly and i haven't changed any settings on the deck or amp
  20. icy_chris

    not as loud as it could be ?

    voltage stays at 14.3 and on heavy bass drops to 13.2-13.0v and i checked all the wires going into the amp they are all secured tightly and clear of anything

    Ideas for new spring build

    thinking of 2 fi x's 10" on a alpine vpower 500.1 amp witch is stable at 2 ohms so it would be 2 single 4 ohm subs looking for sound quality over spl would these subs sound better than going with just 1 12" fi x ? will be in recomended sealed boxes from fi's website
