everyone ditch at the same time? pictures up in a couple min

The bolt that goes through the ring, does it bolt the ring to bare metal? The ring ABSOLUTELY HAS TO HAVE BARE METAL TO METAL CONTACT /caps lock off You can also use your dvm to check voltage at your amp and to check if your ground lication is good. im like 98% positive its a legit ground

if everything is done right and you have the enough power, there will be some boom. and when you get the multimeter, put it in your glove box and leave it there, its what i do and say if your car wont start, you can check the battery, see if the alt is charging, etc. Its good for car audio but much more too. thats just it tho, i dont think i have enough power. i need someone to look at my car, there are so many things that a trained eye would look at and say thats your problem but i dont kno enough about it to kno take some pictures, upload them to photobucket, and post them here. i mean no offense or anything but what can you see? forget that, what specifically do you want pictures of?

What was your first need for help?? Boom is no good if it shuts off after a few minutes. when i crank the volume the amp shuts off, i dont think i have enough power, but at the same time the guy i got it from was fine so???

theres a ring on it. theres gotta be a smart way to say that but theres a ring lol

you want me to set everything to flat? there wont be any boom i'll try it, i'll try anything lol but whats my goal, what am i trying to do?

alright i might just have to buy one, it seems like such a wasted to buy one for a one time thing :/ the ground is screwed with the trunk latch

damit, the freaking audio guy did this exact thing yesterday and he did so many different things to show me that i dont remember which was which whats one of these things cost?

i dont have one? okay im deff wired for 2 ohms like the picture showed.

im almost positive there wired for 2 ohm but im gunna look anyway. okay so if i shouldnt go to a shop how am i suppose to check the ohms?

i would LOVE to meet up with someone to teach me the basics and help me get my system under control im in daytona beach, ormond, edgewater, palmcoast, port orange, new symerna. anyone in any of those areas would be amazing

if i back it down the subs go down? then i'll really have no base, i guess thats where the bigger comes in? it sounds like i either need to take it to an audio shop and let them go at it or i'd really like to meet an audio guy like yourself that lives around here that could teach me

sounds like i have lots of issues lol well i kno i have a good ground from the amp bass boost on the head unit is +6..... lol L+4 M+2 H+2 that kinda pissed me off tho, the guy that built the box i asked if he was gunna tune it and he's like oh ya we do that and i watched him pick it up, look at it and mount it to the box

okay so lets see if i got this straight i need to find a 2ohm amp, what kinda watt?? 2 channel? i have two 12's so if im right then channels dont matter, right?

alright i just text my buddy and asked him so we'll see what i dont get is, the kid who's subs these were when they were in his truck they sounded amazing, i opened the door it was so loud and now that its in my car the amp shuts off and like wtf?? whats the deal

how do i know if there dual 2's? and what kinda amp do you suggest then, size and brand please

Amp model number is P1100.2 its definetly not .5ohm stable lol after looking at that diagram i kinda think thats how he did it..... idk im gunna have to go look for myself. i shoulda payed more attension but he was talking so over my head i just blacked out lol

i'll go look for the model number right now, i have the amp he was using, i have everything he did except a different head unit.

no one ordered them? i got them from a buddy getting rid of his system. the crap part is, i dont kno enough about car audio yet to even kno what to do to fix it, i have a 1100 watt amp and 2 12's thats about all i kno lmao if i need to swap some wiring i will, if i need a bigger amp i'll get one. i just need someone to tell me whats going on

im sorry im a total newb, what do you mean by major voltage drop? the problem im having is, when i crank it up to where its a nice hum the amp lasts about 10-20 minutes and it overheats/ goes into "protection" the guy at the audio shop said i need a bigger amp

alright lets see if i can answer all of these, 1. these are the subs..... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/product-information/icon.html 2. i just had a ported box made yesterday and he said they were wired for .5 ohms, but im not exactly sure how he rewired them. Truthfullly i wanna say it was the same dam way lmao.

hey guys, i need help making the design for a optimal sealed box for my 2 12's. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/product-information/icon.html\ the problem i have is i have a rather small vehicle and the space the box has to sit in is 33" wide and 18" high but to get it in the tallest it can be is 16" if anyone could build me a diagram or point me in the right direction it would be a HUGE help. thanks in advance, zack

SSA lists 4cf. but I'd think you could be ok with as little as 3cf. I didn't know you had these installed already. do you have a pic? How does 22" deep sound? 16x33x22. I haven't quite got the details down yet, but it should end up close to 4cf. Ok, I've got a final design. 15x33x22. net vol = 3.5 cf. 3.5x14.5 slot port. Port and subs facing back. you should get about 6db more out of this box at 40hz. (than your sealed box) That is like adding 2 more subs! Duane The port is only 14.5 inches long? Could be wrong, but I believe 14.5 is the height. Not if the height is 15", that would make the port height 13.5". I think I see what he did, the 14.5 is the second port length after the turn. If that is the case the box is tuned pretty low, I'd go for a bit higher tuning, more port area, and a double baffle. You're right, I was looking at the post before that one when he said 16". Perhaps he accidentally hit 5 instead of 6? thanks for everything Duane, anything and everything you can give me will be a HUGE help. i've never built anything like this before but i have a contractor buddy that will help with the build

Duane wow that sounds great bro! how complex of a design is it tho? can a noob make it?
