The amp doesn't "know" anything. It just reacts to what the sub gives it. A speaker is a certain ohm because of the voice coil. Every wire has a resistence, and a voice coil is just wire. So depending on how much wire is used in making the voice coil and the properties of the metal used, you get different resistances (Resistance is the direct current term, impedance is for alternating current, such as your amp puts out). That's the start of it, anyway. The box changes the final impedance, too.

As Denim pointed out, there's nothing wrong with having a low-powered amp. What kind of power do you think a 1000 watt amp is putting out when the volume knob is at 1? Maybe a watt. And the sub doesn't care. It will just play less loudly. and as John said, you'll want the D1 driver so that you can wire the coils in series for a 2 ohm load on that amp.

Good morning. If it's going to be cold, we may as well get some snow. But nooooo, forecast looks mainly sunny for the next two weeks.

No, there aren't two amps in a single case in a monoblock. There is one amp that just has two outputs. The two outputs are wired together immediately inside the heat sink. If you do two runs of 12 gauge from the amp to the box that should be sufficient. Although one run of 8 gauge would be easier to run since you'd only have one set of wires instead of two.

please write a letter or send an email guys, serious tragedy if this were passed I don't understand this thinking. All of the politicians are in such a scramble to try to fix the economy ASAP, so they are trying to pull off all of these short term deals. But why not just let time heal all things? The US is not going to collapse into a third world country, is it? Besides, the whole world is caught up in this so we wouldn't be the only one. But with all of these things they're trying to push through, won't that just artificially inflate everything, only to cause another bubble burst when it finally catches up a year or two down the road? All the money they're dumping in now is going to cause massive inflation in probably a year, maybe two. I mean, let us suffer for a little while. Won't that make us stronger in the long haul? Maybe then people will stop with the bullshit that leads to these sorts of things.

That's not what I meant. I meant take the box out of the equation, meaning taking mechanical limits imposed by the box off the table and just looking at thermal failure points.

Yes very goot!

That's not really true. If we are talking strictly thermal handling here and take the box out of it, a speaker with a 1500 watt thermal RMS rating should be able to take 1000 watts RMS for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, however long you want to play it. Thermal ratings are based on the dissapation of heat. It's like your car's engine. It may start out cold and warm up, but once it hits that temperature where the coolant equalizes with the heat produced, the engine won't warm up any more and you can drive it forever at that temp.

How do you have the output wires from the amp going to the passive crossovers? Then from the crossovers to the mids and tweeters? Also, what is the highpass crossover set at on the amplifier? Or am I missing something and you're just using the head unit to power the components? If so, then where does the EQ come into play? If you have an amp for the components, turn the head unit crossovers off and use the ones on the amp.

I'd like to start a petition to keep ohio state out of a BCS bowl game next year. Boise State should have gotten in over them this year.

Ha, well, it was on TV. You should have watched!

Anybody watching the Fiesta Bowl see the girl sitting next to Colt Mccoy's parents? I don't know if she's his sister, girlfriend, or what, but she's smokin'.

They probably eat it thinking it's regular gravel. Birds like that eat gravel to help digestion.

not always. It all depends on the amp you want to run. Just match the sub impedance to match what amp you want to have.

holy shit it works. I was for sure it would pull the cheap door frame edging off of the wall, but it held. The tricep dips allow you to go down about 2" so they aren't spectacular and you could do them for an hour. I actually like the pushup because my wrists have gotten sprained over the years and hurt when I do pushups on the floor, but holding onto these bars avoids that strain. wow. I hope it was only like 20 bucks, but it's still surprising.

I got this Iron Gym workout bar for Christmas. It apparently hooks onto the top of the door frame and you can do pullups in three variations, plus it helps hold your feet for situps, do pushups, and tricep dips. It looks fairly worthless, actually like a huge box of crap, but I'm about to put it together and try. If it falls off of the wall while I'm doing pullups I'm going to sue.

Oh no, 8am classes and school until 3!?!?! Sounds like........high school! And fridays off? Come on, that's a good schedule.

I would probably upgrade the battery to battery power wire to 1/0 gauge. The power still has to get from the alternator to the front battery then to the rear battery. You may also want to upgrade the wire from the alternator to the battery, the battery ground, and the chassis to engine block ground.

It's hard to tell size, but is that only 4 gauge wire going to the amp from the front battery? And what's with the butt connector on the other red power wire coming out? I hope your fuse is just out of sight up there, too. Also, have you tried turning your sub box around 180* so that the port is on the tailgate side instead of the seat side?

What amp did you have on it? Were you playing it basically to full potential (full excursion)? Did it make any funny noises and is the sub siezed or otherwise not working now?

I edited your title so that it made grammatical sense. What are your goals for the system? I take it BP = bandpass? What kind of frequency range would you like?

darn, work.

Was it 20 degrees down there with no heat in the house? Everybody is dressed so warmly.

So I take it roof flexing is your problem? If so I think you just need to add mass to it.

the sub will break in by itself over time. If you play it lightly it will just take longer to break in. My Mag sounded different (and better) after 1-2 weeks of playing time.
