Worth It?
jcarter1885 replied to Budah93's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
The settings on the amp or h/u need to be adjusted more than likely. -

Tantric subs or SSA 4" coil subs or some SP4s -
How did you smoke the tweeter, how much power is it receiving? Any plans on the new front stage yet?
-
Nice numbers so far
-
No problem, it was only one set of wire that did it so I wouldn't worry to much.
-
I like their RCAs but don't care for the speaker wire, bad corrosion problems between jacket and copper.
-
I wouldn't run a comp set active, it can be done but it's pointless in my opinion. There are so many raw drivers out there that would suit active much better.
-
I beg to differ, how much power an amplifier puts out and how much power subs can take seems to be the name of the game. That market might not be the biggest right now but it damn sure is growing the fastest.

No bass boost at all. Find out what preout voltage your headunit is and match your amplifiers gain to that number or just keep setting it by ear the way you were. It seems like you want more from your subwoofer so your applying the bass boost, not a good idea.

Great subwoofers and I love mine, I wouldnt base my subwoofer decision off of reviews solely if any at all. Some companies have huge forum followers and some don't, that's why you see more reviews or topics on their products than others.

Very impressive, keep up the good work

What should I consider when shooting for high power?
jcarter1885 replied to ImBob's topic in General Audio
I would say upgrade battery underhood, add a battery in the trunk, do Big 3 wiring, add a volt meter to watch voltage. From there I would decide my next step depending on voltage issues. Depending on size of vehicles alternator, upgrading the alternator may be needed as well. -

Looking good, nice attention to detail under the hood. -
Destroyed...
jcarter1885 replied to tonyb121's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
If all those speakers are hooked up directly to your headunit without an amp then expect for your radio or its outputs to get destroyed too. -
looks like another chat log

Its a crosseover with a sub and a tweeter that comes prepackaged. Its a mid not a subwoofer that comes prepackaged in components. Im pretty sure he meant he didnt know what Impious was talking about and not what a component set it is since he currently has some.

Haha hilarious, OP you should stop cause your not gonna get anywhere with these guys. Since you want to keep it all Alpine then go with the Type X out of the 3 choices you have since they have some great engineers behind them. If you don't like the comps, then put them in your other car like you stated earlier.

which amp would u choose?????
jcarter1885 replied to tbear55's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Which ever one fits your budget, install needs, preferences or just flip a coin. -
Your problem sounds like something a local guy did to the SSA Icon that I sold him, he added another set of wires to the coils thinking it would help supply the sub with more power. Just use one set of 16 guage wiring per sub and see where that gets you. Hopefully its a smal issue that can be solved asap.

From the looks of it that shouldn't be hard to achieve.

Wow
