CrazyKenKid replied to Puff Puff Pass !!'s topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
sundown 1500 Refurbished SAZ-1500D : dB-r Electronics, Online Store but if you wnat to buy bnib RF , although i read somewhere that RF were power hogs? -
j-roadtatts i checked out your build iwth the wire under the car! looks very clean i like it!! also i found this site with a cool calc on it but i am not 100% sure on how to use it. the calc is on the bottom can you or someone shed some light? American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits with skin depth frequencies my wire is 1/0 (woudl it matter that i have 1 run of + and - ) run is 13ft 12vdc now the load... 200amps (the alt can output) or does it mean the load as in the amp if so my saz2000-s cna pull nearly 400amps,,,
-
umm i c! good point my h/o alt is a 200amp alt! and since my wire cna support 300~ amps i should be good!! ty! problem solved that was fast!!

Setting gains with DMM

Setting gains with DMM
CrazyKenKid replied to thizzkid's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
lower is always better! and safer keep in mind your gain is set so high due to the low preout voltage forexample my gain is set about half the way up and i have a saz2000 and i have all 2krms pushing 1-15inch ns my h/u is a jvc avx88! (5v preouts) so it is a trade off high preout voltage= lower gain settings (less stress) or lower preout voltage= high gain settings overal setting to the lower voltage is what ... 20rms difference? overal the stress isn't to be worried about now if you had the gain set full out the signal COULD (most likey) be clipped send a garbage signal to your subs -

Brandon's New Box - 6th order wall with 3x 18s
CrazyKenKid replied to sundownz's topic in Sundown Audio
i like! lol! do you have an idea on the actual weight? -
NVM i am slow please refer to the next comment!

either find someone with a meter OR try one these idea's! buy a el-cheapo DB meter from radio shake (does up to like 120dbish) 1. Measure the sound level with your dB meter set for its maximum range. 2. Tape a ball of cotton over the mircophone on the meter. 3. Make the measurement again, and observe the difference in dB between the measurements. 4. Keep adding more cotton until you get a reasonable difference, such as 30 dB. 5. Your 120 dB meter now measures up to 150dB. When the meter reads 120 dB with the cotton over the microphone, it is actually in a 150dB environment. p/s that isn't a good idea but it gives you a ball park figure (i also stole that idea from a buddy) OR use this iwth a DMM (that measures mV) 186 db SPL SOUND LEVEL METER PRESSURE(50 to 186+db) - eBay (item 190376929597 end time Mar-10-10 20:32:12 PST) OR buy this http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=12888&pid=sound&cid=sound%20extras&pg=3&showall=&brandstr=&str= lol enjoy!

Issue setting gain per the sticky instructions
CrazyKenKid replied to bartwo's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
for starters set you bass on the h/u to 75%-100% (so if it goes to +10 set it to +7) then unplug the sub (both + and - ) from the amp, put the 2 terminals from the dmm into the terminals and then play the 50hz tone at 3/4 the full volume then turn up to the number you are looking for. alternatively if you still only get a max of say 12v set the gain according to your h/u preout voltage! also make sure EQ setting are on 0 aka bass boost and put the eq on flat. and sub controls are the ones you turn up! -

nice thanks guys!

I THINK I GOT AROUND 3.54CU/FT YOU THINK THAT A BIGGER BOX WILL DO BETTER JOB OR MORE DB'S 1) Stop yelling or die. 2) A larger enclosure increases efficiency, making more pressure with less power input. You also take the risk of mechanical failure. question, if larger = less power require does MORE power = less cubics? sorry if that is a dumb question if it is i WILL DIE lol
