Breaking in 15 BL

[LittleMatt 0]

Hey guys, my BL came in today and i hooked everything up. Im using a 4.97ft^3 box tuned at 29 hz, and also an orion xtr 1000. Everything sounds fine, i just want to make sure how to play it in order to break it in properly. I did crank it up for a few seconds to see how insane it is and my ears are still hurting, which led to a blown fuse in my distribution block, which was a 60A(please comment on that) The dust cap also gets pretty warm but not hot, im not sure if thats normal.

I will also admit that i am a complete idiot and should be shot becasue i drilled a hole through the rubber surrounding, i found out later that the holes were not lined up on the rubber surroundings which caused me to break a screw and blah blah im an idiot i know, but i did put rubber cement on the cut and it looks fine.

No need to "break it in" if you set your gains right, but it doesn't sound like you did.

My 12 Q ran fine on the amp settings i have now, would i still have to adjust to differ settings?

BTW i want to make sure i have my speaker wires hook up right:

My amp's terminals go... ++-- and if i run 4 wires from the amp to the four terminals on the speaker i should be fine right? Is there a specific way they should go?

Thanks, Matt.

not sure if that is the best idea my man... what kinna amp is it i might have missed that but readjust everything... no to coils are the same.. no two subs are the same for that matter....

by the way if your amp is bridgable it most likley your best bet to run it like that to a dual voice coil sub.... depends on how much power what ohm stabilty ur amp is.... and what your subs can be wired too

ps i hate this keyboard.... the one with the space in the middle of the damb thing

erm 1500 watts... You need a bigger fuse broha. like 150 amps or so...

what? im confused is this sub d1 or d2?

d2 your wire should be like the first diogream http://rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_w...mp;woofer_imp=3

and that would be 1000 watts at 1 ohm.. for your amp.
