New setup, doesn't sound too good *pics*

Recommended Posts

well it is good you didnt' get suckered into buying the amps also lol!! sundown ftw!

That's right, they could have at least offered me some lube before I so willingly grabbed my ankles on the box and subs. LOL

I wish I did have an o-scope Jacob, but I don't, just DMM.

i know when i need a o-scope i jsut pop donw to my local college (which has an electrical lab in it ) and ask to borrow there o-scope! itt works wonders! do you have a local college where they can help you out?

Are you a student there or do you just go down there and ask for an o-scope?

Wondering because there is a local community college very close to where I live but I'm still in High School.

both! i was in high school when i wanted to use one so i jsut walked in and ask some teacher standing around(i am surprized he didnt' just kick me out) and away we went! now i am a student there. come to think of it when i get my saz2000 i am going to be using an oscope to help set it!!

lol LMAO calm down man that box isn't that bad! hell you can probably sell it and get some of your cash back..but shipping would be a whore!

plus they did say they would work with you right! so you are set! maybe get a different sub setup! what else do they sell? for 1050 you should be able to get something that you would like!!!

It's either T3, Memphis, or Orion

I don't need anything else to sell, I've got too much to sell already. Anyone need some Fi SSD's, JL 1000/1 (brand new), RF 750S, MTX Thunder 8000's,etc.?

i know a buddy who needs some ssd's!! what is your e-mail (send it in a p/m) and how much for the RF!!

is there any way the guy wire them in series instead of parallel i think at 4 ohm that put out 600 watts and at 1 ohm it was 1200 watts for the sae 1200d is there any way to pull a speaker and look to see how it's wired ??? don't want you to do some thing your not comfortable with. plus to add it mite be the box what it tuned to?? i would tune it lower then 33 hertz some were maybe in the 25-30 range but that is personal liking. if your in series your only pushing them about 60% if that is the right number i can't remember because they don't have a listing on them. any ways if you were pushing them about 70-90 % they would reach there full potential. n-e ways that all i can think of either wiring, or box, or just bad subs.

They're wired right, meter is saying 1.2 ohms at the amp.

that's understandable then are they wired pass threw were the rca go threw the first amp then the second then the third. this and are all the gains set the same.?? if so it may play out like so the the hu put out 5 volts or some thing like it. then it goes threw the amp to the second amp and get cut in half signal strength. i think the sun down have a internal line driver but ya not sure but ya it just a suggestion. if there set the same gain settings that means less power on two amps. any ways that and i have seen amps be within a 1/16 of a turn of gain to be set for full out put. or the subs you got are just crappy they lied on the specs. btw is there any way to check each amp use your old ssd's and dis-connect the sub and run the old ssd's off one amp just to make sure each amp is working right . if so it maybe the box or the subs. any ways just thinking of every thing it could be those sun down are great amps.

Can you take one out and check? Cause you just measured DC resistance.

resistance should be the same in ac or dc shouldnt it?

DC resistance is normally lower than impedance. I think they are wired at 2 ohms.

i don't no why i was thinking dc resistance was about 2.34 ohms per coil take the number of coils and divide by 2.43 /2 = 1.17 ohms or close to 1.2 i thought it was a higher number then impedance but you are more then likely right there is only one way to tell pull one speaker and look.

Pulled one sub, it was wired right. While I was there, did some measuring...

Inside dimensions:

L= 54"

D=17.5"

H=18.5"

Total = 10.12 cf

Angle on left side = 8" x 8" = 0.34 cf

Sub dispalcement = 0.63 cf

Port dispalcement = 0.66 cf

Net box volume = 8.49 cf

that mite be the problem i read and only had luck with boxes suggest in the plus or mins 20% of factory specs and that is a little over by about the 20% plus a .25 cuft that could be what is causing it and would not rule out that is it. that box should be about 6.9 cuft plus or minus 1.38cuft some were in there but not a quarter cube over the 20 % this will effect sound output

Larger enclosures increase efficiency, that means louder.
