new truck install..

[mrray13 30]

just in case u don't remember, here's the old install pics...

this is how the enclosure did sit in the truck...

where the orion 2500d sat...

and the red top with the tsunami topper on it.....

and now, the new install....in progress...lol...

the enclosure....adn the solo...how's about 250pds of box/sub combo??

installing the ma audio and setting the gains....85volts=sqrt(3600wrmsx2ohms)..it's jsut under half gain there..set at 53hz (my burping freq), i've seen spikes over 100 at lower freqs!! might need to reset them, suggestions as to what frequency i should use?

wtf am i doing???

ahhh..that's what i'm doing...lol...i'm attempting to make my truck more hatchback, suv like. hence sub up, ports firing back into that mdf wall. the ports are 2.5" wide (70in^2 of port total betwen two ports, kicker recommened tuner) adn i have about 3.5" from port to wall...

i need to get it mic'd as i know i've picked up on the lowend, but with the huge voltage drops, the ma shuts off before a full burp, so i haven't a clue if i picked any up in the upper end. but u can feel the difference down low!

one more pic.....

the new look of my red top...lol...no topper on it!!! just my knukonceptz terminals and ring terminals....i think it's a cleaner look this way...

that's it...suggestions? idea's? thought's?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Lookin good Tell us how it sounds

Quite the tank of an enclosure you've got there

Battery dead yet...lol

I got 135V out of it so 80 is childs play.

Thats a real 135V too.....you cant clip that amp

Thats a real 135V too.....you cant clip that amp

i saw as high as 115volt @ 40hz...tehn it leveled off to about 90v from about 44-48..then dropped on down to the 85 @ 52-53hz...

why in the hell would u have it up to 135?? lol...

dead battery? lol, nopw...engine running...every time....this current monster isn't draining anything..lol..

anyway, steve...yeah, it is kinda blocky..lol...but i didn't go for fancy. the wife actually likes the look...now i'm just trying to figure out how to finish it.

kevin..it sounds really good. this thing reaches down low, even with the subsonic set at around 28-30hz...xovered on the high side at about 80 or so...

teh solo x is actually a decent daily driver.

one thing i have noticed with this amp. even when pushing the solo hard for exteneded periods, it doesn't start to smell of burnt vc like it did with the orion..but i did think that being wired to 2ohm would be nicer to my truck then the .5ohm it was wired at..lol...wrong! no biggie..time for a ho alt!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I wanted to see what kinda numbers i could do

The protection on that amp is so good i almost hate it. You cant really abuse the amp at all unless you get rid of it

If you want to mod it i think i still have the diagram, you just need to clip a few resistors, very simple.

P.S

I suggest you elevate the amp with some sort of blocks so air can flow under it since the headsink is on the bottom.

The fan is also eaisly replaceable. Bro was gonna get a blue one with LED's in it a while back

teh whole mid section of the amp is open on bottom...well, about a third anyway...

i have teh terminla end sitting on the driveline hump and then about an 6" piece of mdf supporting the other end...

even just setting the gains, it got to 95* according to the amp's temp guage.

adn yeah, teh protection circuit is sensitive..lol...but that's not neccesarly a bad thing...lol..

and i wouldn't mind the diagram, not like i'm going to use it, but who knows??

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Supa_c 1]

95deg is low.

One time i went in the burb and it was at 125 something.

I'll see if if can find the diagram.

Drop the ohms on that amp and it really puts out the powah

[2kchevy 3]

that's sick

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

should be wild, get that thing to a comp asap

Sweet!

Set the gains @ the freq. your sub is @ xmax. Or better yet, use an oscope;)

send me urs?? and i set the gains at 53hz, which is where it was burping it's loudest earlier....

elias, i thought u guys said it didn't like .5nominal? that's all i can wire too, .5 or 2....i know with impedence rise, it's not staying at .5, but still....is it going to be rising higher after starting at 2ohm?

time to put the clamp meter and dmm on it...lol...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Supa_c 1]

It doesnt like .5 because its not rated for .5

If you mod it it will eaisly do .5ohms.

That amp makes its power at lower ohms/higher volts.

[Supa_c 1]

Its just that easy....

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Here we go again. . .

[mrray13 30]

ok, i cut those straight outa the board? adn that does what?

ryan, whata ya talkin 'bout?

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Supa_c 1]

Protection=

[mrray13 30]

awwwwwwwww..okeedokeee

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Supa_c 1]

sad wavey doesnt really work.

We dont just have a normal wave

[mrray13 30]

picky, picky, picky..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Supa_c 1]

* edited with the proper wave*
