Sub Box Smells

[Shogen 325]

Re-read the manual pls.. Or return your equipment... Or sell it to my neighbor, he's 5 ...

You're a reall pucking prick kid

^ apparently the forum edits foul language

My badd.. I retract that... I actually was not trying be a prick, but come on... I went as far as getting the manual and highlighting the section that you need to check... Then you got all e-gully on me... What did you expect?

if you read what i pucking said, I stated..I said that I already matched the input output voltages. And I also said that hifonics said that the real amp gain is from the control remote.

get your guido ass off of my topic if you have nothing constructive to say. Sorry mommy and daddy didn't buy my shit and have it professionally installed like yours did.

You do realize that Input voltage IS Gain..right?

I do realize that alot of people on this forum don't have a clue what they are talking about.

I don't have time to teach you about electricity and wave forms.

this will help.

Most likely because you believe the knob labeled "Boost" is your input gain... Check that out man.. I was trying to help and then you got angry for me stating the obvious

My god, can' you read?

I SAID I DON"T HAVE THE BOOST CONTROL(which hifonics says is the real gain) even hooked up to the amp.

I rest my case.

what are your settings on the amp? (i mean every knob)

What head unit are you running and what are the settings on that?

Hopefully we can figure this out

Sir (ztkraptor)

Your gain is that knob called LEVEL (which ranges from 9v to 0.2v)

Your level (gain) knob has to match the voltage of your headunits RCA.

If you have an aftermarket headunit, you will most likely have to set that to 2v or 4v depending on your headunit (some aftermarket units feature 5v RCA like my Pioneer in my signature, and some 8v).

If you have a factory headunit, you will have to set your gain according to your Line output converter (LOC).

If you are using high level input (getting signal from speakers to your amp), then your gain will most likely have to be set low since you will most likely clip the signal pretty fast (this is the worse way to send signal to an amp)

If you smell something funny/weird, is your coil getting overheated If you smell something completely disgusting (like something getting burned badly), its you clipping the signal and about to kill your sub.

Funny smell, low volume signal a notch. Burning smell, turn down the volume and most likely the bass knob.

Thanks,

the Level is set to that of the HU.

Sub is barely audible

I have no external control knob because external knobs destroy things

I can't understand how I am clipping a signal. It isn't making sense.

Sorry sir but that isn't right. External knobs don't destroy things. They can be very nice to have when used CORRECTLY. The user however is 99% of the time at fault when things are destroyed

LOL

you can mspaint all you want, you have no clue what or how an amp works its apparently clear.

[Shogen 325]

I already retracted my d1ck comment and you continue to abuse the help offered... Please follow the manual you so nicely posted.. The pictures explain alot in that manual.. The knob is only for "Boost" .... Please show me what I must've missed that states the knob is the gain adjustment??

Seeing as nothing but douche bags are on, I'll just have to wait until i get to the office tomorrow and hook up the Oscilloscope.

thanks

LOL @ this post. I was feeling bad about all the flaming you were getting but I've changed my mind. Ignorance is bliss.

[Shogen 325]

anyway, maybe your amp is foobared! ... If you can't hear it and you have the "lLevel" adjustment low and the subwoofer(I'm assuming subwoofer) is burning then the signal possibly is clipped like others have stated...

The only way this amp is clipping is if there is a voltage drop across the board when the sub hits, I don't notice it, lights don't dim and there is no distortion.

the level matches the input from the HU.

DMM method won't work correctly for some reason with this amp. So I was doing it by ear. The volume I was getting from the sub isn't enough to clip it and isn't enough to do really any damage. new sub, i'm not going to drive it hard.

As i stated before, warm is a relative term compared to the temperature outside.

the only solution is to test with my oscilloscope and also test the voltage under load.

It still doesn't explain the pine char smell i'm getting.

Seriously guy, I really don't care what is on the comment page... Posting guido this and guido does not offend me... Also I really hope your shit isn't broken and burning cuz that would suck. But honestly you need to pay attention and not harass people on forums because they struck a nerve...

I will leave that comment there for people to see.. There is no shame on my part..

learn to read peoples posts, I contacted Hifonics and they TOLD ME THAT THE LEVEL WAS NOT THE ACTUAL GAIN!!

I admire your patience Shogen.

Then they were joking with you because the level knob is the gain and the external knob is only to set the gain anywhere between the set limit by the level knob. Best way to explain that.

Thank you for clearing that up man... I've never had Hifonics, my mommy and daddy made me buy second-hand equipment which usually ended up being Kenwoods for some odd reason....

Do you mind sharing with us what exactly the level is set to? And the other settings as i asked before please? And the head-unit settings?

Maybe if you respond to people other than the "douche bags" we can get off the ugly tone of this thread
