Question about my 2 12 inch Dcons.

[jcs921 0]

I'm running my 2 12 Dcons to one ohm on a Audiopipe 15001D. Me and my friend were setting the gain up on the amp and one speaker would have a slight hum to it.. You would have to put your ear right up to it to hear it though. The other sounded fine. I'm wondering exactly what it might be. What exactly should I listen for when setting my gain?? I don't want to blow my speakers, so I'm wondering exactly what to listen for. Thanks guys!

How much wattage you giving to the dcons?

If I understand you correctly, that is WAY to much power for the Dcon's.

Definitely be careful with the gain. What coil config do you have?

How do I check exactly? Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about all this

Where did you get the subs? If you got them from SSA which did you buy Single 4 ohm or dual 4 ohm?

Yes, got them from ssa. Dual 4 ohm

Wire them like this and still be careful with the gain http://images.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_4ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif

Yes, got them from ssa. Dual 4 ohm. What ohm load do you have them wired for?

but how do you have them wired. Need pics.

Be careful with that power on them, they don't need it.

I know you're in good hands. The person who is helping you with your install is knowledgeable. If you are looking for more output, invest in a ported box. The dcons shine in a ported enclosure.

Ok, its dual 4 wired to one ohm, the gain was initially tuned inaccurately the first night of installment due to time constraints and loosing day light, so the op may have been listening to this setup at a point the subs being overpowered for that night. The next day upon retuning the system utilizing a 50hz tone, I notice a slight humming noise, almost like two metals barely taping each other but will sound at

Exactly what he said. Lol.

Bass drops. So I rewired the subs down to one ohm and attempted to retune utilizing the same method but left ipod at home so we used a young jeezy track. After that there was much better results prior to the attempt made earlier that day, but was still not "as loud" as it was the night before. The gain currently resides at about 2/5ths up. I believe this was a safe spot as it was only slightly quieter than the night before plus it wouldnt allow the user to go stupid with the volume knob as long as he adhere to my advice.

You definitely shouldn't have them at 1 ohm on that amp unless you are very careful. If I were the op I'd pull them out and wire to 4 ohms and go very easy with the gain. Check all wiring, is it the coil rubbing?

What about the ssf filter was it set properly?

[Sencheezy 689]

Op, you claim that the ported box was being built and was only given the sealed enclosure as temp, so I would suggest keeping the gain where it is untill you hear how it sounds once you receive your ported enclosure.

No need for ssf in a sealed enclosure
