Hey Guys iam Having problems with my SubWoofer it is wired correct 100% its a Kicker CVR12 dual voice coil, it cuts out sometimes sounds like only 1 coil is playing sometimes but both are wired 100% any ideas??

Set up:

Alpine CDA -9851
Infinity refrence Comps
Phoneix Gold Amp
infinity refrence coax
Kicker CVR 12
Phoneix gold Mono block
Stinger Distr block

 

take the sub out and see if the wires are connected securely.

 

They are connected securely

 

does it cut out during bass heavy music? or just sporadically?

 

Sporadically, its weird its hitting hitting then cuts out, sounds like 1 coil is hitting .when 100% both are wired correct, the sub hits hard and clean just cuts out.

 

what about the tinsel leads connecting the VC to the terminals? are they still good?

 

The system is pretty fresh, so everything is new.

 

pay attention to WHEN the sub cuts out. around corners or anything? also...does the amp stay on all the time? could be the amp and not the sub...but if the amp is always staying on and everything is wired correctly, then it is prolly something (tinsil leads) in the sub that are bad.

 

Ok thanks alot guys will check it out tommrow

 

Any more ideas

 

most likely its the amp cutting off.
i believe the vr handles 400rms? unless you got there newer line, what ohms does it run at?

and how much does your amp push out at what ohms?

sounds to me that the amp justs shuts off then goes on again

check your power lines too, make sure all the connections are good.

this used to happen to me when i had my cap, the power would cut off and on due to bad wiring

 

"bad" would be an understatement...

 

lol that was then.. this is now.. well there is no more now since i dont have no system

im comming over to texas to wire up that nice ARC amp for ya :smile;

 

wire it or fry it?

you're not getting within 50 feet of my arc or else i'm throwing various subs in my room at you...

 

why not im a master installer... you had to see the last setup i did..lol the guys still looking for me jk

 

I would disconnect everything, take the fuses out of the power cable, and then re- connect everything making 100% sure that everythign is wired right, take the sub back out of the box inspect it very carefully.


What size power wire are you using? How do you have the amp wired? What is the resistance of each coil and how do you have the sub wired?

 

Iam working on everything now, all the wires are connected securely, at first my remoe wasint insulated good i thought it was the problem but it appears to me that its the Sub now becuase the amp stays on during the problems the sub is having, any more ideas while iam doing this?

 

You are wrong. when i saw the pictures of your wiring Iam suprised you still have a car..

 

so problem resolved yet?

 

get your hands on another sub (from one of your friends..just test it out...if the other subs cuts out also it means on of 2 things) 1. either your sub is defective or 2. your wiring is wrong and you just blew one of your friends voicecoils..so run as fast as you can and dont forget to call the police...ok that last part was a bit drastic good luck

 

Nop gain all the way up sub is hardly hitting ... it is 100% the Subwoofer

 

Yeah, its the Sub 100%

 

Turn the system on and put a multimeter on the speaker terminals to make sure they are putting out the power when the problem occurs. That will verify if its the amp or sub.
