no, you said u would get me an exact one shortly...... But under $300 i believe..

 

Aight, SO DLS 8" subs for IB? DVC 4 or 2 ohm version... whats available?

 

Answer me this guys, so I took don's advice and hooked up my dvc subs series/parallel.. subs in 8ohm parallel to amp=4ohm load I'm absolutly positive thier hooked up right! So im driving home listening to the volume on 23/60 not very loud and my shi**y RF amp shuts down on me... Get home and could not even touch it b/c it was so hot! It got very warm wired 2ohm but only on hot days with not much air circulating.. Wired 4ohm to one channel it should not get that hot in a short period of time with plenty of air getting to it... What gives? I have followed every wiring tutorial there is and am sure it is wired correctly for a 4ohm load.... O well, guess i better get a monoblock huh?

 

So you have each sub wired up - to + and then the open _ and + to the amp, and same on the other sub?

You have the amp ran bridged right? How high is your gain set?

 

Gains are set pretty high b/c if there turned under 75% i cannot hear bass until my volume is way way up.. Im gonna recheck the wiring tomorrow just as a final resort I guess......... Something has to be up, it got hot before but never shut down on me, thought running 4ohm would help then it shuts down lol... 4yr old fosgate

So your saying I should have how many wires going to the amp? just to make sure of course

 

75%? wow get a new radio or amp.

 

im working on it dude! hopefully when i sell my old subs, don can hook me up with a diamond 3800.1

 

those older fosgate amps are tanks. what HU are you running?

 

Um it's a pioneer DEH P3600 or something of that nature.. pretty basic hu, 200watt sub control, etc.. paid around $200 for it couple yrs back

 

Get a new HU with a higher preamp voltage and sub level control....

 

Agreed get a new HU

 

Well I found the source of my problem guys... I decided that i would install my old alpines just to see if my amp would handle bridging those single 4ohm subs... When I removed my kickers I noticed that they were indeed wired wrong, I followed a diagram that someone had drawn up wrong like a idiot..

But it's my fault for doing it, I have never wired 2 dvc's up 4ohm before so it was an honest mistake Anyway i guess my amp was seeing 1ohm or something b/c that bit** got mad hott..

Bridged the alpines, cranked them up, and the amp barely got warm
Think im gonna sell the kickers, and save up for some diamonds or ID's.. Those kickers really don't sound much better than the alpines to me.. But they were underpowered

 

Nice now donate those alpines to me so I can do some fabricating with'em

 

fabricating........ and just what do u have in mind?

 

how much power were they seeing again? A new amp that gives them about 250-300 per sub would make them much louder.

 

Putting them in the rear deck of my alti.

 

ahhhh, I see..

Slick they only had 200 to each, yes I know they need at least 250, pref.. 300... I don't know what im gonna do yet, get rid of the alpines or the comps??

 

Get rid of both then buy a solid single sub and save up for a better amp. Subs aren't always better in pairs

 

I forgot to ask if any of you have checked out streetfire.net? There is some funny videos on there, some maxima's roasting the tires also

 

Ya plenty of vids there. Check out realmsofexcursion.com for sick audio vids.

 

Sweet thanx i will

 

It's actually www.realofexcursion.com

 

where do u find the vids at there?? can't seem to find anything

 

actually it's www.realmofexcursion.com

 

Got one of the kicker's up for auction on ebay Decided to keep the alpines until i can get something better..

While im thinking about it, this was a debate some of us had not too long ago.. Do you guys agree that say a single 12 with lots of power will play just as loud as dual 12's with decent power? Same goes for 10's etc... Most people i know swear by pairs of subs but i think that you throw plenty of power to a single sub you will get good results... Just wondering what u all thought?

 

very dependant on amp,sub, and box. but yes you can have a loud single sub setup.

 

A good quality single sub is usually better than two sub par subs with the same power.

 

my rainbows arrived

and they're the correct size...

now to install them...



the component next to the stock 6" panasonics.

 

Panasonic makes the speakers in the 6th gen?

 

yep, seems like for the 06 lineup, nissan went with another vender. iirc, the non-bose in the 04's and 05's are clarion.

 

So you're saying that your non-bose setup in the 06 is made by panasonic.

They've been using clarion for a LONG time.

 

install the rainbows...

 

Yes, put those suckers in .

 

yeah, all the speakers are from panasonic. come to think about it, the speakers in the 3rd gen were clarion as well. guess they made the switch to cut costs?

 

and yes, the rainbows will go in in due time.

finals own me
