i'm a little nit-picky....wipe away those smudges on the chromed pieces on that arc amp.

 

That's not chrome
Theyre VERY fine fins.

 

lol i did actually clean the arc amp.....sure you weren't looking at the fosgate amp??? lol i started thumping it when it wouldnt' stay on, lol i think the bass is shaking the ground lose for it lol

 

ah cool, didn't know that.

looks like chrome in the pics heh.

 

you should replace that RF with another arc amp

when i was running the RF and the Arc, the RF stood out like a sore thumb, so i opted for the 2100-xxk

 

well right now i gotta get new speakers for the rear cause i blew the audiobahns when i hooked up the fosgate amp....haha.....but yea fosgate shouldn't be so bling bling, i would like a arc amp for the rear or just speakers cause i am a definite arc audio fan now !!!! just need some shirts and hats, haha

 

College = more stereo gear ...

 

maybe you need some more edumacation.....hahaha.....

 

You guys are reminding me that I'm looking down the dark tunnel of a VERY long and late night.
But I will not sleep till it's done, because tomorrow all I have to do is hand it in, meet with a group, and take an exam, and then get ridiculously sh!tfaced afterwards.

 

lol and what are you going to do after all that partying if you find out that you failed.....dam that would really suck...........

 

It's been fixed .





Here and there we all need some more edumacation .

 

heck ya we all do, lol

ok seriously i have a question though, my flatline is louder than my jl but i can't help but think its not as loud as it should be, hang on and i'll get a diagram of how i wired it



i have it going for the mono A to the positive on one voice coil, around to the other voice coils positive, and then the negative to the negative on one voice coil then around to the other negative, did i do something wrong here?

 

no...sounds like you wired it correctly...

 

Looks good to me for a 2 ohm load from a 4 ohm DVC sub.

 

then maybe i should kick it? lol i have it turned all the way up on my cd player, gain is set at about 7/8, maybe i have the speakers turned up too loud so by the tiem they're blaring the sub can't be very loud.....hmmmmm......lol

 

How long have you had the sub? You have to give it a little time to break in.

 

i do believe today makes day 2 of having it in.....umm i forgot about the break-in thing.....well actually i just thought it was crap, more like a myth.....don't tell me i screwed it up......

 

Just play it at moderate levels for the first few days.

 

uhhhh whoopsie.....haven't exactly been too easy on it ya know....hasn't sounded like it was straining or anything ya know, just clean pure bass, so ya think after a couple more days it should technically play louder?? maybe?? lol

 

Also, your gains seem to be pretty darn high.

 

you have your gains set that high and your HU set high...yet bass is lacking?

you didn't accidentally wired it to 8 ohms did you...

 

well if i turn it down the volume of the sub basically is not even audible......so i turned the gain up to hear the sub, somethin tells me i have something wired wrong.....

 

recheck the wiring man, sounds like it's wired to 8 ohms. what are the specs of that amp? i barely have my gains 1/4 and my sub gets loud as hell. it's also dvc 4.

 

no i don't think so? i have it coming of the mono A (there is a mono B, dunno whats the diff though) and i have the positive going to one voice coil and then to the positive on the other voice coil, and same thing for the negatives, that should be 2ohms should it not be?

 

450x1 @4 ohms, 750x1 @2 ohms, & 900x1 @1 ohms

 

yeah, that should be 2 ohms. wierd...

is there a seperate sub control on that HU?

 

Try going + from the mono A and - from the Mono B

 

yea its plugged to the SW on the cd player, the boost on the cd player goes up to +15, thats where i have it, and still i have to turn the music up to the point you can hear just my music from like miles away to make the bass booooom, i dunno what i did wrong, should i try and swap it from mono A to mono B, or like take the positive from mono A and negative from mono B, or will that even work....never seen a mono block amp with connections like a 2channel amp

 

think thats the problem?? i thought about that and i was like "nah that wouldn't work cause its already 1 channel...."

 

No idea. Just throwing ideas out there. My first guess would be checking the voice coil wiring. Then the sub preout. What about the sub control on the HU?

 

arc subs have their vc's labled as "mono A" and "mono B" ?

 

i got it hooked up to the Suboutputs on the cd player, the cdplayer has the sub as loud as it'll go, and then as i said i have the wires going from the mono A to the sub to be a 2ohm setup, i wonder if one of the wires came loose when i put it in, i did feel a slight tug when i was sliding it in.....think that could cause it, like it the positives aren't connected to the other voicecoil?

 

nah man thats on the 900.1D amp, the mono amp has a mono A and a mono B for hooking up speakers.....which freakin confuses the hell out of me

 

could be. you might have one coil that's active. the other vc will 'fight' the linear movement and you will get crap output.

take a DMM and measure the resistance of the wires coming out of the box. or take the sub out and have a look.

 

i'm sorry can you say that again in english please, i don't speak freay deeky dutch, lol....

 

if you have one coil powered, the other coil will move back and forth in the magnetic field, which will create a current itself, and will act like a magnet (iirc, read this stuff long ago). so it will "fight" the movement of the entire VC/former assembly.

anyhow, just take the sub out and see if the wires are still good.

 

thats odd but makes sense, so if one of the wires came lose i could be having that problem?? but if it is connected i shouldn't have this problem, correct?? like if i have it wired to 2ohms, the other voicecoil shouldn't be fighting the assembly

 

Looks great man, good luck getting that wiring figured out..

 

Ported flatline must be a monster.

Take the sub out of the box, re-check the wires, make sure nothing came loose.

You also may just be becoming deaf after hearing it

 

Another thing, remember amps get HOT especially RF amps, please get all that wiring that is going underneath the amps out to the sides before it melts and you have a bigger headache on your hands IE power wire melting and grounding out to your amp's chassis
