    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    A good question on the RCA cables because I have changed them. Before I was using streetwires (ZN5 I think) and now I'm using kicker RCAs. In that scenario, what should the voltage look like at the amp's outputs?

    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    Orion XTRPro 10" in 1.5 ft^2 sealed (4 ohm) Polk SR 12" in 1.5 ft^2 sealed (2 ohm) Audiopulse Axis 15" in 4.5 ft^2 sealed (1 ohm)

    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    One of them was a reinstall, yes. The other two had never been in that car before.

    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    Used an iPod shuffle at full volume and it was pretty much the same. I might try some other sources once I get it set up again with the new wiring.

    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    So my engine idle voltage was hovering fine around 13.8 volts. I have some 0 gauge cable, so I'm going to reinstall all the power cable, clean off the battery terminals, etc. I also have this ground terminal on the way. I should have 0 gauge installed anyway so I figured this was the logical...

    Help picking an Amp

    I had that infinity 1600a... it was solid for sure.

    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    Why would the fuse matter unless it blows? I have 4 gauge all the way through.

    Troubleshooting: amp(s) not loud enough?

    So I'm kind of stumped. A couple weeks ago I installed my amp and subwoofer after a long hiatus. I put my Cadence amp back with my Polk SR. The amp is rated around 800w RMS at 2 ohms I believe. Long story short, I had to turn the gain up all the way for it to match my music. Actually at that...

    4 cubic feet, tuned to 22 Hz, port area >= 64in^2

    Regarding the cabin gain curve, I intend on measuring that once I find my mic/Firebox, hopefully this weekend. When I do, I'll post the graphs. It will be a frequency sweep tone (maybe I'll try pink noise too), with a plain old FFT done on the raw recorded file in MATLAB. Then possibly...

    4 cubic feet, tuned to 22 Hz, port area >= 64in^2

    I might just do that. All that would need to be done would be to cut a couple more pieces that need to be longer, and one needs to be shorter. I have extra board left anyway. IIRC, it would have been ~4.1 cubic feet after displacement, tuned at just under 23 Hz. The way it's taped up now, I...

    TC Sound Epic 8

    Hey this calculator is giving a similar response. If the specs are close to what your sub's are, then that thing can live and be happy in a real tiny box. ~0.2 cubic feet or ~5.6 liters

    TC Sound Epic 8

    Then put it in a sealed enclosure critically damped. If the T/S specs listed for that subwoofer are pretty close to your actual one, it is one of the rare cases i've seen where in a normal sized box your QTC will actually be below .5. According to this calculator, 0.21 cubic feet would do the...

    4 cubic feet, tuned to 22 Hz, port area >= 64in^2

    Original design. Calculated some of the dimensions wrong.

    4 cubic feet, tuned to 22 Hz, port area >= 64in^2

    OK. So what would the formula be from there?

    4 cubic feet, tuned to 22 Hz, port area >= 64in^2

    Two of these would do, but the company doesn't seem to make angled extensions for them, so they'd have to protrude out of the box significantly at 6 feet, but it might help for prototyping
