I just put a single 12" in the trunk of my IS. The problem is that the box is longer than it is deep so it can tip if i slam on the gas. what are good ways to secure the box? i don't want to bolt it down onto the trunk floor. any other ideas? i prefer a solution that allows me to move it if...

ok so everyone can take a deep breath, i messed with the gain settings, and the sub sounds very good. problem #1 - gain on LOC way too low. problem #2 - gain on amp too low problem #3 - bass equalizer setting on amp (like bass boost) too high i cranked up #1, moved #2 up a little, and turned...

like i said i'll try messing with the gain settings when i get home tonight. i had them turned down a good amount b/c i still want to be able to hear the music, and i dont like the "thudding" noise from subs. as for ported/sealed, it's too late for that. i dont have a ported enclosure and i...

all i want is when a song has a really low bass note, to be able to feel it when my sub hits. i think anyone that has ever owned a sub can understand what that means.

wow didn't realize people would be so touchy over their IDQs, but i guess it's like calling someone's kid ugly, bound to take it personally. anyway, i don't think its too much to expect to feel a little of the bass. to me, it's just a sign of hitting the lower bass notes. i dont want my car to...

it is brand new. amp is brand new also.

I just installed a 12" IDQv3 in a 1cu.ft sealed enclosure, running 500W to it off of an Alpine MRP-M500 amp. Unfortunately, i am a bit disappointed. It is def loud, and def hits clean, but the sub just does not rumble through the car (4 dr sedan). by rumble, i mean i can't really feel the...

Amp = Alpine MRP-M500 Sub = IDQ 12"

here is the update. i removed the LOC and just ran speaker wires to the amp. unfortunately the sub still did not kick. at this point im out of ideas. here is a summary: - 12.6V at the input to the amp (from battery) - 12V at remote (direct from battery connection on amp) - ground wire at amp...

what do you mean the wrong side?

what does "dmm to vac" mean?

take a look at the thread over here. i uploaded a bunch more pics, and tehy are easier to see. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3605792&posted=1#post3605792 let me know if u cant see them

so i did thsi and the amp turns on (it turned on the old way also), but still nothing out of my subwoofer. im starting to think it might be the way i spliced the audio signal or something with the LOC? i dont know how to test those two thigns though, and it's very hard to reach those wires.

ok...will try those 2 things in the morning, ill keep u all posted. for anyone that cares, the "metal latch" i refer to on the stock amp is on the right side of this picture.
