  • This is a question we get a lot; "I just installed my car subwoofers but I'm not getting a lot of output. I see them moving but I'm not hearing too much."
    If you have two subwoofers and you're experiencing this problem chances are your subwoofers are out of phase. This is a simple wiring issue causing the subs to cancel each other out. Basically your subwoofers are working against one another.

    Alan, I agree with what you said, important when someone is new to learning something that you show them respect as we were all there once. But let’s not forget that if you are the person that is new you should show respect to those who taught you something new. For instance, let’s say you were completely new to fabrication, you learned a ton from someone else’s CZcams channel, and then started making your own videos showing the same exact thing…. but without giving a proper shout out. That wouldn’t be showing very much respect would it? I think it’s important in this small community for us to all show respect. Something for you to think about…

    🛑I had this same issue with my system, I solved it by adjusting a setting in the head unit, the 'subwoofer level' was at zero, which I thought was similar to bass boost so I didn't adjust it, but after contacting kicker because I thought it was my amp, I was told that it's not a bass boost and I should turn it up and re-adjust the amp gains and it worked flawlessly.

    How to test phase. Get a double or triple A battery, touch positive end of battery to positive of wire and negative to negative of wire. If both speakers pop out, congrats, you're in phase. If not, then your not. Dont hold it there for too long cause you could risk overheating the coil.

    hello sonic.i have a question about stiffening caps, actually I got a few. 1 how does a cap discharge power. does it only discharge what's needed or the full load of what it's rated for. 2 I have a 500 wat alpine amp but I'm still getting the whole dimming n amperage drop and I have a 4 farad sound stream. I'm aware of the rule of thumb of 1 farad per 1k wats so i was also wondering if I hooked it to my amp would I potentially damage my amp. don't kno if it makes a difference but I have my subs wired at 2ohms. thank you for your time and insight it's very much appreciated.

    But you know another thing is that he might have his woofers in a sealed box and most people don't know certain speakers do not perform well and seal boxes I always recommend ported because when you build a sealed enclosure it has to be the right size specs for that speaker and most people just buy a box and just throw some speakers in there just to have sounds and then come to you the technician and ask you why is it not right first of all you got this big ass amplifier on two 10 inch subs in a sealed box and is going to sound okay but you get used to it a lot faster and that's a lot of people problem I recommend Port it because you don't need as much power they can take the power but the sound is just more dynamic when you can move air some people just don't know what they have a lot of times and a lot of people be having good equipment but sometimes I have to be honest it'd be alot of the shops just trying to make the quick dollar instead of explaining and giving a customer what they want instead of just throwing something in their car most people will pay for what they want but you give somebody some b******* and put it in the car and then you get responses like you are receiving today and I'm not saying all shop but it's a whole lot of them this just about the dollar instead of the love other music and the installation game I never said don't make your money but if you know this speaker and this amplifier is some b******* why sell it to the customer unless they say I want something cheap

Very nice stuff but to be honest with you😬 I would have bought 2 Rockford fosgate p3d410 and a pioneer GM-D9701 and saved $860🤷‍♂️. The t1d210's you have are 2ohm DVC. Wired parallel you going to get .5 ohm load off amp. Your amp isn't rated for a .5 ohm load. You should have bought 2 Rockford fosgate t1d410's. Wired in parallel to get 1ohm from amp. 1600rms@1ohm is what I seen rated for your amp. You should be wired in series with your current subs. Bad part! You only going to get 700rms @ 4ohm from your amp. That's why its important to correctly match amp and subs. So you don't waste money on expensive amps and subs that you can't use to their full potential. I'll leave a separate comment about your radio 👍

      @@_bauer Ok, your stock radio is probably holding you back. Idk anything about a stock 2020 Honda accord radio but a aftermarket radio would better. I'd recommend a pioneer double din. One that has (NETWORK MODE) and Navigation and steering wheel control capabilities.
      (LOC) LINE OUTPUT CONVERTER I'm guessing. Again, dont know much about them. I've never used one because I always use aftermarket radio with amplifier and subs.
      As far as hardly any sound from your system. It could be a number of things. I would make sure that your wired correctly first. You may have mixed some speaker positive and negative terminals the wrong way by accident. I do it sometimes. I would go to a shop and ask them what they think. I'd recommend selling your amp or subs to get the the proper amplifier/subwoofer combination. Your probably better off selling the speakers. If your going to have 2 DVC subwoofers. It's best to go with 2 4ohm DVC subwoofers if your amp lowest impedance load is 1ohm. If your going to use 1 2ohm DVC subwoofer. Then get a 2ohm subwoofer DVC and wire in parallel to a 1 ohm load

If you have a trunk instead of a hatchback style car. A sealed box is probably best for a trunk. Ported is usually for open cabin spaces. Like the back of a SUV or hatchback car. Did you buy a proper size box for your subwoofers? If you dont have the proper air space for your subwoofers. That can affect the amount of sound you get out of them.

    • @realkbc1
      @realkbc1 Před 6 lety +1

      Believe it or not the sub phase can be out of sequence of the rest of you stereo system. Meaning the sound takes a bit longer to catch up to the rest of the sound coming out of the other speakers, so you flip the switch in order to work in sequence with the rest of the system. Almost as if you reverse polarity for the speakers. This is beneficial when using multiple amps and different speakers firing in different directions. You can play with the phase switch on each amp to achieve the best sound from the stereo system.

But the manual that it came with tells me not to do any of that. If I turn it down below level 5 gain I can barely hear the subwoofer. I checked fuses, wires to the subwoofers and got 1 ohms to amplifier. Also the bass knob that it came with did absolutely nothing to help with the bass, same with the settings within my stereo that allow me to turn up the subwoofer. .5/10 if rating on a bass scale.

    My question is how to get bass where I like it. I do not like the very low deep electronic bass. I want it to sound like being in front of a live band. Like a hard-hitting PA speaker. Many years ago I had 2 EV15b in a TL606 enclosure in a large SUV. Loved the bass sound, but do not have the room for even one 15 inch speaker and also know the sound can be tuned up using the right enclosure, but not sure of where to start. I am guessing I need something tuned to about 65 - 80 instead of 35hz. I may play with the subsonic filter to limit deep bass but not sure of that approach.

    How about some love for the moderately not-so-newbie people. How do you design an efficient subwoofer enclosure with very little box rise. Sometimes just having a 2 cubic feet enclosure to a single 12 per manufacturer spec just does not cut it output wise and when you clamp test it, it rises to 4 ohms when wired to 1 ohm, sometimes higher depending on the frequency played. How are these other people building boxes with less than .5 ohms of rise, wired to 1 ohm and rising up to only 1.6 or so?

    I need help with something, I'm having a problem with when I increase my volume on my live sound system, the bass doesn't keep up, hard to explain.. I have a 18 inch sub and 1 15 inch top, a simple RadioShack pa speaker and a jbl 2269h driver in a box of course. Do you have any idea why my bass decreases a little the louder I go?

      @rmblwgn Před 4 lety

      Bro plug your phone straight into the amp with a headphone jack to RCA adapter. If it sounds fine your amp is fine . Pull your radio out and plug a new RCA into the back and run it over your seats to the trunk and see if you get Sound. no need to hide it all under the carpet yet until you verified your new cable is good. if all else fails your radio is probably fucked

      If the box has two terminal cups just get enough speaker wire so it reaches positive to positive and negative to negative on the box. Then add one positive wire and add one negative wire out of that any terminal to the amp should drop to 2ohm

    I bought 2 used subs from my friend for cheap, one Knwood and one MTX both 10 inch, and they're wired to a 2000w Pioneer amp which is overkill but it was free. I don't have the specs for the speakers and I wired them both bridged out of one channel to both subs, and I have them pretty low so I don't blow them but they sound bad. I need to know either A). What's a safe power output for the max power without blowing them, or B). How can I find their specs, they're from anywhere mid-2000's to 2010ish. Any help is appreciated!

    I have very low volumen from my subwoofer.
    I connected from the factory stereo the sound to the aftermarket amp by the rear left speaker terminals (high input connection).
    I think I have to check the polarity of that connection and benchmark the results. also after that check the polarity of the outputted signal from the amp to the subwoofer to see if I solve the issue.
    ALSO maybe I can fix it connecting both the L and R inputs because I only connected the L.
    If success I will show my results here after that.

    okay, i have been searching information from everywhere and cant find it. on my pioneer (MVH-S320BT) has weird problem, i tried to measure that "pre out" voltage from the rca cabels and on the stereo own terminal and i get only 0.020V and i have tried other multimeters so the problem is not on tools. im sure everything is right on wiring and everything "should" be unbroken. im sure i have done everything right on measuring but sill doesnt get that 0.2V reading. i hope someone can give some answer for that. and my other problem in my amp (sd1600.1d evo4 2ohm) il have measured the out put voltage from that and i get only about 14V (AC) out, thats when the volume from stereo is 3/4 and gain is almost max but when i put some bass boost i get the max voltage out, what is promised on the amp manual. so far im thinking is that stereo low out put voltage causing low out put voltage to my amp aswell? thanks for help already!
