Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1297 Registered: Jan-06 | There is a delay in the remote turn on. if there wasn't there would be a thump/pop when it powered up. Polo.. |

Bronze Member Username: RiskybPost Number: 73 Registered: Feb-06 | Good amps have a silent turn on and take a few seconds to power up so you don't pop your sub/speakers. But if you say it wont turn on at all now... thats no good! |

Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 431 Registered: May-06 | heck yea i told ya that amp would push that sub hard i should be gettin my new L7 back tommrow or friday and cant wait |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 62 Registered: Jun-06 | yea i went there and they said the gain was f'ed up cause they tried to give it more cause the amp is 1000 watts and the sub is 1500??? its a 1000watt rms sub but they said cause its a 2 ohm ? i was confused. then some guy came out and said they had it hooked in parallel, when it should be hooked in series. is this correct for my setup or should it be in parallel. tyler whats urs set at? thanks bro |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 63 Registered: Jun-06 | i thought at parallel itd be putting 1000 watts rms @ 1 ohm?? |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 432 Registered: May-06 | i have a 2 ohm and i just hooked the wires behind the sub its mono set so i can just push the amp to a full 1100 watts man that guy dunno what hes talkin about "1500" that sub is 1000 to 2000 it reccomends throw 1000 rms into that sub weather its 2 ohm or 4 ohm |
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1307 Registered: Jan-06 | Is it a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub? |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 64 Registered: Jun-06 | yea its a dual 2ohm voice coil to a memphis pr 1000.1 mono block |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 65 Registered: Jun-06 | the guy mentioned that my amp gain was too much even tho he turned it down cause the bass shut off again. also he said it could be that my amp is mounted on the back of my seat and isnt cooling properly so i should put the seat down. lemme knowww |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 66 Registered: Jun-06 | tyler did you wire your L7 down to 1ohm load?? also i have a stock hu if that makes a diff. |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 67 Registered: Jun-06 | guy tried jump starting my sub but it would bump when he put the wires to the amp but when he let off, it did nothing. he said my wiring could be wrong or its my equipment??? |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 68 Registered: Jun-06 | ??? |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 438 Registered: May-06 | yea i got factory alternator and battery im gonna upgrade soon but yea i got my sub wired for 1 ohm and everything what gauge wire are you using? and yes keep the gain to about 75% up all the way or a lil more but adjust the amp right dont be a dumbazz like me and keep the amp turned all the way up cuz u will melt a voice coil with that amp in 30 min lol |
Bronze Member Username: Nickyp0219Post Number: 69 Registered: Jun-06 | im using 4 gauge wiring. |
Silver Member Username: Big_fletchNewport, Ar, Ar United states Post Number: 439 Registered: May-06 | is it loud enough for you? i should be gettin my new L7 in today and i know there loud in escalades but i dunno about eclipse what kinda box do you have? u go ported? |
