Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 176 Registered: Jan-08 | Ok Chauncey, we can probably make a deal. I bought these subs off my friend and he doesnt know what ohm they are or if they are DVC.. Can any of you or (Chauncey) identify what these infinitys are? I know they are Kappa Perfects 12.1d 350 rms 1400 peak...But it doesnt say what ohm they are or if they are DVC... I would have to email you the pics because this host will not support 600x600 and my software wont shrink the pics... |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5424 Registered: Jul-06 | Well they are obviously DVC since there's 2 sets of terminals on them  To find out what impednace (ohms) they are take that wire off of the terminals. Set a DMM to read ohms and put the probes on the terminals.......... |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 5425 Registered: Jul-06 | Actually never mind that. If I remember correctly, those only came in 4 ohm. So the ones you have must be DVC 4 ohm. |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 180 Registered: Jan-08 | These are the older ones and they just say infinity on the front... This is how they are wired now (as I bought them)... both subs are : (-) connected to (-) (+) connected to (+) then on one side of the terminals there is another (+) and (-) running to the box terminal...Thats how both subs are... Then there is a wire on the back of the box that connects a (-) to a (+) making it where two wires, (0) and (-) are running to the amp |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 184 Registered: Jan-08 | Just got the kappas all hooked up with the new amp. 1600 brutis... it bangs a lot HARDER!!! They dont even distort with the gain all the way up... How should I set my settings tho...I know 0 Bass Boost...but everyth9ing else ??? |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13566 Registered: Jul-05 | "They dont even distort with the gain all the way up..." Dont do that.. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 186 Registered: Jan-08 | No I dont have the gain turned up all the way... I have it about 3/4 on the bass knob.. |
|
Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2437 Registered: Mar-06 | "They dont even distort with the gain all the way up..." bad " I have it about 3/4 on the bass knob.." did you set the gain with a dmm? by the way hifonics "bass knobs" are actually gain/bass boost knobs, unhook it now if you know what's good for you. I blew a sub that way on my old 1206d |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 680 Registered: Jul-07 | nick s will you listen to the people on here they will save you money time and your products 1. what size box you got for thm kappas to small could make them choke or sound different 2. how do you have these subs hooked do you have them wired down to 2ohms or are you running both subs at dual 4 ohms? 3. how did you set the gain di you use te gain set tools nd use the dmm to set it? 4. this is the best advice to you and anyone ofyour friends DONT USE BASS KNOBS they do abustley nothing unplugg them take it lay it in the middle ofyour street and run it over |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 195 Registered: Jan-08 | Ok...Well I called a customer rep from www.infinitysystems.com and he said that I need 1.75ft for each sub so I got a 3.5 ported tuned box at 35hz. 2. They are dual 4 ohm wired down to 1 ohm 3. I just used a flat head screw driver to set the gain...whats a dmm and how do you use it. 4. I will unhook the bass know tomorrow 5. Thanks.. |
|
Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 197 Registered: Jan-08 | I'm confused about the who gain thing...some say to use a dmm at 50hz and some say tune it by ear. I have always done it the way Govmint cheese has done it, by ear...but I didn't know that about the boost knob....thanks...saved me money |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 198 Registered: Jan-08 | My subs are bangin' right now tho...I just want to keep it that way |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13575 Registered: Jul-05 | "My subs are bangin' right now tho...I just want to keep it that way" yeah but at what cost??? Clipping?? http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=143 |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 200 Registered: Jan-08 | No I dont want to clip them...i am going to disconnect that knob tomorrow... |
|
Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 201 Registered: Jan-08 | Thanks Chauncey....it looks like I need to download that frequency and burn it on a cd...I don't have a volt meter tho...btw...can you get ahold of any L5 12"s chauncey?? If so, do you still want the Kappas? |

Gold Member Username: JtownTeam Revolution, Texas Post Number: 1683 Registered: Mar-07 | you can find a basic DMM(digital multimeter) at any dept store and I think even walmart for $15, ROE has free test tones that are not attentuated. when you set the gain, you need to set the DMM to measure AC voltage subwoofertools has a voltage calculator that will tell you what your desired voltage output from the amp should be. or you could follow what zac davis sugg and just set the amp the same as the preouts on the HU ie 3/4/5 volt, etc. |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 13582 Registered: Jul-05 | i cant get any L5's and u shouldnt want them..they sux...and yes i still want the kappas, just say the word and we can work something out.. |

Silver Member Username: Alpine97Paramount, California USA Post Number: 205 Registered: Jan-08 | Ok Chauncey, they are your man..this one guy wants them around here and he offered 140 for them in the sealed box....I told him they are sold though...How much are you willing to pay? Oh yeah, made a smart mover today and took back that Hifonics 1,600...got a pretty much brand new Memphis ST100D for 100 less than the Hifonics..lol...I also got two type R's in a huge ported box from the pawn shop...I dont know how big it is but I'm sure its going to bang! |
