Okay i finally got my subs hooked up today(by me!). But the only thing is, when i have both of them going, it sounds like garbage. But, when i have only one going, it its really hard. Then i poped the trunk to see what was going on. Then i noticed that when one sub was commming out, the other sub was going in which sounded like garbo.
You prob have the wiring reversed on the sub that goes in and not out. I have seen it happen with EVERY sub that BB carries actually. Make sure you got the wiring exactly the same as the one that is working correctly.
yup you have a wire backwards that is reversing the polarity. Go back and inside the box make sure you didnt hook it up backwards. its an extremly easy thing to do.
O well i got two type e's in a sealed enclosure. Are you sure that's what's wrong? Cuz when i push down on one, the other one comes up. I think i built my box wrong somehow. PLus, im not going to be having these subs for that long eny weyz im upgrading to a 1dmax cuz these type e's don't hit as hard and as clear as i like.
Yes, we are sure that whats wrong. I have seen it many times. At Best Buy one day they had all of them doing that. We told them that was the problem and it was fixed the next time we stopped back.
what??? When you push down on one of the subs the other one actually moves???? First off, i must mention that if you are building a sealed enclosure it is a great ideas to seperate the enclosure into 2 halves so that one sub wont effect the other. If one of them would happen to fail on you then the other sub would see a much larger enclosure which would screw that sub up too.
ya i no. I thought i did that. I made sure that every line was completly sealed. But when i put the last face on, I wasn't sure if a air hole is present. However, i did built the box big enough to where i can port it. So i was thinking, if i ported it then the problem would be solved.
Maybe you built the box too big then. A ported enclosure is usually alot bigger then a sealed enclosure, and if you build a sealed at that size it would sound really muddy. The wiring is still reversed on that one sub, so make sure you change that.
Okay thanks well it's 1.3 cubic inches per sub so i did make it really big. And it really doesn't sound that muddy. 1.3 doesn't sound like alot but for these weak subs...it's alot. So if i ported it, would that solve the problem?
Ya the left sub had the wire backward! So i switched it around and now it sounds pretty good. The next thing i got to do is get my trunk dynamate and then replace the speakers and finally get my idmax!!!
Well i have a 2-channel mb-quart i am too lazy to look at the model #. It puts out 800 watts into 4 ohms bridge. And 400 into 2 ohms. and 200 into 4ohms.
