kicker1250.1 or kicker2500.1 would be a better bet u could run the amp at half power and it wont even run a sweat or heat up the 1250.1 would be ideal to but the gain would almost have to be set to max and it best to have gain at half yout best bet is the orion2500d and 2 12" mtx9500 dual 4's now that would pound! is that 12 heavy I ordered 2 10's and it says their shipping wieght is 56 llbs each
"the 1250.1 would be ideal to but the gain would almost have to be set to max and it best to have gain at half"
thats a pretty dumb thing to say. you even know what the gain is for? you're supposed to match it with the hu preout voltage, no wonder you blow every sub you buy. please stop posting anything that has to do with setting of gains.
hahaha thats pretty funny. technical or not that don't make no sense, saying it would have to be almost at max and it's best to have it at half. wtf does that mean, please explain.
andy, you retard. all you do when you post is never help anyone. all you do is post bullshit. if you don't know how to set your own gains, then why the hell would you try to help someone else set theirs? so they can blow their subs like you do yours? so how many subs have you gone thru? and who'd i put down, you? all i said is what you posted was dumb and that it was bullshit, which it was. learn what the gain is for before you post anything that has to do with it dumba_ss. and when the hell i ever say i was black?
Andy f, what the HELL were you tlaking about up there?? The gain on your amp is to much to the Head unit. the max setting is normally around .2volts, and the min is normally around 8-10 volts. A hu has a preout voltage to it, and you match it on the gain.
lol you were in the middle of talking about gain then you are talking about his best bet is to get a 2500rms amp and 2 subs. LOL.
kicker2500.1 would be a better bet u could run the amp at half power and it wont even run a sweat or heat up the 1250.1 would be ideal to but the gain would almost have to be set to max and it best to have gain at half
The gain isn't a f*cking power or volume knob YOU DUMBAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jeez everyone on here is ga*y goto he*ll all of u dumbas*se*s this whole site is ga*y u say the wrong thing and people go balistic jeez mother of god iam done on this site chad the only good person at least he dosnt get mad at people people on here are dumb thinking they know everything!!i blew my dd cause they couldnt take the power dumbas*ses not because i clipped them to death which u guys are tryin to say idiots...
Are you looking to buy a BRAND NEW amp or would a used amp be fine? The JBL BP 1200.1 is a sweet amp it doesnt get the slightest bit of heat generated when pushing about 1100 rms at 2ohms im in love with this amp ever since i got it. You can probally find one on ebay for less then 250$ shipped... i see then every other day.
iam not clipping dumbass*es iam geting 14.4 volts steady when vehicle on and u dont need a bigger alternator its not needed my installer even said so hes ben worken with this stuff for 20years or so and he had alot of trophies on his wall i mean alot at least 50 or more 1st prizes tropies from big events like visions, a and B sound,db drag he was first in so he knows what he is talking about he said my yellowtop and stock alternator is more then enough and i believe him when iam geting 14.4 volts steady
i know u guys hate mTX i just ordered the 9500's and the shipping weight is 56 llbs per sub for a 10" if u ask me thats a pretty big sub!with my kicker they are gona do some heavy damage!
a kx 2500.1 requires ~210 amperes of current to make its power...you are telling me you had that coming out of a Yellow-top???? with a stock alt. charging it?
hmmmmm i thought the rule was one batt for every 1 thousand watts...not every 2500 watts....w/e dude...go away like you said you were going to.
Ok guy, you are lying threw your text (i didnt teeth ) lol there is no way to main tain that on the charging system you have have fun powerering them subs with that... i have a yellowtop and redtop... i cant even maintain 14.4 with stock or 200A HO alt. pushing 1500rms.. you cant bs the truth of facts :p
now i am more confused than i started, so how do i know what to turn my gain up to? and what if all you have is a factory battery and alternator? how do you know what your hu puts out to match it? yall are makin me just dumb enough to blow everything i buy......
well the manual or whateva for ur hu should tell u the preout voltage so then u hook up a DMM and turn teh gain up until u reach that voltage...or if u dont have that i was told to unhook all ur speaker so its just ur sub..turn teh gain all hte way down and then turn it up till it starts to distort..once it starts to distort turn it back down so it doesnt distort any more.
J. i too would recommend the kicker zx1000.1. i'm currently running one on an RE SX 12" and it's a beautifully sounding match-up. great amp, only gets alil warm when pushed hard, no loud fan, underrated, and solidly built.
will soon be pushing a Fi Q 15" with it (and cant f'ing wait to hear that combination), and scott stated that all Fi demo vehicles will be using kicker amps, as he stands by them as well.
richard look on subwoofertools.com on how to set your gains with a DMM becasue the way james described is wrong.
if you dont have a DMM buy one there like 20$ at homedepot.
or you could just wing it and set it to about where the imput voltage matches your headunits preout voltage. its probly 2v unless you got a premir or eclipse
hey killa i am maintaining 14.4 volts my voltmeter on my cap says so i have my car on and it reads 14.4 volts and dont try to tell me its inaccurate... its a brand new 20farad cap and dont try telling me u only have 1 optima a 20farad is good for 20000watts lol u shouldnt have that I know I know everything works great!just waiting for my 9500 mtx weighing 55 lbs a piece for a 10"
andy F you seem pretty excited about its weight, if i send you a 50 lb rock will you not post here anymore, also can you tell me exactly what a cap does cuz i dont think you know
Andy.... hahaha your a joke.. first off a 20farad cap is a waste of money and power, its putting a bigger strain on your chargging system... recommended is mayb a 1-2 farad cap.. not 20 or 25 or any of them bs ones.. do you even know what a farad is? besides that.. there is no way you could get 20000watts out of that either.. i would say about 1000rms and still n9ot keeping 14.4 voltage.. take a DMM and throw away that cap.. its usless if you have a good amp0 it has just as manby capacitors as it would need :p you cant bullsh!t people from the facts.. right guys? lol
As for the headuunit and setting gain.. look up the model number or look at the manual for its preout and how to determine how to set your HU... but there is another section to discuss tweaking its settings like the eq. bassboost and such..
Lol andy, your saying that your sub is 50lbs. haha. Mtx is so fake, they put whatever they can on a sub to make it heavier. You can look at some treo subs, and see that they have bigger magnets and/motors than the 9500s, but theyre total weight is like 30 - 35 lbs, compared to mtxs 50lb subs. Half the weight of an mtx is the basket.
ya fu*ck u all u pieces of shi*t i just got my sub in today there freqin huge ill even show u to proove it dumb retards all u guys like is the private no name brands like soundslpinter,FI-Q,BTL,Ascanet audio all are no name brands u bunch of dumb motherfuc*kers!!!! i tried lifting my sub and couldnt lift it its so heavy it dosnt fit in a normal box thats forsure so f*uck u all except chad lee hes the only one that dosnt talk sh*it about people hed prob like the 9500's iam gona laugh and make fun of u people when there hooked up you can try to say s*hit all u want just because u wana suport nate tryin to tell me i need a bigger alternator f*uck that shi*t u guys just dont know anything idiots!!!!!Those DD blow because they couldnt handle the power simple as that dumbass*es the 2500's go loud but suck for powerhandling
"i tried lifting my sub and couldnt lift it its so heavy"
what a puss_y
"Those DD blow because they couldnt handle the power simple as that dumbass*es the 2500's go loud but suck for powerhandling"
damn you have to be the dumbest person in the world! i thought you were leaving this forum? i kinda hope you don't cause whenever i see you post somewhere i go right to it cause i know i'll have a good laugh.
i think everyone here should just chip in and we could start a poll to see when andy blows these subs.
yes andy you are the dumbest person in the world, literally, i dont think i no anyone as stupid, your like a person with down syndrome that got ahold of a keyboard, you said they weighed 55 lbs and you couldnt lift them OMG you better hit the weight room you puss as for the DD's not handling the power, any competent person could hook up 2 2500s and run them with 2500 watts, this obviously means your incompetent and you should get out of car audio before you destroy any more subs
All i have to say is Andy, please do not post your advice until you get a system running correctly... GAIN is not a power level, turn the bass boost down if anything.. you use the gain like a power level knob and you get a hot amp\subs or distortion.. or maybe a burned out amp\subs :p and lots of clipping.. Just dont post your advice that is going to make sombody Fux there system up... subwoofer wieght isnt nothing.. its all about the build and install and there is no way your getting a constant 14.4 at 220amps from 1 yellow top... i have a yellow top and redtop and cant even keep that on my stock alt. I pull about 110 amps and only hold a 13.8V with it running.
o ya.. and your not reading this from a sh!tty capacitor are you? i can do that too i can hold 18V on my cap!!!!! hahaha but when the multi meter is on it/..... it looks more like a lower to me.
haha this guy said buy a bowflex..... hahahahahahahahahahahaha these threads with andy always keeping me laughing, so i had to make a new one... its jsut gunna b a big joke.. haha
"just waiting for my 9500 mtx weighing 55 lbs a piece for a 10" k... that makes i dont know how many times u have said that dude. it dosent matter how much the sub weighs, thats nothing to consider really. my havoc is almost half that weight and will prolly get louder. ohh, make a viddy of the 14.4 volt thing, cause the only way stock alt and optima is keeping 14.4 is if the system is not on
thats with my car on and my sub at high volume thats from my what my caps voltage tester is reading and it also says around 80 amps or so i can take a pic of that to if u need and dont try sayin sh*it my caps not working thats bullsh*it its a new cap
^^^^^ i dont care what your cap says, your not keeping 15v with 2500 wrms and a yellow top, its just not happening, you had to have installed something wrong
well it was around 80 amps at times it went as high as 110A or high it goes so fast i cant see it change all the time but i did see it in the 100 110'sA
hahahahaha dude u just made yourself look like a fuxtard haha, and that picture dont mean anything.. i can take a picture and install my cap and make a reading of 18V if i wanted... capacitors suck, and are a waste good amps have all they need inside of them, like Havoc said make a video... cuz u already got brned up talkin your pushing 2500wrms and you really only getting readys of 110amp max? it would be sort of constant pushing 2500rms and a high amperage you would be around the 200range of amperage being pulled
