Bronze Member Username: Lance86Winnemucca , Nevada Us Post Number: 12 Registered: Aug-08 | I have a pioneer premier 3001d2. Its being powered by a hifonics brutis 1610 amp wired @ 1ohm. I just built a box for it. It was 1.35 cubes, and the sub displacement was .181 so its about right on for the recomended portedbox. oh and the port is 3"x 3.5. It clips no matter what I do. I have 4 gauge wire throughout my truck and I cant get it to stop. I tryed wiring it @4ohm but my amp wont even tickle it. any suggestions? is my box screwed? |

Bronze Member Username: Lance86Winnemucca , Nevada Us Post Number: 15 Registered: Aug-08 | I made the port 11.2 inches and it came out to 32-35hz. it seems to have helped alot. but it still seems that my sub still isnt reaching its full capabilities but thanks for your help the people on this site know there stuff. |

Gold Member Username: Drant19DUB-C, TX Post Number: 1834 Registered: Aug-07 | i would try that sub in a bigger box. try 2-2.5cubes at 35Hz. most 12's need around that much space, if they arent made for small boxes. I had the pioneer 306dvc, and pioneer recommended no more than 1.75 and not to port. HOwever, i put 2 12's in 4cubes@35Hz and they were very noticably louder and get the lows with more authority. Also, make sure that you are setting your gains correctly on the amp. 1.turn the gain all the way down. 2.turn on your HU to 3/4 its volume 3.turn the gain on the amp slowly until you hear the sub start to distort, once it does turn it back down a smidge until its cleaner LPF: ~80Hz NO BASSBOOST |

Bronze Member Username: Lance86Winnemucca , Nevada Us Post Number: 17 Registered: Aug-08 | I thought that if you built your box to big that it could damage your subs because its almost as opperating them in free air? and also if I turn my head unit up at 3/4 volume its ready to blow my crappy components(sony). My head unit gets very loud at low levels. at 20 its almost too loud to be in the car. but I have enough material to make another box so I will go in the middle with a 2.2 or so....thanks for all you input. |
