Need some explaining on some stuff

cd player sends the music signal to the amp via High Level (speaker outputs from head unit) or low level (RCA's)

Amp amplifies that music signal and sends it to the subs.

basically what goes on

 

power wire from battery goes to amp...amp is grounded to chassis with same gauge wire.

Amp has speaker outputs...you just wire the sub to those speaker outputs

 

dont forget the remote turn on.that goes from the radio to the amp.

your amp is always hooked to the batt.your remote turn on just tells it when to turn on.like a light switch.

 

Are you using BassBox? For beginners its a little complicated and I would recommend WinISD, its much easier to use.

If you need answers about BassBox, those of us that use it will be happy to answer any questions that you have.

Tuning, I typically tune between 38 and 42 Hz and most of the time this works out. While this will work with many speakers, it will not work with all speakers. Thats why we use software to see whats going on.

Experiment a lot and have fun

 

yeah...bastards.

My computer is f*cked up and won't open up BassBox.

DAMNIT ALL!!


I'll stick with WinISD

 

Did you say that this will be in an extended cab pick up?

This is one of those cases that I tend to tune high, shoot for 42 to 45 Hz. This will take advantage of the smaller cabin area. I would not go higher than 45.

 

Common azn get with the times already, even the noobs are going to leave you in the dust haha. format or maybe your version is corrupted

 

OO OO OO im a computer geek haha. but fixing 20 computers everyday starts to burn ya out. I work at the only pc repair/custom shop in the area so of course we get alot of business.

 

that would be when u say for example u have a 2 channel amp(could be more) and u run both channels together into 1 or multiple subs to pump more watts into them.

heres an example using the specs from an Elemental Designs NINe.2

Model Name : NINe.2 Amplifier
RMS Power @ 12.5v : 2 x 100 @4 Ohm, 2 x 150 @ 2Ohm
RMS Power (Bridged) @ 12.5v : 1 x 400 @ 4Ohm

 

im 18, junior in high school and never took a class in my life. they offered me 2 career techincal classes as a freshman when ur supposed to be at least a junior. sadly im moving away from computers though and venturing into many other careers.... such as car audio haha.

 

my specialties are repair/troubleshooting, custom builds, networking, sales, and some business analysis.

 

I am finishing up Welding Technology at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center...the most up to date career and tech center in the whole USA.

Boo yah

 

Electro...use BassBox all you want. WinISD is all I need. I feel pretty confident in my abilities now. Ranger as taught me more than BassBox can and also I've built a few boxes and have learned quite a lot about designing enclosures in the past year

How do you like dem apples?? haha

 

winisd is sucky haha, it's like windows 98 SE
