I bought a box, that fits them, 2 10's and an 800 watt amp.
i have some speaker wire also but do not know the first thing to do


help me please

 

specs on amp?? voice coil configeration?
you said 1k watt each, thats probably peak. what's the rms rating?

do you have your power wire ran already...

info!

 

i dont have anything ran lol just to the stock 6x9s in the trunk....the amp is a 2channel class a/b amp (powerbass brand)
subs are 350 rms ...
double 4ohm bobines mobiles..
dual 4ohm voice coils...
i dont know wat any of that means except the rms. lol

 

amp specs?
and you'll probably need an amp kit. 4ga should do you good.

 

here's your wiring options for your two dual 4ohm woofers




I dont know the specs of your amp, but i'm gonna guess that it's not 1ohm stable.
leaving you to run it at 4ohm, in which you'll probably only get 250 watts or so out of that powerbass.

 

problem... atleast i think.
well i weent out and bought the amp packkand stuff...
but i still have the stock head unit... (stereo thing)
i dont know what to do. plz help its getting late

 

I'll step in before Reach gets here and puts the smack down on your random nonsense and thread whoring. You've posted a bunch of pointless comments and questions. If you really want help follow these 3 easy steps....

1. Put down the booze.

2. Conduct a single post with actual details and questions in English.

3. Follow up with a helpful response.

 

sorry man, i was really frustrated lol.
wont happen again,
but hey
i almost have it now i went out, got the wiring harness and a new radio, just gotta run the wires from the amp to subs and stuff now

 

gr8dale, if you really are 16, I can understand that this can be a hard task to do if you've never done it before. Likely you're working on your first car, and don't want to screw it up; but you can't spend much money. We can understand, we've all been there before.

Unfortunately it sounds like you don't have a good understanding of the things you need to do in order to add subs to your car. I encourage you to go and do a lot of reading and research on this and other sites (just google "How to add amplifier and subwoofer to my car") and come back with specific questions, we'll try to help.

As a starter, you will need:

+ Your Subwoofers (got it)
+ Your amp (got it)
+ some speaker cable (got it)
+ large gauge power cabling. you NEED to get this, you cannot use speaker wire
+ a good understanding of how all the equipment works together
+ knowledge of where you will get the audio signal to feed the system
+ know-how on how to wire it all specific to your car. we can help with this one.


Good luck! Just post in this thread with your further questions, don't start any more threads, ok? Thanks.

 

well my dad is helping me and he kinda knows this stuff i guess :|
anyway we haver the power cable and everything hokoed up box in amp in and everything but the subs wont play :\

suggestions?

 

As quoted above, you need a remote turn on lead, from your HU turn on would be most practical, i believe it's the blue/white stripes (correct me if i'm wrong!)
Your amp also need to be grounded. link

 

** sorry to post twice in a row but i found out the amp doesnt have any lights on... so i guess somethings hooked up wrong?

 

ok, i have 2 10in 1k watt pioneers in the trunk and a 800 watt amp.

they bump pretty hard

thing is the door speakers and stuff try to play the bass sumtimes and it sounds like dookie

they were good when the guy at the auto shop tuned my amp sounded so great! but i went to a friends house to -_- and we messed with the amp i dont think its right...
how do i tune it ?

thanks

 

He told you that twice already. This is already your 4th thread you've started in regards to troubleshooting your set up.

So it sounds like dookie huh?
Tunings depends on your gear, we don't know what you have, what your box is tuned to, and whether or not you'll just mess it up again after you

But to have some sort of input
Low pass your subwoofer amp to 80hz.

 

oh, man im sorry i thought he meant just on hooking it up.

please remove this if need be.

 

i had the same thing happen to me before where everything was connected and my amp wasnt getting any power. Very first thing is to check the fuse near the battery to see if the fuse is good. if it is than you might have to check to see if there is voltage going through the cable to see if the amp is even getting any power. My case my fuse was out so I replaced it but it still wasnt powering on so i found out my amp blew out. You might want to take your amp back after all else fails.

 

Threads merged. If you have ANY QUESTIONS regarding your setup, just ask them here.

The more we know about your equipment, how it is wired, what kind of car, etc... the more we can help you. So far you haven't really posted any information about your equipment, just your problems.

Imagine going to a doctor and saying "Doctor, I have this bad cough... can you fix it?" but the doctor doesn't get to examine you. It could be a chest cold, pneumonia, or AIDS, but we don't have any idea what the cause of your symptoms is since you don't post enough useful info. Capiche?

 

ok, so i have 2 10 in pioneer subwoofers 1k max... 4ohm voice coils in a box w/ a 800watt amp. the box has a splitter ? in the middle so that each sub has its own space. they are facing towards the license plate. in my trunk

is that enough info 2 tell me what i should have my amp on?
like wat settings

 

no

 

exact make and models of the amp and speakers would be a good start. install pictures are a good helper too.

 

two of http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...TS-W257D2%7CD4 and a PowerBass 800 Amp.. threw away the box.

 

powerbass 800..... 4 channel... 2 channel...? can't find a 800 mono.

also, your subs are rated 350w rms, I highly doubt pioneers can take 1000w...

Furthermore, most likely the powerbass will not be able to take a 1ohm load... therefore you would have to run your subs at 4ohm, and if that amp really does its rated power, it'll only put out maybe 150-300watts at most, at 4ohms.... you may be underpowering your subs. new sub setup or a new amp imo

 

ok my subs seem to struggle on low notes.... would it be better if i got a ported box

and also can someone give me a guide to makin a ported box,.

 

Your amp is considerably underpowered to be pushing two of those subs. Consider a stronger amp. You're not going to be able to push it much more without investing in a more powerful amp. I'd either look to get happy with what you have or start saving some pennies.

 

im getting a 1600 max amp from my friend for 60 he got a new one for his bday ;]

but should i also buy a ported box/

 

the sub hits real high when i first turn my car on and it keeps playing real low rumbling.... w/ no music

 

is it wired correctly, getting enough power, gains set right?

 

same thing happens to me sometimes
if your running on the oem battery i highly recommend you change it to aftermarket immediately i drove like that for about 3000 miles and the battery died i was stranded like 4 times and had ppl stop and jump me until i could get it changed.
But im think its probably not wired right im going to buy a cap and buy all new speakers tweeters and have them re wire everything at a different spot hopefully that will fix the problem

 

man its like playing the sounds of the engine.... when idling esp

 

what car is this in? The 07-08 TL's have active noise canceling which will cause this problem and you need to disable the system to cure it

 

1 thread man. 1 thread for all your sub issues. I've merged this into your other thread, please figure it out!

 

sorry.
but no its in a 97 cl

was working fine until i decided to hook up a new amp.
we hooked it up and the amp wasnt working so i wnet back to my old one and now this is happening.

 

I would really recommend taking it in to a professional. How much longer are you gonna let this car whoop your ass?

 

lol but i had it correct!

 

2 12in infinity woofers, they are already in the box ... would it be wise to have 2 sep boxes

1 facing seats and one facing road?


1 with the 2 10's and one with the 12;s or should i look into custom boxes for my 10s

 

no

no

no

100thly, why are you triyng to make things so complicated?

 

why not do something like this while ur at it...

 

ahh i love u smartasses.
/sarcasm


anyway im just trying to better my car
lol
but i guess ima leave the audio alone now.

 

ok, today i got tired of hearing my engine sounds through my subs when no music is playing.
i decided to change out my ground wire.

i put it back in the same place however.
the noise is still present

 

What are you grounding it to? Drill yourself a nice new ground point to make sure its good.
