Post pictures of your trunk speakers! Im getting some subs and amp and i want to see how they look in the trunk and whats the most common/coolest place to mount them. so post your pictures of them. thanks. |
1 Attachment(s) nothing cool or fancy about mine, but it's practical, sounds great and i still have plenty of trunk space. SVC 12" Kicker Comp with Kenwood 320W amp. speaker is new, enclosure is about 6 years old. oh yeah, trunk is dirty too :giggle: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/a...1&d=1171055620 |

I have no idea how much air volume there is, but their 2 Kaption SPL-1200's 600 rms/1200 peak each...with a tantrum 1200.1 amp giving about 1400 watts, and a Pheonix gold cap as well...there's A LOT of bass. |

How does that sound with the speaks facing inward on a sealed box? I know on a bandpass it doesnt matter, but ive never tried it with a sealed. Does it sound better than facing outward or just different? |

I don't know how different it would sound if they were pointed outwards, since this is the first and only system and setup I had in my car...but the system POUNDS...it has soo much bass that it hurts ur ears if you sit inside with it turned up...I got dynamat on the trunk lid and trunk floor, behind the liscence plate, and I put some foam stuff under my rear deck...inside, it sounds totally clean...outside theres a bit rattle (trunk flexing, which I can't find any way to stop), but for the amount of bass I get, I would say theres almost no rattle on the outside...it was professionally installed, sounds sweet, tons of bass, I love it! |

btw.. you got the subs wired backwards. unless you reversed the phase at the amp already. |
I dunno how to tell if it's wired backwards, but it was professionally installed so i'm guessing it should be right...is there any difference in the sound when they are reversed? I believe one set of +/- on each sub go to the amp and one set connect to eachother (this is how u make it 2ohm?)... |

I believe one set of +/- on each sub go to the amp and one set connect to eachother (this is how u make it 2ohm?)... best i can tell without closeups of the speakers showing polarity, here's the polarity: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/a...1&d=1171275569 to make all 4 coils in parallel, you'd need to do this: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/a...1&d=1171275569 if you have 4ohm coils, running all them in parallel will be a 1ohm load. if they're 8ohm coils, then you'll get 2 ohms. if they're 4ohm, series-parallel, they'll be a 4ohm load at the amp. if they're 8 ohm series-parallel, they'll be an 8ohm load at the amp. check the polarity of the connections on the subs. if they're the way i drew them in the first pic, then you don't have a 2ohm setup. |
Well, my subs have dual 2-ohm voice coils...and the way you indicated the connections are correct...so that would mean that I am wired at 4-ohms? If yes, would it be better for me if i were to wire it at 2-ohms (I have a tantrum 1200.1 amp)?...also, if a picture of the connections on the amp side would help, I can get a picture of it...thanks man.. |

I'll check the amp side later on, but they are 2-ohm subs for sure..thank for the info! |
just got a new box, i guess i should say, boxes. but i will take pics and post them soon |

I'm positive it is impossible to wire two DVC 2-ohm subs at 4ohms. You have a choice between 8ohms, 2ohms, and .5ohms. .5ohms will blow up your amp, so avoid that one. So your choice is between 8 ohms and 2ohms, i'd recommend two. Wire it like this (the way electric130 stated): https://img158.imageshack.us/img158/...dvc2ohmnp5.gif |
Here's my setup. Sorry for the crappy quality. They're pics from my cell phone so they came out kinda blurry. I'm running 2 audiobahn awt12se subs and 1 1000W nitro amp with a 2 farad capacitor. Here's my pix... http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/i/1549...&outquality=90 http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/i/1549...&outquality=90 http://pictures.sprintpcs.com/i/1549...&outquality=90 |
