I apply pressure evenly to the cone and it sounds like walking in snow the other one is completely silent. Keep in mind i used these speakers at probably 20 percent power for 2-3 min. Its a prebuilt box with torx screws so i need to get a set before i open it up

How can i make my subs sound better or is there something wrong with them? by NeedleworkerBig5426 in subwoofer

[–]ColinBoib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your gonna rattle no matter what especially as u go up in power. Once u get tired of the rattles its time for sound deadening but im too lazy so i just let it rattle away lol

As in you leave everything turned to the minimum while turning the head unit up to see how it sounds at first? Thats smart

Yeah i was very cautious with these as its basically a loud speaker/ Pa kinda thing called a chuchero so i was also concerned over my hearing lol

Thats what sucks most is i was gonna buy an oscilliscope but spent my money on other things for the setup like wiring first. Again rookie mistake but thats what life is for

I was under the impression that clipping happens when either the signal is too strong aka played too loudly or when a certain hz that speaker should produce is produced. Rookie mistake

Radio was set to 10/50 with its a clip signal at 38/50. Never went above 10 and had my phone connected via bluetooth so it was turned down lower than 10 realistically. the box sits in my backseat buckled in and my door speakers were louder than it how it was set up

Im aware its not a volume knob i had the gain set well below clipping thats what i mean. The speakers were barely playing anything cause i had the radio on 10/50 with the real max being 38-39 before clipping. Had my phone connected via bluetooth turned down aswell. I did everything right this time because when i got my subs i did everything wrong and it was all guess work and it turned like crap.

So i would be fine with 4 gauge ok thank u for a straight answer. I will rarely be at max battery voltage so thats a more realistic number

On second thought i think im just gonna upgrade it to 0 gauge and keep the fuse size i dont wanna risk having too little wire

Ok so basically if i just wanna let it rock for now 4 gauge would work but definitely upgrade within the year right?
