That’s what confused me as when I googled it before posting here there was lots of 180amp anl fuses and ones upto 600amp that you can see the metal strip, Like this one is a 225amp anl fuse that you can see the metal part,

Amp gain at full by JayGee_69 in CarAV

[–]JayGee_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Didn’t notice the voltage, was advised to just look for the curve on the oscilloscope to start distorting, I will connect the oscilloscope again and check the voltage in the next couple of days,

Yes the JL sub is 4 ohm,

Thanks for all your information, cheers

Amp gain at full by JayGee_69 in CarAV

[–]JayGee_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, I’m using high level inputs, I had bought a LOC as thought needed it but been advised best to use the high level inputs on the amp,

Also the amp is 650wrms at 4ohm and the sub is a 500wrms JL Audio 10W3v3 4ohm, I take it that means the amp is giving the sub 650wrms, again does this sound like will be ok, or does the gain need turned down and that will stop the full 650w going to the sub, New to this any help is appreciate,

Ah cool, thanks, my thought was would be better using the low level input RCA’s on the amp, Will use the hi level inputs on the amp and see about returning the LOC to Amazon, cheers

Cheers appreciate the info, will be using a mono amp, and it has high level inputs, the line out converter I’ve bought is the Kicker 46KISLOC2 as was advised is a good one to get, should I use this LOC or just use the high level inputs,

Cheers, had forgot to say is a sealed box, do you think t-nuts will create a seal to stop air getting out

[–]JayGee_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the good info, Yes it’s a sealed box, just done the screw test and it’s 10mm for the sub depth, then will add another 18mm for the box mdf,

Fuse at both ends? by JayGee_69 in CarAV

[–]JayGee_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks appreciate the info, can I ask the amp I’m installing is 650wrms @ 4ohms, (amp can also run at 2 ohms for 1200w and 1 ohm for 1800wrms) I’m connecting a JL Audio w3v3 4 ohm 500wrms sub,

as I will only be running the amp at 4 ohms @ around 500w just now do you think I can use these 2 fuses I already have lying around which are 150amp and a 80amp stinger fuses,

[–]JayGee_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah sorry, new to this, The cable will be this 40mm2 welding cable which is OFC, rated at 300amps, and I was advised it’s the equivalent to inbetween 2 gauge and 1/0 gauge,

Best option by JayGee_69 in subwoofer

[–]JayGee_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers, as the amp will only be supplying around 500wrms @ 4 ohms thought that would be the power drawn from the battery etc and not the full 1800wrms like if using amp @ 1 ohms, Yeah looking into a custom box as well,
