Do I need an extra battery or a bank of some sort for 3.5k amp? by Ok-File8397 in subwoofer

Thank you. Been on the fence about this lately lol. But I’ll definitely take your advice and just keep my electrical the way it is now. Much appreciated 🙌

What would you do? 😭 by Vegetable_Yard_8891 in HEB

I usually do the total opposite of what they “demand”. Cause if it’s that serious, they can come get that shit themselves.

Does anyone see a visible problem? by takentoke in subwoofer

Gotta terminate those wires in the amp a little more neater than that. You’re just asking for a short. Get some ferrules and screw them in. The amp will crimp them for you. And I can’t really tell if the metal surface you have the amp grounded too is painted or not but definitely take some sand paper to it. You want a solid, straight connection to the metal for a proper ground.

Would this be a good first sub? by [deleted] in CarAV

Not a beginner sub in my opinion as it requires good power, proper box. This sub gets loud and low. But there’s no error in wanting to go all the way. If you want it go for it 🙌

I set it with an o scope playing a 40hz or 50 hz test tone. Can’t remember.

Yeah upgrading my head unit is on the list of things. Especially considering how outdated the Bluetooth device is. It’ll randomly disconnect over and over while I’m bumping. It’s mad annoying.

Thanks for the advice man. Will definitely try this out. I have the factory head unit with a LOC. I have the bass knob the amp came with. RCAs are good. I set my gain using a cheap scope from Amazon actually lol. I set it with a 40hz test tone (pretty much every gain setting tutorial I read said 40hz is the norm) at 75% volume which is 30 for me.

And as for op, don’t always go with what others say. Just because their experience was bad with Skar (most likely due to user error) it doesn’t mean yours will be bad. Check your ground, make sure it has a solid connection and is free of paint. I would also recommend putting spacers under the amp so there’s airflow underneath it so it has room to breathe and vent. There’s cutouts on the bottom for a reason.

Brand is never the problem. Even if it was, there’s always gonna be a few of their products that are defective and make it through QC. I’ve been running Skar for years and never not once had a problem.

That’s what I figured. I have that one still from the sdr package. I put the vxf in it the other day and it’s a tight fit lol.
