@GuitarHeroGage

2 жыл бұрын

It wasn't actually getting 4k RMS to each, I'd say it was most likely getting 2.5k to each because of box rise. I do have them on a 12k at .5 and they could be getting 3-4k each though. They can definitely take it, but you have to be mindful of what you're playing (such as gain overlap, tuning, and who made the song). I don't mind Taramps, both of my big amps have been Taramps and they haven't had any issues. I hear CAB is good though so you're fine with them as well. But you won't actually get 4.5k out of that CAB due to box rise. Depending on how the subs handle the enclosure and how it was made, usually x2+ is normal. Unless you're running that cab at below .5 ohms, you'll probably get like 3k or less.

How did they take the power? I have two on a salt 4K and was thinking about picking up one more and strapping them to a .5 ohm load to each amp.. (1ohm strapped) also have mine in a 11 Corolla..

@GuitarHeroGage

3 жыл бұрын

They handled it fine, but it depends on your gain overlap I suppose. I set mine at -3db and i could play -5db and -7.5db songs all day. But songs that run -3db I can only play 1 song, most likely was getting 3-4k into each sub on those songs (with my MD12k at .5), so you just have to play with it and figure out it's limits. I also have a taramps amp with a lot of box rise, and a box that's way too small for them. So 2 salt 4k's at .5 could probably be their limit. Worse case you can get upgraded softparts if you blow them lol.

Hey get rid of the limitless battery and get you some good lithium bro. I would love to see how your voltage drops. I’m pretty sure it’s significant. My 96ah headway bank on a 256 amp alt from eBay keeps my voltage at 13.9-14.6 on 4 SAV2 12s and a sundown 8k. I watched your vid because I’m switching to U15s or X12s v2 but just watching your vid when you first started Playing the first song you can see the difference in the power after a few seconds judging from the rag you had in the window. I went with headway because it’s budget friendly. But there’s definitely better options out there. But headway will out perform that limitless battery every day.

@GuitarHeroGage

Жыл бұрын

Headways literally use the same chemistry as limitless blues lol.... Both are just LiFePO4 cells. My limitless was 45Ah, if I had 96Ah of Limitless, it would have been the exact same as yours (you can Google both of them, hell Limitless may even use headway cells for all I know). The difference between the songs are the gain overlaps, my cars peak was 30Hz, I got the most air movement at 26-29Hz. The first song was 24Hz@-5db, the 2nd was 29Hz@0db. I kept my gain overlap at -3db, so the 2nd song was clipping super hard, not all songs are made the same if you're using different artists/rebassers. The first song was just to show off the flex of the subs. The lowest I would get my voltage was to 12.6V from 13.9V (0db songs would easily do that, but they are clipping, so I never played them for long). Taramps are rated at 12.6V keep in mind. I no longer have this build in the car, but I definitely knew what I was doing...

@GuitarHeroGage

Yea, its a bit windier, but with the way its tuned right now im probably only clamping 2-3k more than I was before, which is probably only like 7k-8k total. This box has quite a bit of rise because it's so small, I was rising to like 5 ohms - 5.5 ohms from 2 ohms with my 8k. The MD12k does have a .5 stable version though which helps fight the rise, if you wanted to go all out then you can get the MD12k, But you definitely have to be mindful of the songs you are playing, even with the 8k you have to be careful, because the max these things will take in a daily is around ~3k RMS each from what i've heard.

@@WifeBTR123 Some Mercedes and BMW for example do have rear batteries, and also heavy wiring, and electronics near the battery, aka designed for it. You will have better cranking and ECU performance having some type of battery up front, and it also aids the alternator with "filtering" the dc output from the alternator. You can substitute a capacitor for a battery up front, but a battery is better. Also, you can parallel lead and Lithium for over-discharged conditions to "trick" the internal BMS of the Lithium to allow charging again, for Lithiums that refuse charging. Speaking from experience and not "I heard" The charging system of a car is 14.4v cold, 13.8V hot, and the battery chemistry doesn't matter as long as system voltage is properly regulated by a proper alternator. BTW, Gel is slightly different than AGM, as AGM prefers higher voltage, and Gel performs down to lower voltages a bit better, which is why they are best used for mobility equipment. AGM paralled with Gel gives you more cranking amps and better deep cycling. Same if you parallel Lead and Lithium.

You could get LTO cells, but you usually need 16V charging for those I think. I'm not sure how the car would react to that. My RPMs also drop from time to time when there's a load on the alternator, but I haven't had any other issues besides that. Amp wise, all depends on the budget, but if you have the money, I'd get the sundown SALT series, maybe a 6k-8k. Any Korean built amp you can't really go wrong with. Taramps are a good cheap alternative, but they are also cheap for a reason, I had 2 and never had issues with them though.

Mostly left it like it was, although I did seal it up with a lot of pillows and blankets to do some meter runs, and it helped on the meter. Didn't really sound a whole lot louder to me or move more air. Plus I planned on taking it out, so I didn't want to build a great stuff wall or something and it be a nightmare to get out.

Just an FYI welding cable is Significantly smaller than wire from Sky High or car audio wire. They sell car audio wire as 1/0 or 2/0 but it’s oversized by a long shot. I went to tractor supply to get Lugs for Sky high 1/0 cable and the 3/0 welding cable Lugs were the only ones that fit. Now I have SHCA 2/0 and I haven’t tried to buy lugs for those at tractor supply. Just got the SHCA lugs for them though but I would guess 2/0 would be about 5/0 or 6/0 welding cable size. I’m sure you know this already, but fucking wicked setup brah. Good shit.

2/0 welding is the same strand count as 1/0 car audio cable, but the jacket is thicker on 1/0 car audio cable, and the copper is a lot softer. I did already know that. But yea the rule of thumb is double for the lug size, so 2/0 car audio wire is 4/0 welding, and so on.

GuitarHeroGage I get what you’re saying. But I’m not talking about the jacket. I had to use 3/0 Lugs. There was absolutely no way in hell my Sky High OFC 1/0 gauge would fit 2/0 Welding Lugs. I had to take them back to tractor supply. I tried and tried and tried, it wasn’t happening without cutting the wire.

Have you tried turning the box around for better sound? Having it fire towards the rear?

@GuitarHeroGage

Depends on what I'm playing. If I play stuff that gets them going at full power, I can really only play them for about a couple minutes before I can smell them. In this video the 21 savage song, and the bones song are right at the clipping point (-3). I can't play those for long. But if its songs that are below the clipping point at like -7.5db, I could play it for hours with no problem, they just don't move as much air as the songs that nearly clip, but they still move a lot of air.

There could be other factors as well, maybe the box is facing the wrong direction for lows? The X series don't play that well above 40Hz, so you may need to get you some music with LOW lows, maybe check your subsonic filter? Hard to say, but I hear the U's are very musical, way better than the X for normal listening.

@GuitarHeroGage

Depends on what kind of music you listen to and how much you want to spend. But the Sundown U's are the more musical version of the X series. Low frequencies you cant hear too well from far away, so the X series may not be the best. U or SA would be pretty good for getting really loud. Amp wise, I'm not sure anymore who makes the best amps. Korean amps: Sundown, JP (Down4sound), and Crescendo are pretty good. Brazilian amps: Banda and Taramps are like the only ones I know, they both do well. If you plan to run over 1500W, you for sure need to look into alt and battery upgrades. Brand X makes some of the best alts right now, and may not be a bad idea to look into lithium if you want to run some serious power.

Always a good idea, the 2015 corolla only has a 100 Amp alt from what I've seen. I've always heard after 2000W RMS you need to get a new battery. Realistically you'll probably only get like 2.3k max RMS out of that thing unless you wire it into the dirt, so you could be fine just upgrading the front battery. But i'd hook up a volt meter and see what the drop looks like. It idles at 13.8V so if it starts getting into low 12's you need to do more for power.
