yeah ill have to tune the amp, i never did it since i hooked it up lol -_-. is it bad to put freq. on full on the amp?

lcurle

umm yes, the frequency is the signal the amp is sending to the subwoofer. If you are putting a high frequency to a SUB woofer, then you voice coil will eventually blow and you will be out one subwoofer.
Tweeters - High
Midrange - Mid
Subwoofer - Low

k im gunna change it back,
can you tell me if this is good for my amp

LPF- on full
HPF- on the lowest
Bass Boost- On full( i don't relly use my remote so w.e)
Level- Full
and the Freq. slider thing im gunna change back to the middle one which is LPF i think:S

lcurle

turn you boost down to about 1/4, same with level, send me a picture of your amp, or what model is it again? I can pull up the tuning for it with your subwoofer.

PerfaLock

okay this is what I have:

Amp:
Pyramid Royal Blue 800watts 2 channel bridgeable high power mosfet with bass boost- 4 ohm stable.

I have TWO Pioneer 12", these are the details on them:

Max. Music Power 1200Watts
Nominal Power(RMS) 400Watts
12"
Impedance 2 Ohms or 8 Ohms
Sensitivity 89 dB
Frequency Response 18 Hz to 500 Hz
Gross Weight 7.10 kg 15 lb 10 oz
Dual 4ohm Voice Coils

They are loaded to 2 ohms right now.

Ill look for a picture or you could just google the details i gave you but ill look for a pic

thanks man.

lcurle

notice how the amp says 2 ohm stable, therefore you can't bridge it down to 1 ohm

PerfaLock

I think im just gunna get the 1000W rms fosgate and run 3 subs on it. its possible right?
Can you please provide or help me with a diargram or sumthing with the lowest ohm load to the amp. all the subs are 4 ohm dual voice coil.

lcurle

it is possible but you would get mixed sounds from the subs becuase two of the three would be getting a certain amount of power, while the third one would be getting less.
My suggestion would be to either run one amp for two subs, or two amps for two subs. never go odd unless you want an odd number of amps.

PerfaLock

what if i run the fosgate on 2 subs, and bridge my 2 channel pyramid to power the third one? and whats the ppoint of getting a capacitor? what does it do? doesnt it just put more strain on your cars electrical system? or does it act like another battery that charges itself to help power the amps or something. O.O

lcurle

A capacitor is used for quick discharge to your amps, it helps but you have to get one large enough or it wont do anything.
Seriously man, I would just stick with one amp and two subs. Mix and match is horrible.

PerfaLock

k i think im just gunna stick to one amp and 2 subs. how do you wire the subs to 1 ohm , cuz the fosgates 1 ohm stable. the subs are 4 ohm DVC. and i have 2.

p.s - wen i turn my freq. to LPF, the bass isnt so heavy and continuous(i dunno how to describe it) than wen its on full:(but i dont wanna blow my subs so its on LPF.

lcurle

PerfaLock

that's a 2 ohm load i needed 1:(, but thanks.

lcurle

4 ohm amp to get to 1 ohm would need 4 speakers.....thats what I was trying to get at.

PerfaLock

nono its for the fosgate, the fosgates 1 ohm, and my pyramids 4 ohm.

lcurle

Your subs are 1 ohm and your amp is 4 ohm?

PerfaLock

im getting a 1 ohm stable fosgate amplifier:P but my current amplifier(pyramid) is 4 ohm stable. The subs are 4 ohm DVC, and i heard that if you have 2 of them, you can wire them down to 1 ohm.

PerfaLock

how do you install a crossover in your car?

lcurle

crossovers are useless, indash EQ would be better. Crossovers just breakdown the sounds coming from the deck. Plus most modern amplifiers have built in cross overs.

PerfaLock

oh because i have tweeters run off my car speakers and i want just the tweeter sound and no midrange or bass. and i heard if yuou have a crossover you could get it.
