Re Mt 12" low output
 
Ok guys I really need your help.
I am really confused and dont know what to do.
Thanks to teamaerostar2 he told me to come here and you guys would be able to help me out alittle.

I have a 1998 neon first off.

Sub
12" Re Mt dual 1.4ohms coils

Box
3 cuft after sub and port displacement
50 square inches of port area
Tuned to 35hz
Braced with 3/4 thread rod

Now my problem is that For what I got the output is not very good.
136.3 db on the Tl. :thumbsdow

Can anyone help me out here? I know my system is capable of hitting high 140's so what am I doing wrong.
Here are all the setting on my amp and deck.

Head unit turned up to 45/63
Sub control all the way up.
Eq set to flat
Xover for sub set at 80hz
Loudness off

Amp settings
lpf 80hz 12db slope
Hpf 30hz
Intelli q set to 0

So any suggestions please dont hesitate to post.
I am out of ideas. :dunno:

Did you try a lower freq, when you burped it. 60hz sounds a bit high to me with you box tuned at 35hz. My box is tuned at 63Hz and i am using 59hz.

I would say play with the port and your frequency when you burp it

My first thought, out of phase?? Have you taken an ohm meter to it and checked that? It just sounds like it is out of phase(on just the sub)..Just a thought.

Phase or turn off your HPF.

Killer_klown187 09-20-2006 02:29 PM

^^^LOL I thought that too...Or turn on the LPF...or the gains on the amp, the xover is set REALLY low...lol

Never played a 60hz tone.
That is the tone I used to set my gain.
Used a 35-60hz sweep.

Yeah not out of phase checked it with a dmm and it reads 0.8ohms

Dont think I have that option.
My deck just allows me to set it at normal or inverted and it is set to normal.

xover for a sub set at 80hz is not low.

FusionMadsen 09-20-2006 06:15 PM

I mean your HPF on your amp.

Killer_klown187 09-20-2006 06:56 PM

I would say turn the Deck LPF to like 110 or 120 if you can go that high, 80 is a lil low for my liking!!!

Dont want to turn off the hpf cause is it the subsonic filter.

FusionMadsen 09-20-2006 07:20 PM

HPF's and Subsonic filters are two completely different things...
