I got one in my van. Blew all my 4 old-school orion xtr pro 12s with it, Wasnt clipping. Too much for them, i guess ended up swapping them for 4 SKAR EVL 12s but now its cuts out on bass heavy songs. Anyone got any ideas voltage does drop to about 12.1 at lowest not sure if that may be the culprit or the 14 gauge speaker wire running from the amp to the subs its ofc wire.
In the paper that comes with the screen. Scan the qr code and follow the steps. Is not too complicated. It will be much easier it you follow the steps in the qr code.
@956Bassaddict- Ive been putting your youtube channel out, on other youtube channels, another great video, my friend! Hope you are safe down there!? I just seen there was a big explosion in houston.
I'll be going to Lawton Oklahoma for finals this year, USACI. Hopefully, I'll get this new build done to get enough points. If not, I'll go do demos. 🤙.
@holeshotinspectionllc2412 That's very nice. I love to compete. Unfortunately, I don't have the time. I'm messing moust the competition shows because of my job. My best score is 164.22 db at 40hz. Good luck 👍
@956Bassaddict I actually knew that been following for a bit, and We've talked before, pretty sure you checked out my page, with my 4 18's Crossfire build that was in my Durango, but I picked up a 97 Tahoe with 141,000 miles clean too. So I'm back to rebuilding. No one was in my classes at our last show, so I slapped 2 of my 18's in a box with my 10 port and an Articwolf 9k popped a 151.4 on 4k lol. Got my dual alt set up in, now I'm going to get wood, waiting on deadner...
@956Bassaddict wow that's more than I was expecting from what I've seen, alot of ppl have been using a 50% of what a sub asks for on the rear section chamber, top chamber in your case which is sick. On my 4th oder with 4 18's, I did 11 cuft, so I was about 2.4 cuft per 18. 2:1 ratio Just trying to figure out how these 6th orders work. I have a 10 big ass port laying around. I thought 10in would be too small, but you get very similar numbers. That I do on the meter. Appreciate the info. I love learning something new🤙 I had my 10in with 3 Crossfire xt3 18's in a flatwall 4.9 cuft per sub and was doing 161+ .
@956Bassaddict appreciate it, I'm pretty dialed on 4th orders, but I might play with a 6th, 4 18s it would actually get me within a cuft of 6 18's in a 4th if I wanted to change it up just have to rebaffle it.🤙
The rear mount is not a problem. But the front ones are a little tricky. I try to slide them to the front side of the camper shell the muches I can, and I use a long ratchet to secure the mounts.
@cristovalmontoya5222 If you do some planning, it helps a lot when it is time to work on the system or just regular maintenance. Good luck with your system 👍
The reason your getting different power readings is because you have the meters in different modes. Lots of people seem to make this mistake. The SMD was showing Apparent Power while the BHG meter was showing Corrected Power. Switch the BHG meter over to Apparent Power and they should read the same. 👍
@956Bassaddict- Great video, my friend. I have been eagerly waiting for this one! Almost everyone has been saying this BHG Watt Meter can't read past 1,500 watts or so, & im like it says on the Bass Head Garage website, that this meter can read up to 20k. But i have not seen ANYONE besides you now, that has the electrical= Huge C-Max Bank, Huge Alts., & 2- Crescendo Bc 17k amplifiers to really test this meter out, so thank you my friend❤️!
Thanks a lot, my friend. I think that I can trust the bhg meter when I test at full tilt. On a real competition, we clamped one of the 17k amplifiers with the termlab, and it clamped 22k. I like the AMM-1 it reacts quickly but is only good for 15k. I have 2 of the bhg meters . When I get back from work, I want to connect the second one on the other amplifier.
@@956Bassaddict - I would use the BHG Watt Meter, to ✔️ the impedance curve of your system. Like write down in your note book. Start with your volume down, like around only doing a 140 Db @ 38Hz. Then use test tones, starting @ 10Hz or so, going 1 freq. @ a time, up to 50, 60, 70, 80Hz, wherever you want. Write down the impedance of each freq. This will show you what freq. your amp can make the most power= @ the Lowest total impedance, & also @ what freq. makes the least power= the Highest total impedance. Make sure subsonic filters or Low pass filters are not limiting the freq. That you want to test, as this can change the impedance read vs the actual power that can be made. Since you have a 6th order, it should have 2 impedance peaks, with 3 low valleys. The peaks are where your enclosure is actually tuned @.
The controversy was solved a couple months ago. The meters were not in the same mode. It's been proven they will read the same when showing Apparent Power. (and if the SMD doesn't glitch out and show a crazy high number)
I my personal opinion the AMM-1 is more accurate on music and more responsive up to 15k. But, the BHG meter can be an affordable alternative for testing on burps for spl porpuse.
@tuffguy40- The SMD Amm-1 has problems reading accurately, when near/passed its maximum rated limits. Example: 15k @ 1 ohm, 7,500 @ 2 ohms, 3,750 @ 4 ohms, & 1,875 @ 8 ohms. But then again, most products would probably freak out when pushed past their limits.
When both meters are in the same mode, they will read the same power. The AMM-1 does seem to jump up to a crazy high number when the amp is pushed hard. I don't think anybody has figured out why it does that yet. IIRC the SMD meter will read correctly when it's in a different mode, such as showing the volts and amps.
@@JasonWW2000 - Did you watch till 13 minute's & 27 second's into this video, with the Bass Head Garage Watt Meter showing 17,775 Watts @ 1.1 ohms vs SMD Amm-1 showing 25K= (feaks out after 14 to 15k), on a test tone, slow rolled burp!? Just before that he had the volume down a little, & the BHG Watt Meter showed 13,100 Watts vs SMD Amm-1 reading 13,700 Watts= just under its maximum limitations were reached= just before it would freakout/become wildly inaccurate.
Unfortunately, I don't have the termlab. I liked to buy the termlab in the future to get a better comparison. On a competition, we clamped one of the amplifiers with the termlab, and I clamped 22k on a single amp at full tilt
@elcaminosupersport- This was a great test, as most people thought that the BHG Watt Meter could not read higher than 1,500 watts. So this video showed it sure can= 17,775 watts @ the end of this video. Go to the you tube channel: Subs&Paws. They show testing the BHG Watt Meter on a smaller amp. Its more accurate in my opinion= The BHG METER. I don't like false/high power # readings. Im all about consistency.
What do you have that 30k wired down to? Im doing 6 Crossfire xt3 18's in my new build waiting on my recones for 4 that ive had in a 4th, did a 162.3 but I want that 165 db lol. Build is slapping hard respect🤙
Hey bro how did you hook all 4 amps up to the eq bass and where did you leave the settings on the amps ? Oh and are you using a 8 inch port or 10 inch port in the rear ?
I had two rca leads. I run the rca's to connect two amps, and I use the amps with the rca's to give a signal to the other two amps using a single rca cable from the out put of the amps. I leave the settings on the amps I little bit higher than I usually run them because you're going to be using the eq bass to control the amps. I'm using a 10-inch port 👍
@@956Bassaddict I tried using the outputs of some smart. 5s to feed each other and had bad ground noise smh. So you still have to gain match them each individually ?
@Basshertz94 Sorry, I just saw your message. You might need an rca distribution block. They don't have to be perfectly matched. Try to set them a little bit higher on the clipping point. But sometimes, it is hard to find the clipping point on those amplifiers. If you can find the clipping point on one of your amps, try to see what voltage is to gaing match the rest of your amps at the same voltage.
The big boss 3k bass and 2 12 timpano 3500 series sounds rediculous i a 4.5 cube ported box tuned to 32 htz gets crazy does a 150 db so its got alot of spl
@956Bassaddict- You made a Great truck, AWESOME 👀😎 That 6.2 Liter engine is AWESOME as well! Just by doing a Dod delete, upgrading that camshaft, valve springs, adding performance roller Lifters, and exhaust can make 500+Hp Na!
Thanks brother 👍 I never have the intention of making these truck fast, but having a little extra power is always good. I might do something in the future to add some power to help out with the extra weight of the wheels and tires.
@@956Bassaddict - I have never had huge rims. Second thought, a cam really only gives more midrange, & upper Rpm power= won't help initial take off, as a bigger cam will lower your low end tq., & power from idle to 2k, or 2,500 Rpm depending on the cam choice. Forgive me, im used to putting a high stall speed tq. Converter= a 4,000 Rpm in my Last truck build😉. Im into performance/street/drag setups, lowered vehicles, with lightweight wheels, shorter tires, & 4:10 gears! I remember my friend said the Biggest change he did after changing to big heavy wheel/tire setup on his truck, was getting 4:88 gears put in, & then reprogramming the speedometer to correct it. Only thing is if its 4 wheel drive, you have to get, and install 2 gear sets.
@evilinside5984 I think that the best upgrade on that truck will be gears. I still have the original 3:08 gears with the 10 speed transmission. I bought the truck brand new in 2019, and I lift the truck with only 5k milles, and I put the 26x14 on 37s. I noticed a big difference in power. I tried to find some ⚙️ for the truck, but nothing was available. I haven't checked lately. I will be locking online. I might be able to find gears now. I think a 3:73 will be perfect
@@956Bassaddict - Im very good @ figuring out gear ratios, with different tire heights. I will look up the specs., and see what i come up with. Just for sh*ts & giggles😉😆
I notice you're cutting off while the amplifiers trying to perform. Seems like your wired a bit lowered in 0.5 ohms. Are you wired at .25 ohms and rising? What is each one of your crescendo amplifiers wited to?
@@956Bassaddict I figured that's what was going on. .25 normally shuts them down, usually resulting in fire and smoke. I rebuild these amplifiers all day for the company as well as out of warranty repair work. I try my best to explain to customers on how to keep their amplifiers in great working condition, from voltage, to impedance, to clipping and excessive clipping which I should have mentioned first. I'm actually glad to see that it continued to work after it shut down a few times. This is really the importance of having a great electrical to begin with.💯💯
@ThatsMrMark I bought that amplifier for my uncle. But I wanted to try it in my system to make that video. I installed that amp in my uncle's car and still work perfectly 👍🔊🔉🔈
@956Bassaddict- I just seen a test done on the accuracy of the SMD Amm-1 Vs a BHG= Bass Head Garage Watt Meter= $89.99. I requested them to use a Big Amperage Clamp Meter to see how many amps were being pulled through the tested amplifiers 0 Ga. Power Input wires, to verify which meter was more accurate. You know power in= power out= can't fool physics! So the Amm-1 read 3800 watts, vs the BHG 1,650 watts. Most thought the $89.99 meter had to be wrong, but i said i don't think so. Guess what 212.8 Amps X 9.65 Volts👀 X amp eff. of around 80%=1,650 watts! And all for $89.99 each. I think these new BHG Watt meters can go up to 20,000 watts per meter, get 1 per amp, and mount them up front, on your dash. They also have cool 3D Printed FI Subwoofer Bass Knobs, and Crescendo Amplifier Keychains, i want them ALL! Oh yeah, the website is called : Bass Head Garage : 🎉
I don't have any videos comparing the 3.9 and the 4.11. But I have similar videos of both of them, and they are very similar. I think the 4.11 is better because it can handle more abuse having a 4 inch voice coil
@@956Bassaddict Would be nice to see what kinda difference they have. Bigger motor coil and so on. Keep up the great content bro alway enjoy your channel
