Hello Everyone here I'll post videos of all kinds of topics such as Sound Systems, Cars, Repairs, Mods, Reviews, Unboxing, and maybe something random !! Hope you enjoy this channel :D
You guys are learning a lot. You can verify the speaker wiring by attaching a digital multimeter set to resistance. Disconnect the wires from the amp and measure. They should be close to 2 ohm. I think you got that right. You might try turning up the gain on the Power Acoustik amp. I always set my gain by listening to it. If you crank it way up listen for distortion. If you hear that, turn the volume down a notch.
You can find a Q Power Heavy Duty MDF ported box for $52 that looks pretty good. On Jeff Bezos store. I don't know what the tuning is, but it looks pretty low. That's good. I got a Q Power box myself. They are nice. I added extra glue to all the inside joints just for extra strength and sealing.
Owned a pair of the subs. Need to be in a ported box. 1.75 cubic feet, with a 35hz tuning. For best sound, 800rms worth of Amp, but no more. I had my pair on a 2500rms Amp, and they got hot easily. Not a fan of Walmart amps, especially that one.
You need a better box. I have two pa subwoofer and pa amps in a ported 4.2 cubic ft box tuned to 32hz hitting 147db on music 🤷🏻♂️. Pm me and I can show proof
Try unplugging the rj-45 bass remote knob from the amp and see if it makes a difference. Also wire your subwoofer in parallel dropping the ohms to 2 ohm. keep up the hard work.
Yea the amp is Supposed to be new but when we opened the box it was definitely used before and assuming it was returned! maybe it was defective or the box is too small , we will definitely have to go back and try it again with a better box and a New amp not used !
Please get a different box off marketplace to test with. Also get at least a 4 gauge amp kit, I say at least bc yall are only running like a 600 watt amp🤣
@TNG11Automotive The box said 2 subs which if they are dual 4 ohm you can wire it down to 1ohm. Using one sub it would had to be a dual 2ohm subwoofer to be able to wire down to 1ohm. I'll be posted for the upcoming follow up video💯
Same sub but it was Dual 2 ohm to 1ohm same amp with 2.5 ft3 ported box tuned @ 32hz we set up for a buddy and we tested amp at a sub shop and it was hitting 1000 watts rms. 1 of the c4aziest 1000 watt systems for the price.
Noo :( im looking forward to getting a cheap oscilloscope, i’ve heard that its not too accurate to use a multimeter, im sire its better than nothing though:(
A box built to spec for the sub will make a much bigger difference than you think..i got 2 DC 12s on. Sundown 8000 watt amp amd then 2 more amps running mids and highs..with a total of 5 batteries, and a 320 amp alternator, ..its loud...suggestions...put it in a bigger ported box tuned around 32 hz, make sure your grounds are really good, if you can wire to 1 ohm do that, and if your seats come down in the back you can open it up to the trunk from the cabbin..
If all you did was swap from the power acoustik amp to the Jensen and the Jensen sounded louder then you have something wrong or set wrong on the power acoustik. Or that amp has an issue. First try phase reverse by swapping polarity of the speaker leads on the amp only. Second minimum 4 awg power wire for the power acoustik. A proper built box will make even greater difference.
I just bought 2 of these over the weekend and they suck.. Over heats after 20mins of play time. THEY ARE GOING BACK. Spend a little more and a amp. All in one systems are just no good, Atleast this brand. I have 2 Pioneers in a semi truck similar to these and they work great. Get what you pay.
If ya'll would actually take time to save money for a little better brands instead of walmart, you would have a lot better of an experience than just "blaaaa". Look into HiFi car audio, you would be amazed by how much distortion is in factory head units and RCA cables. If you get rid of those and run digital audio, i guarantee you, your bass will at least double because there is no distortion. Then you can actually look into upgrading front stage and then rear if need be. There is so much more to car audio than buying stuff from walmart. Not hating on anybody and what you have but you have to put time and money into car audio to get what you're looking for. If you're satisfied with what you have than you're not a real car audio person. (no hate).
SUGGESTION: reason why they mount subwoofers upside down is beacuse the box is too small for the sub. having it installed normally takes up space inside the box. having it inside out gives the subwoofer more air inside the box. The reason this subwoofer has 2 connections on it is how it gets the 2500 watts rating. each side is rated for 1250 watts. please look up how to wire a dual ohm sub in series vs parallel If you only connect 1 side it wont play correctly. itll work but not the best these higher watt subs need whats called a break in. to soften the rubber and surround. reason why this may not have as much THUMP is because that amp is terribly inefficient. it may have 100amp fuse but if its only 60% efficient then itll only output 60% of what the box says. also the higher watt the sub is the more watts its going to need to sound good. For example. a 500w sub with a 500w amp will hit harder than a 1000w sub on 500w. smaller magnet requires less power to move. the same amount. To find out the real wattage of the amp multiply the fuse size by 14.4. so 100amp fuse on the power acoustik would be 1440w max. but again how efficient is the amp. the jenson is probabyl more efficient so it outputs closer to what the boxs says it outputs i get so excited everytime you guys post a video. reminds me of when i first got into sound audio. always excited to hear it!!
Ahh haha yesss were always happy to make another video but yes both coils were hooked up but not sure if we did everything correctly, so i will double check on that if not were gonna have to make a quick remake of the video 🙂
if you cant adjust the frequency of the Highs and Lows on your radio, these are going to sound bad on your car, because the bass on these speakers are very punchy, and the highs are very harsh.
If you just want noise, this is fine. If you're looking for audiophile quality, you need to look into measuring your driver with something like Dayton DATS v3 and designing your own box. Inside the cabin will always render clearer, louder sound, due to the room gain. Power is overrated. Location is key. I've got a 5 1/4in driver in a ported box in the passenger footwell of a Miata. Sounds absolutely killer. Outdoes the three ported 8in subs I had in my Camry trunk in high school. And those had twice the power going to them.
You ain't got that power acoustik set right ! Power acoustik amplifier puts out over 300 watts more then Jensen amplifier so i don't know what you guys are doing !...
@TNG11Automotive Your not able to do 1 ohm wiring. A dual 4 ohm sub wired in parallel will be 2 ohm. To get a 1 ohm load you need a sub that is dual 2 ohm.
i have the power acoustik amp powering an old kicker comp 10”. The sub is a single 4ohm vc and my power wire is 4 gauge cca, so if i had to guess, the amp is probably giving the sub 200-300 watts rms. haven’t had any problems with it and i’ve been playing it every day as it’s in my daily driver
@@TNG11Automotive Not too sure how much of a difference you’ll get from going to 4 gauge. Probably a lot cleaner sounding as the power will flow through the bigger wire a lot more efficiently. The box makes a huge difference too. A good box can make a cheap or low power sub hit way harder than you’d expect
@@TNG11Automotive go with the 4 gauge wire first. It’s cheaper than a new box and will allow you to run more powerful amps and subs in the future. It’ll also allow you to run an amp for your door speakers and 6x9s so you can keep a balanced sounding system because, eventually, you get to a point where the sub overpowers the door speakers and 6x9s if they’re wired straight off the head unit and you have to turn the sub down to keep the sound balanced
😂😂 car audio can send you down a deep rabbit hole when it comes to a perfect build but doing your own trail and error experiments is fun to watch. Do you guys think of adding more subwoofers instead of doing singles? For sure your starter setup is underpowered but for average folks they will be satisfied with what you guys did
Luis is a sore hater on everything you review and your turning dose suck, you got gothic in sealed box, 😂 bass knob is maxed out not good thing and if you did some research about car you will find out dropping your back seats down will allow more bass in the cabin plus I bet your radio turning is trash 🚮 SMH 🤦🏾♂️
The bass knob is an attenuator. With it turned all the way up it's the same as no bass knob. It is whatever the gain level is set to. So yes, it is fine.
I had this setup in my Civic but I made a custom box 4 it and it sounded really good it was really loud I recently just bought two more of these subs but with a soundstream 3000 watt amp with a ProBox and it sounds crazy in my Ford edge
