Sure, they are great. Just make sure you do your reasearch or buy from a reputable builder. Most lithium horror stories come from those. But if they are built right (properly compressed, balanced, etc) they are great and can out perform premades like the cyber.
What's your take on breaking in subwoofers? I recently bought two 12 Kenwood Excelon subwoofers at 500 rms 4 ohms. I also have a kenwood amp that's 500 rms at 4 ohms and I paralled wires them together. I have a stock stereo so I have a LC2i converter tapped in to my factory rear deck speaker. I got it tuned at a highly rated audio shop that doesn't have a single bad review on Yelp and Google and they were very professional. I don't have a bass knob so I was using my stereo's bass control that goes from -5 to +5. I played around with this for the first 3 days and I played them hard. The fourth day the glue on the outer rubber came off on both of them and now I'm getting replacements from Crutchfield. Tech support told me they both shouldn't have had the glue come off if it was a defect and was probably not tuned right. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but this shop has tuned hundred of systems with LC2i's and I really hope they were defected and the glue didn't cure right from the factory. But I do think it's weird it happened to both of them. Should I break in my replacements or play them normally? I would really appreciate the advice!
Hey, I love your videos and had a quick question. I just recently got two 12" 800 RMS each 4ohm DVC subwoofers with a 1500 W @ 1oHm amplifier. I tested my wiring on the subs and got 1 Ohm impedance, but don't feel like the woofers are getting the power they should be. How to check how much power your amp is giving off?
Only way is to snag a clamp. The cheapest one you can find is a SMD AMM1. Use it once or twice then sell it to recoup some of your money. They are pricey
