Kicker CVR12

It's normal for it to be like 8 volts?


And yes, it was insanely loud. My friend who lives about a 1/4 mile away said he could feel it eating dinner and my other friend who lives across the street could hear it in the shower. They both came over and watched a bullet shell rattle around my dashboard and a completely full water bottle jump up and down on my trunk lid.

 

how does it sound with the bass boost completely off and gain set to where it is

 

I don't know the car is in the garage... there's 6" in front of the nose and 6" behind the trunk... bigass grand marquis lol. I'll be able to work on it again next week.

 

200hz on the sub amps is too hi.try something like 80hz or so.

 

200hz on the amp is fine...he has the deck LP set to 80hz i think

 

My van had (sold it, student loans will be coming due soon) 4 2250watt RMS amps, one amp per voice coil. They had to be balanced. I dont remember the exact voltage but it was in the upper teens. (16 to 18 volts).

I think that should be normal for your amps.

 

Ranger....you sold your competition van??

did you sell all of the equipment also???

 

Everything is gone except for 2 of the amps. But they will be gone shortly.

 

how much??

 

I must have posted this picture 10 times.



Not after pretty, just loud.

Way too much, I sold the first two for just a couple dollars under brand new price. I will get the same for the last two by the end off the week.

 

The only speakers we had in the van were 2 Planet Audio FU-18's. Its only purpose was to play a 66 Hz tone. Thats it. And it only had to play that tone for about 2 seconds.



So we had only the stock alternator. And it had no problem keeping the 5 batteries charged (there was one more up front). But we also kept a trickle charger on the van, that way the alternator didnt have to work to hard.

Anyway, I dont plan on competing anymore. It was fun while it lasted.

If you really wanna know how to get to 170dB ask Azn to send you a copy of a paper I wrote about building SPL vehicles and keep your Team Rockford woofer. With the right vehicle two woofers and a lot of power we should get pretty close.

 

This might give you an Idea about the size of these two boxes





I really think that braces inside a competion enclosure is a stupid idea, but in this case I had to. Always brace competion enclosures on the outside. Oh well, we live and learn.

 

yup...still have that write up...very informative. It is on my desktop
