r/subwoofer

Follow up to my last post of my sub bumping💯🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love this jawn so far, definitely gets a lot of heads turning😂

Hello All, So Recently, my neighbor has offered me this Audio Ace Amplifier, he said he Believes this is a 1600w Prototype Amplifier, as his friends shop was right next to Audio Aces near the time of Aquirement, it has been ran on a 1st gen Orion HCCA the entire time he had it, then it sat for the last year until I aquired it for roughly $35, it does work!

Does anyone know what this is? Any help would be Appreciated!

It Has 1/0 Gauge Power And Ground and 10 Gauge Speaker Outs.

So I have a 8 inch dd audio 508e. And im hearing this rattle. Its definitely something in the sub or enclosure but what? The bass is deep and clean and controlled just the rattle ruins the enjoyment.And i can hear it from the driver seat as well. Song is Peaches and Cream by Shoreline Mafia. Tail end of it especially produces alot of that rattle your hearing in the video.

2 CT sounds BIO 12’s D4 for 1 ohm load

1 RECOIL RED1200.1

5 PSUs for a total of 12,3V 100A

It’s a kicker sub, kicker amp, bass is insanely loud and distorted. I’m a novice at this so if you think you can tell me how to fix it explain it to me like I’m 5!

Thanks for all the responses. It was the hi/lo button. The gain was high because I was trouble shooting didn’t even know what it was. For the record I’m 19. To all of the key board warriors on here talking crazy learn how to read a description before you comment. I made it clear I was new to this and you guys are out here acting like children.

I just got the Skar EVL 12 full bass package (with the 1500.1 amp) for my new 3rd gen Ram 1500, and I need some help with subwoofer orientation + general advice. I currently have the subwoofer pointed upwards at an angle, but I noticed that when I roll the windows down slightly, the low frequencies hit way harder. I am wondering if this has something to do with the orientation of the subwoofer. I have looked online to find what orientation is best, and I have seen so many different answers for the same question. Does it even matter? Is the window thing even related to the orientation? Please let me know what I can do to make my system the best it can be.

(Don’t judge the wiring; this was a temporary.)

I want to install a tube port in my Skar audio 2013 F150 sub box. They sell a ported version but I did not have the forsight to purchase that version but I believe I can put a tube port in the sealed version I have. I’m running 2 Skar VD-12 2ohm subwoofers inside the box but I am new to this and I’m concerned that I am going to ruin the sound quality or the box itself. Any advice would be appreciated.

Kicker Solo X 18” with a Kicker LX3000.1 amp, just got this setup like 2 days ago but it bangs🔥🔥

Has anyone tried these newer subs in their Tacoma yet? Just curious.

Hi everyone,
I’m struggling with a persistent 50 Hz mechanical transformer hum coming from my subwoofer and could use some input.
The hum has been present ever since I bought the subwoofer new. The seller recently sent me a brand-new amplifier module to replace the original one, but after installing it, the issue remains. The hum disappears for 2–3 seconds on boot, but returns as soon as audio plays or after pausing.
Troubleshooting done so far:
Measured wall outlet: 224V AC, ~12mV DC offset.
Disconnected RCA / signal cables: Hum persists regardless of input.
Tested on different circuits in the house: Same result.
Since the hum is identical on two different amp modules, I’m wondering: Is this just a flaw/inherent characteristic of this specific transformer model, or is there anything else I should check before returning it?
Thanks for any advice!

Would 8 inch sewage pipe be ok for port material? Obviously never used lol, but this was an unused cutoff so I snagged it for my upcoming box build
