r/subwoofer

Been playing the numbers game and want quality now.

Im seeking a top notch (CLEAN) head unit.

Will be running JL dsp and amps so the head unit doesn't have to have a high output signal or extreme eq..

Just super clean..

Recommendations?

I plan on making a custom box for a sundown xv.3 15 i’m pretty new to audio and subs but i know general terminology. The box will go in the back seat of my 08 gmc sierra im taking out the small seat and just gonna put it on the floor so the size isn’t really an issue. i want something that will hit hard at and is tuned pretty low. like i said im pretty new to it all and some help would be appreciated.

So, I recently moved and packed the car tight. After a 10hr slug the audio cut out and I reached my hand under the passenger seat to feel the amp and it was cooking hot. I let it cool and it works until I try and push it, then cuts off again. I’m sure it’s going into protect mode, I just don’t know if the amp is salvageable. The fact it works at all tells me maybe. I haven’t gotten a good look yet, but I’m hoping perhaps the ground got really hot and I need to repair it. For reference it’s a 2012 Subaru WRX with the Kenwood that has the interface to the OBD and the rest is Alpine, I don’t know exact models except the sub is an S1.

Any of yalls Taramps amp have the fan going 24/7? I saw online it’s pretty common but dang it’s annoying if it’s not in the trunk

I want to record videos of me playing my subwoofer, but it sounds like dogshit on my iPhone, how do I record videos that make the subwoofer sounds good?

Does anybody can help me choose between those two subwoofers and tell me why one or another is superior 😁

I want to use it for Raves and for Weddings if that helps anybody to choose an specific sub for me 😂

My amp just failed on me looking at this amp

I’ve been wondering about this for a while. I have a subwoofer in my car that other people say is really loud — like panels shaking, mirrors vibrating, and you can really feel the pressure.

But the weird thing is, to me it doesn’t feel that crazy anymore. It just feels kind of “normal,” even when it’s playing pretty hard.

So I’m curious — for people who have really loud systems, do you get used to it over time to the point where it doesn’t feel that intense anymore?

Like, does your brain just adapt so you stop noticing how strong the bass actually is?

Or does loud bass always feel crazy no matter what?

Just trying to figure out if this is normal.

Edit: Fixed! the adapter that connects to the factory harness hass 4 separate plugs. The blue one is an acc group of wires that caused the speakers to cut out. Since I have unplugged just the blue port (2 white 1 blue and 1 black) speakers are screaming as they should and all is well

I have a 1996 gmc sanoma running 1 kicker comp 10 300 watts off a 2 channel pioneer amp bridged 500 watt max with a Pioneer MVH-S23BT Single DIN. I rewired the head unit, ground and power wires, I cleaned the battery contact and put a new fuse on the 12v wire.

I also put the head unit from Rear/Rear to Sub/Rear in the settings. Before I installed the sub the door speakers worked fine at Vol level 25+. The door speakers cut out when its up and the amp gain is barely over half way turned up.

2 songs play almost with no interrupting the door speakers but. Idle. Driving (especially turning it seems sometimes) whenever actually the speakers cut out but the sub still hits with precision when the door speakers cut out.

Everything is new but that doesnt mean its all perfect. Iam leaning towards alternator or battery because the truck battery is small and the symptoms iam getting are similar to when my speakers would cut out when I had the system on without the car running the speakers would cut out b4 it killed the rest of the battery.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated much. THANK YOU!
