NOCK Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Right, long time since this post was last written in. I have finally built my system and started to connect it up. It works so I am happy. However, the amp is only powerful enough to drive one of my subs so I am a bit gutted. Anyway, my problems aside, I have got one critical question before I complete my install.How do you cut through the rubber disk in the engine bay to run the power cable through, and is there anything to watch out for when doing so? As I have only tested it with the power cable outside the car so far. Any help would be much appreciated.Also, if anyone fancies swapping a 3000W amp for my, used for 30 mins maximum, theloudest.com TL-1092 1500W 2-channel amp then please pm me because I am going to either buy a 3000W amp, or another of the one I have already got so that I can power my other sub.Thanks in advance,NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 3000w?You sure? Or are you talking in Flax Power talk?Im overpowering a Crystal cmp 12 by 300wrms with only 800wrms and Im talking over £700 of sub and amp!What subs do you have?Hang on, just read your post again.How can it power one sub fine but not both?That doesnt make sense.How did you wire it?

NOCK Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the input from both of you.I am running two Pioneer TS-W306C subs (halfrauds'y i know but I'm on a budget). They are rated at 1000W peak, 400W RMS. It's probably just the amplifier's fault; it runs one fine but is pathetic when trying to run two from it. If you have any ideas about a decent amp i could buy (for reasonable money) please can you let me know.Thanks again,NOCKEDIT @ Tigz: It powers one when I bridge it, but can't power two when I wire them up normally using the two channels, if you get me? P.S. what is 'FLAX'? Edited February 26, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hang on, just read your post again.How can it power one sub fine but not both?That doesnt make sense.How did you wire it?That amp should power them fine.Lets make sure you have wired it correctly before throwing cash away.The subs.Do they have one pair of connections on each sub?Edit.Yes they do.http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/25/13...306C/index.htmlWait there.

NOCK Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The subs.Do they have one pair of connections on each sub?Yeah, but when I set them up like that the amp doesn't seem to like it?NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 http://www.theloudest.co.uk/index.php?id=v...p;product_id=76Your screwed.The amp is not 2ohm stable when bridged.Did you not tell them you wanted to use the amp to power two SVC 4ohm subs?

NOCK Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 lol nah I didn't ask anyone I just bought it. I was thinking of getting the 3000W version but after what 'eXXXtreme arosa' told me I think I'll steer clear. Any ideas what to get (for around the £100 mark preferably definately not more than 200)?NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 What Id buy.http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/blaupunkt-...400-p-4607.htmlWhat you probably should buy.http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jbl-gto6011-p-4134.htmlDont know much about these, but plenty of power for the price.http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/audio-syst...190-p-4713.htmlOver budget but loads of power!Over 1000wrms at 2ohm.http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jbl-gto12011-p-4132.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I could bridge the 4 channels into 2 channels, would the amp be able to take it though if I did this, you know more than me about this?Thanks again,NOCKWhoops clicked reply instead of edit Edited February 27, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXXXtreme arosa Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 That amp should power them fine.they should be the most powerful amps ever made but there are FAR FAR from it!!!Nock steer clear of the loudest.com mate a 400watt mac audio amp is far louder that them!!! mac audio are fairly cheap amps but i would go for ANYTHING and i mean ANYTHING with a decent brand name and IT WILL be LOUDER!!!! the loudest.com should be called the QUIETEST .com!!!!

eXXXtreme arosa Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 another thing is there ab class amps and very fooking juicey and stenuous on the battery mate!a sony pentagon ( god thats desperate) is far louder 1600watt peak ??? doubtfull but my friend has two pentagon subs and one pentagon amp in his punto and it wiped the floor with my system. 2x1000 gto jbl subs and 3000watt loudest.com amp! on paper sounds great in practice there ****!

NOCK Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Okay so theloudest.com aside, what do you think about these amplifiers:CH1000 or CH3000DBL2000or maybe even Pyramid PB2600-not sure about the make for that though and would have to import from America, so my least favourite at present.Also will I have to buy a new wiring kit if I've got a 200W wiring kit now, and I buy an amp that is more than 2000W- might be a stupid question.Thanks again,NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I give up! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />Just so you know.Anything with a MOSFET power supply you do not want to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXXXtreme arosa Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Why not?Why do you give up have I pissed you off?NOCKnock do wat i did go to an ICE shop tell them wat you want then wire down model numbers and brands.... do not buy there and then.... go home go on the net find it the cheapest you possibly can and then get them to match it at the shop. turned out i got my stuff cheaper than wat they buy it in at style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> awesome result even if i do say so myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) I'VE DONE IT!!!! I'VE DONE IT!!!! Wired it all up with the original, theloudest.com, amp and sounds great. Turns out I just had a dodgey earth connection before! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Could do with sound proofing the doors and upping the balance to the subs (as I'm worried that I'm going to blow my standard front-door speakers) but I don't know how to do that, don't think it's possible with my head-unit. Not sure yet though. Just thought I'd let you all know. Sorry for being a dumb ass along the way! And thanks to all those that helped me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> NOCK Edited March 5, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
