Blew out my subwoofers...

i did have them set up right. i had someone who does this stuff come over and look at it... and also i will grab the voltmeter... but is 500w what im looking for? is that still too much for those subwofers?

 

and btw guys yeah i do apreciate those who are helping, but if u just got on here to be an ass hole then screw off ok? im 18 and i dont know a lot about this stuff... but im tryin to learn ok? so if u got a problem take it somewhere else... thanks guys

 

im not refusing to listen... but once again.. im only 18.. im putting my own money into this stuff which i dont have a lot of... i am listening, but theres only so much i can do. i also have a 1st gen which tends to be a lot more limited on space then the 2nd gens. im tryin to get the point across that theres is only so much im willing to do not because im not listening, but because theres only so much i CAN do for the time being...

 

and once again... special thanks to italian stalion cuz you have been very helpful and patient with me cuz as everyone made clear, i have no idea what i'm talkin about... thank god for tw lol. but i appreciate u helpin me out.

 

(i know im late) wait.....did you say two 8" subs on a 1000w amp?.....well you know why theyre blown...

 

yeahi get what ur sayin... but i still dont think u understand how limited i am on what i can do... the ONLY box that will fit behind the back seats of my 04 doublecab barely fits.. the box cannot be modified in any way and still fit back there... the only two subs that will fit in the box are some pioneers and these kickers... i have a nice amp kit... and everythings wired up correctly, i just was running too much power... but i will play with the gain so i dont blow them this time... i do somewhat understand now what i need to do. and on top of that i have someone coming over to make sure everything goes smoothly. i just gotta make it work and ill be happy...

 

Forgot to post these up before....http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_21&products_id=785

And at $98 a pop that's not all that bad. In fact, I modeled them in my box program and I think they've piqued MY interest.

 

i dont understand the difference. but like i said.. ill just stick with my amp and set the gain so i cant turn my amp up as much...

 

well good luck with everything man! hope you get everything dialed in right this time. just remember to set the gain to match the preout voltage on your HU. a lot of people tend to use the gain as a sort of "volume" control and thats how subs get blown.
