i have a 10 w6 jl audio subwoofer on an alpine v12 1005 amplifier getting approx 600rms bridged

its tuned by a coustic xm-6 and run from an alpine h/u

it sounds like ****!!!!!!

no matter how i tune it it doesn't sound good, im not sure why, i have positive to positive on both coils, tried it without the exover and it makes little difference

the bass sounds boomy

im wondering if its the crappy ported box i got it with

what size box for a single 10 inch w6??

should i just sell it and use a single l7?

 

oh yes i think i hae charging issues my battery goes dead quickly and the lights dim when the bass hits

i'll check the voltage, do you think upgrading battery or adding a cap will help? or a bigger alt?

 

bigger alt would solve the charging

your box may be the problem though, I went form sealed to ported myself and cant wait to hear the difference

 

read the spec sheet it will give you different enclosure types and the sq ft that you need.

Personally I like sealed better but thats on you. It will take care of your "boomy" problems.

 

how big is your box right now? for sealed, i would recommend 1.2 cubic feet. for ported, i would recomend 1.6 cubic feet tuned to 28hz.

 

thanks guys! im not sure how big it is now i got it used

illl get them to make a ported box 1.6 cubic feet

HOW DO I TUNE IT TO 28HZ???

different port length?

the box gys down here just build boxes sell them and hope they boom correctly, lol

i will try a sealed box though, i prefer sealed sometimes

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but if you have it hooked up from positive to positive, you are going for parallel wirin, so shouldn't neative be hooked up to negative?

 

negative is wired to negative and pos to pos

i ran it one coil to a channel but i didn't like that

am i dumb?

 

the amp doesn't like it when u have one coil hooked up? that's odd. If anything, it should only be quieter and the amp should like it more since there are more resistance.

I'm guessing its your box. my 10w6s before i sold them sounded great to me. my box was small, but it was nice for what it was. lol

 

not just one coil two of the coil on 2 channels


it sounded good for a bit tonight then sounded crappy


ah hell, why didn't i just buy 2 good old 12 inch comp vrs

or a single l7!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

if you have a w6v1, i STRONGLY recommend a SMALL SEALED BOX, or it will sound HORRIBLE.

Bullshit!

 

nice ******* try mang! :knife:

 

smaller sealed box will yield a boomier sound and you'll get peaky response. Unless that's what you consider sounding good..

 

box fill?
