Nice video brother. I just installed a kicker 1200 and had my bass boost all the way 😂. Thanks for the advice. Im getting an epicenter next week. You should guide me through a tune 😅.

[@Zachecker]

thanks for the love an epicenter is a great add on to a system, unfortunately i have not used one before

[@brucecobb7572]

Good video!! Highly need for rookies😂 Thank you

[@Zachecker]

Indeed.😂

[@anvildesignartphotographyl5646]

step one, turn the speakers around. this effectively turns your speaker box into a bandpass speaker box, basically turning your trunk into a speaker box :) i mean, it's easy enough to try both directions.

[@Zachecker]

In my car it’s louder facing the front and port on the side. They is a constant debate in the car audio community. But I have tried both ways and front in this case woks better

[@anvildesignartphotographyl5646]

ported box? the one in the vid looks sealed.

[@Zachecker]

@@anvildesignartphotographyl5646 the port is hidden on the right side 👍

@@ZacheckerI want a 3000 watt amp, but can’t decide between timpano/PRV/taramp? What would u recommend ? I’ve heard things about taramp going up in smoke if the voltage isn’t exactly 14.4V Also, thinking of American bass vs resilient sounds gold 12 V2 What do u think ?

[@Zachecker]

@@MegaJohn334 I’ve had both taramps and timpani. PRV audio owns timpano but Stetsom makes timpano amps. I would definitely suggest timpano over taramps my taramp lit up in smoke. And American bass for sure. American bass just has a great reputation and if you get the elites rn they are lik 160 on amazon. They will not blow on a 3k ima put mine on a 5k

[@xeran_yt]

Hey, quick question do you have a battery isolator between your front and lifepo4 battery? I'm pretty sure if you mix lead acid and lithium it can damage your batteries and not mix correctly. If I'm wrong let me know

[@Zachecker]

I have an ultra capacitor but not isolator. Based on my research the mix should be okay.

[@xeran_yt]

@@Zachecker what the ultra capacitor?

[@Zachecker]

@@xeran_yt B Stock IOXUS 12V Group 31 Smart Power Bluetooth Ultra Capacitor. It helps with voltage drop. I made a vid on it.

[@tonymccoy761]

Can i ask you something i have a AR Boss 4000 w amplifier do i need Bass boost or not and do i need sub s on this amplifier

[@Zachecker]

No bass boost. You can put subs on that if you want to

[@tonymccoy761]

How do i set level on this amplifier and subsonic on this amplifier

[@Zachecker]

Level is gain. I showed how to do it in the video

[@danks2real314]

where did you set your stereo volume?

[@Zachecker]

Stock stero is max that’s what I play it at

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

I run a jp23v1.5....and a single american bass xr 12 dual 2 ....and i have my subsonic ....bass boost ...etc. all set on 0 or turned off ....and i have a voice coil going out ......i do have a upgraded alt ....big 3 ....0 guage frame grounds ....have really good voltage ...need add a small back up batt...but its not a must have ...but i do wonder if having my subsonic and bass boost set at 0 caused this to happen ....i have clip indicator and i try to never let it clip ....idk ....seems like the spider or voice coil was weak or bad from day i opened the box and installed it ....contacted american bass but where i bought it off ebay and not direct from them ...they havent wanted to warranty it or even reply to a email ....i even offered to pay to have it repaired .....not response .....think i am going to go with sundown or resilient possibly sound quebbed for my next sub .....

[@Zachecker]

Could you describe exactly what is wrong like do you hear something wrong with the. Subwoofer? Like rubbing, weird noise? If so it probably came as a slight defect. And the people you bought it from should take it back for money back or replacement. Now I have heard some good things about the xr so I wonder if it is a defect. Now if this gets you off American bass fully the subwoofer I would recommend would be the timpano tpt 2500 it won’t break the bank. On Amazon the d2 is 180 bucks I made a video on it and it is one of my favorite subwoofers. It gets lower than the American bass and I am thinking bout buying one more to replace the elites for a while. But my elites have never let me down just wanted to switch it up. But if you want really high quality just go with sundown they have the best reputation in the game. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment

[@Alexlivingloud]

Is your box ported? If it is ported and you have subsonic filter off or too low then that caused your sub to play lower than it was supposed too causing damage to the sub.

[@Zachecker]

@@Alexlivingloud it’s ported. Yes my subs play low and no it will not cause damage to them I’ve had it like this for a year no issues

[@Alexlivingloud]

@@Zachecker sorry, i was replying to the original commenter about him having subsonic filter off.

[@Zachecker]

@@Alexlivingloud gotcha. 👍

[@rubenflores2870]

Bro I like your videos but why don't you use tones to set your subsonic and your LPf and it looks like your speaker wires are backwards you have a positive on the negative but doing a good job bro 34 test tone or a 32 HZ test tone for your subsonic and a 80 test tone for your LPF I use this method all the time and it works out perfect even with a voltmeter 💯🔊😎

[@Zachecker]

Thanks for the love my guy and that is my cheap ass Using red wire for both and heat shrank black for the negative. Don’t worry they are correctly wired it may be the angle of the camera bc I never show the other side of the amp. 🫡

[@Zachecker]

And normally I would use tones but I have already tuned this amp before so Ik where to set it. It was too hard to record and set the tones at the same time. I tried to make it as easy and quick as possible to understand. 🔊👍

[@rubenflores2870]

Great job bro 💯🔊

@@rubenflores2870 thanks man 😃
