[@billycalitz8887]

@@Onewheelordeal 🙈

[@paulEG6]

yeahitskimmel Pretty sure you’re joking, but....... The gain control adjusts the amplifiers sensitivity to the input signal from the head unit so the lower the the input voltage is, the more you need to increase the gain to compensate for this. Going too far causes the amplifier to cut off the peak part of the waveform (clipping) causing violent direction changes in the speaker voicecoil which generates a lot of heat build up and can lead to that lovely burning smell and a dead sub. Clipping also puts excessive loads on the amps power supply which can burn out the fets and also draws more current from your battery and charging system, neither of which are ideal. So that’s why you shouldn’t think of the gain pot as a volume knob👍🏻

[@gtgodbear6320]

I love building systems. I learned from all my mistakes the first time around and became professional by the second install. I don't know much about competition setups but it wouldn't be hard to figure out.

[@austinsears1637]

There's this awesome invention called a splitter cord/cable/wire/s also known as a Y-cord RCA SPLITTER Y-CABLES and then you have more RCA output and or input Jack's!!! We live, and we learn. :)) I wish I could actually listen to this awesome system!!! Great Job, Fella's!!

[@65oh7]

Reminds me of rewiring my Cavalier back when I had it to fix the sound system 3 times as parts from the Pimp My Ride era died in it. They decided to put some cheapo one way door speakers in the car with non crossover tweeters and run them from an Alpine amp. Well, that blew one channel, so they wired the whole front set of speakers to one side of the amp, but left the RCA connectors in the same spot. The two 10s were run off a Rockford Fosgate amp that was still good. Ended up tossing the 20 wpc Alpine POS and rewiring back to the 40 wpc Sony head unit, and running the sub out to the Rockford Fosgate. Really fixed a lot of problems until I found out the deck speakers were original and blew them with Alive 2007... Replaced those and blew the door speakers... Ahhhhh car audio, how I love/hate thee.

[@seanwoyna]

I appreciate Kyle and his friends because they build things like I do. Scotto and the others care too much. Kyle has true #aintcare mentality.

[@emmanuelreynoso5770]

I wouldn't have mounted the amp to the subbox, and if you absolutely have to, caulk those holes to stop air from leaking. Run your power independently from the RCAs to stop noise. Tune the amp with a multimeter. It's pretty simple with a KZbin tutorial. It'll save you from blowing the speakers. Good shit man. Love the vids.

[@AngryTurds]

Can't believe how well the kicker L7 series performed when they launched all those years ago. Wish I kept more of the items I farmed-out when we moved house. 😔

[@es4forty892]

You're going to need an upgraded alternator and you really should look into a drycell battery. I suggest downloading a free computer program called Winisd. It'll help you when building a sub box. Turn the volume to 30 and adjust the gain on the amp until you hear distortion then back it off just a bit. Easiest way to tune without a SMD DD1.

[@NVMDSTEvil]

unless your headunit max volume is 20, or 50, or 60... or who knows what. That is just horrible advice.

You need to look into grabbing an alternator with enough amperes output to deal with your AC/Heat/System, etc. You are going to CRUSH that alternator.

[@andersonboy77]

Second battery time.

[@eddiejohansen2338]

Dont foreget a fuse on the cord from the battery to the amp, As close to the battery as possible, 2-3 inches is enough. So you protect your stuff :)

[@ДжонПартлов]

@3:00....HOLY ‘63 split window BATMAN!!

[@madman__]

Also another tip. Don't mount the amp on the sub box. It will slowly destroy the amp from vibration. Also the amp can blow the crossovers if they aren't rated for the power. Speaking from my cousins experience. Blew all 4 crossovers and his hifonics Brutus 5500 watt amp. The deck can power the component systems easily

Idk if you will see this but try to get an inline fuse put on the power close to where its connected. Other thing is just optional just helps the speakers last little longer and less distortion to set the lpf on the amp or headhunt.

[@Yvolve]

Sorry to be that guy, but MDF is not great for a bass housing, as it's compressed sawdust essentially. Plywood resonates much better and gives a nicer tone, which is why guitar amps use it for the case. The crossover will rattle to pieces mounted like that, on the inside. It's all circuit board and solder, which isn't super strong, it's also nice to be able to access is to tune the setup. It allows you to tune how the lows, mids and highs are distributed. Make the wire only as long as it needs to be, it'll just rattle around and create wire breaks. Mount them to a surface as well to stop rattling.

[@thedude7726]
