u could put solder on the leads. i had a sub stop moving took it out and the tinsel was a little burned. but it was only near the base of the terminal slightly. its played for a good half year and still going now. i definitely didn't have it set up that correct thou when it happened(fixed that...

yea i was using 2 "duals" from a bandpass box that i gutted and put the ports from it into the new box (this was before i really knew anything about car audio and figuring out the difference between series and parallel was a challenge to me)i got a bigger amp and blew out a dual so i replaced...

i'll be posting all my pics of my setup in here, feel free to comment gotta take more pics but cam just went dead i'll load more later

i found some rubber belting stuff at macs that will work great to form to the box

is it ok to use cardboard instead of a fabric to fiberglass over? most of the box is wood and i just need 2 panels to curve and fit to the sub. i keep hearing that fabric will sag too much and i need cardboard so i was just going to go that way i am thinking... any comments would be useful

re check all of your wires and make sure its grounded to metal

$10 ground that i had to re-drill =/ (gave me a screw washer and nut... and drilled a hole and put anti corrosive stuff on it) so.... i dont really like local shops.. i think the installs should be free just because im buying it from you and not offline..

use terminal cups.... just make sure there are no air gaps.... unless you want a lot of work if you ever want to get the box out or re wire it... just caulk it up.

im in mn and just getting into this stuff as a hobby, going to first sound show in 2 days, i have 4 twelves and ~1200 watt rms with home made boxes and amp rack hopefully i won't look too dumb as its my first show.

you can try to open up your amp and see if anything is broken off (maybe where the rca cables are supposed to connect to the board) and solder it back into place, and same for the wire just solder some new ends on it or, re run the cable(take apart the panels where you can get to the wire and...

it has 3 30 amp fuses

i looked on kenwoods website and they said that the exalon 1200watt could be wired stable at 1 ohm but posted no specifications on what kind of power it produces. 800 @ 4 ohm 1200 @ 2 ohm ???? @ 1 ohm ------------------------------ if someone could give me a rough estimate at to how much...

go browse crutchfeild.com for some subs they usually have pretty good deals on some stuff. as to what you should get do you want 2 subs if so then match up wiring plan and the subs rms's to the amp that would power them the best without being overkill/expensive .(500 rms @ 4 ohm into 2 300 watt...

no its all wired good. the 2 8ohms were in parallel with each other and the single 4 ohm in series. so i took the broken speaker out and now i just have a single 8 ohm and that 4 ohm wired the same and sound great still just minus one speaker.

well one box all seperate air spaces and it was one of the 8 ohm one's that blew not the 4 ohm wired in series with itself to a 8 ohm load
