d9 ?

on an rd D9, can I leave the bass knob out or should i turn it right and hide it? how low shouldn't i run that amp? i have it at 1.3 ohms and its loud. how does 1/3 ohm sound?

leave the knob out.

didnt waste any time will u be ready 4 baytown show

you have it at 1.3?

im running at .5 and you can go to .25 for bursts, what voltage are you running, because i have noticed that at 18v if you give them too much input they want to clip or at least mine do

13.5 strong. 2 kinetic 2400s and 1 1400 under the hood and 235 amp alt. i will start to collect 16 volt batteries.

i will. you? hope we can finally meet.

i am trying like hell if not will still go 2 show good luck

thanks bud.

what about a 13 volt line driver on that amp? yay or nay. every amp i hook it to clips. even all the way down.

no need for the line driver on the D9.

a line driver helps i heard
kenny coleman had a maxxlinnk on one of his well before the d9 it was the 7500 but he ran his amp just short of a clip, bobby price ran a max on his 4 d9's also an never had an issue. it just depends on the person an how much time you have to tinker with it cause its gonna take sometime to set it up.

ok education time fella's if you listen anyways

i run them at 18v/.25/with 5v of input/gains maxe out/lowpass maxed out/everything else is off now this aint the solution on music at all, but for burpssssss your good.

2 batts isnt enopugh for that amps not even close especially 2400's.

information is olny as good as you mke it its always your choice to use it or not

supa there is a world of differance from the d9 to the 7500, and the 3250 both those amps loved line voltage the d9 and newer amps dont

i know there is a world of difference jeff i was just trying to help but you are correct i heard the newer amps are okay for input voltage
but jeff help the man out cause i cant think of a better field tester of amps than yourself bro you have been proven right alot here man. thanks jeff

I gave my opinion on this already well here is a little more

if the batts drop below 10.4v they will clip as well so this is wheren battery power is a must

well the man has spoken cant take it away from him no his Dung Pile

I had 2 D9s with a 230 amp alt and 6 2400s + stock batt. and i could street beat a 30 sec run and keep voltage above 13 v at the end of the run. now just a reg song (not a 30 sec almost constant bass line) i could keep voltage above 13.8 all the time.
maybe that can give you some ideas . This was at .5ohm per amp.

yeah but since you have no way to check the amount of amperage in the batts at the end of that what was the drop in socre during that whole time??????????

ya see the more amperage you can maintain during a run the better off you are this is why the elite run a Dung Pile ton of batts voltage is nothing without amperage.

thank you sanman. i hooked it up at .33 ohms and you are right. right AT 10.4 it clips and loses 6 dbs. and it doesnt take very long to do that. again youre right. my next purchase will be as many batteries as I can afford. let me say this though. my little epic 160 ac mic has never said 154 even when a termlab does. that was with my 3 kicker amps. now it says 157. cant wait to hit up a real mic and confirm. that amp is the eargasm high i was looking for. gimmie a bit to get it all tweaked and whatnot. mabey i can get some numbers from these L7s everyone keeps telling me to throw away.

ill tell ya what I ran 3 d9's at .25 on 2 nsb 100's man and they stayed on batteries and battery choices mean everything in this sport.

i did 158.2 on the dash in my s10 on 3 d9's dropping to 10.6v

on 16 2400's 6 d9's it did 159.4 the same way

around .4 - .5 db

it did a 53.1 legal and 56.8 in the kick

Nice job !

thanks chris. now for the port adjustments we talked about. how come inside my box is lower than the kick? maybe i need port lessons. i dont think that should happen.

Some boxes don't pressurize as much in the port as they do in the kick. Sanman's S10 was like that.

Nice avatar! To bad you will have to change it so soon! Give me a call after 1:00!

yeah i could do 164 all day long in the kick, but in the port 158 lol

Were those scores @ 1.3 or .33?? Nice gain.

.33 it'll do 55 at 1.3. (not confirmed on a tl)

i ran it hard for 2 hours yesterday @ .33. im surprised it did that. these woofers look like they are moving further than they are supposed to. I actually had to move my seats up a click to get out of their way.

what subs are you using
