Sub question

[AdamWhy]

i have a boot enclosure..and lately the subs are sounding sleightly distorted...could this be lack of power to the amp? coz they wouldnt have blown as the amp is not powerfull enough....any ideas??

[jimbo232]

would like to know size/type of enclosure, how long youve had them and what they are

hi, its a custom fibreglass enclosurew with 2 vibe black aire subwoofers 12" at 1400 watt each...powering them is a 2000watt 4 chanel amp...which is not even on full gain.... they sounded good befire but recently atfer usaing it alot...(battery draining also) they have a sleight distortion....maybe not enough power to the amp??

i may be being stupid as im not amazing with audio but could the earth be a bit rubbish like has it come lose or out?

[CWD]

VIBE stands for VENTED INNOVATIVE BASS ENCLOSURES...

...basically, they are OK subs - in the PERFECT enclosures, thats why they sound so good and deep etc. however, you take them out of the enclosure and they will perform worse. no if's or but's there. but anyway, thats not what your problem is lol

they could just be wearing out mate, they dont last forever, expecially vibe stuff. i run some 2 subs off a REAL 1112 wrms @2ohm ,and they only lasted about 2 weeks. the power figures they give are crap.

i'd check all conections, se if your earth has wobbled loose, as suggested ^

vibes never given me a problem before...the enclosure is tune for the sub...ie adding litres of grain to find the capacity and tuning the port hole just right...i have just added a second amp (poqwer birdges from the other amp) and my subs souns distorted?? whast the correct lpf / hps setting for the amp?? thanks for the responses guys...

[CWD]

"distorted"... do you mean they sound like they're farting?

[AdamWhy]

kind of... its not the deep bass they used to be...maybe my amp is not set to the correct lph / hpf etc??

[CWD]

well check the amp settings - but they shouldnt magically change...

LPF filter at about 60 Hz imo
