ok thanks for the help man will let you know how goes tommorrow

i have them in a sealed enclosure 1.0 cubic ft. with subs facing up

well today i fine tuned the amp so the clipping meter hit right below the red, however it doesnt seem that loud when sitting in the car it is enough to rock the mirrors and outside the car you can here bass and inside house you can here somewhat but it isnt much thump to it, if i run it in the red c...

Ok thanks for all the help swimmerdude and justin from detroit....will let you know how it goes when i get off work tommorrow and do that. Thanks again guys!

so basically like justin said turn my system up to the max volume id listen to it on any day and set my controls on the amp down right below the clipping and it should be ok?

well on mine i have bass boost screw to select the level of boost then i have a lpf which is set around 50 i would say and then i have a level screw, if i turn the level screw down what will that do? of course it is too late to mess with it tonight its about 11 here and my neighbors would hate me fo...

so i should set it so that it just goes under red, will taking it to a shop to let them fine tune it make it so i can give it more power before it clips or is that pretty much set because it clips out at somewhat low levels right now?

how long do you suggest then to make a good break in so the first time i crank them it dont damage them?...and also on my amp it has a clipping meter next to the volt meter it has like 5 blue lights then 1 red at the end if the clipping goes into the red is that bad?

i just put 2 new audiobahn alum10n's in my car im feeding them around 1600-1800 watts at 1.5 ohms with an 1800 watt audiobahn amp each speaker is 800 watt rms and 1600 max, how long should i run them low to break them in before i can crank them to the power they can handle?

today i wired them in parallel which brang them to 1.5 ohm and it worked with my amp i turned on the radio and there it was and let me add it is loud the loudest system ive had yet, now i have to fine tune it tho. thanks to all for the help
