stock system/subs not loud

frontrowjoe20 · Feb 21, 2013

hey guys,
want to thank all of ya for the help. Finally got my subs in and it sounds real good. but its not LOUD. my other truck had a sony explode $70 radio with a CVR12. now i have the 8.4 touch screen with 2 cvr10s. my other system was almost twice as loud.

any idea why?

anything i can do to help this?

How about posting some usable info?

2 cvr10's and what else? What's running them? What kind of enclosure are they in?

Forums are great tools to get questions answered...if you give people some relevant info to work with.

Quad cab-I have 2 CVR10 2hms 400RMS(each) powered by a Kicker DX1000.1 stock 8.4" screen head unit

Regular Cab-before i had a sony explode 60watt with 1 CVR 12 2 ohm with a 500.1 soundstream amp

a DX10001 should be more than enough, if they are DVC 2's final imnpedance is 2 ohm, and thats roughly 500 watts each...what are gains set at, how big is enclosure, settings on HU?

frontrowjoe20 · Feb 22, 2013

Gain is 8 out of 11. bass+ is 9 out of 11.
today i was messing around with the setting. I used a PAC In put converter to do he wiring. it says to keep button pushed in for high fequency. when i click it off to low frequency the subs hit WAY harder. can i use the low setting or will this damage the subs?

well you want your subs to play low frequencies.
Those settings on bass and gain, it should be hammering, how big is your power wire to teh amp, and what is voltage AT the amp when your hammering it?

Sub= sub fequency. Why would you not want to run them at low frequency as thats what they are designed for?

frontrowjoe20 · Feb 23, 2013

im using 4 guage as recommended. I was almost wondering if the guy that did the install might have wired it with more Ohms than 2 which would leafve the subs underpowered. for now im running low freq. and sounds better. Thanks for all the input

I'm not clear on your sub voicecoil configuration, but I would def check the wiring, and have a look at the12volt.com or other good reference site to make sure the amp is loaded down to 1 ohm to make max power.
