I spoke to someone at American Muscle last night who was cleaning house to see if there was any full time spots open that could suit my needs. He seemed interested in putting my name out somewhere in there. He knows the least I could make too. Glad him and I were both on the same page.

Nice, that is a company I wouldn't mind getting in myself.

Bought a JL audio 10" w3 sub for 70 bucks with a box. The kid sold it thinking it was blown, but in actuality he had the polarities reversed so it didn't work. Hooked it up the right way and it works like a charm.

If you had an IT background I think that would b e someone they would consider trying to hire.

jpalamar · 12-13-2011, 02:13 PM

I couldn't do IT in a company. I would be annoyed too fast.

Reversing the polarity will have the sub fire inward instead of outward. not make it "not work"

IT Background you say..... I have one of those.....

jpalamar · 12-13-2011, 02:40 PM

I have an IB background (Information Bacon Technology)

grimm · 12-13-2011, 03:34 PM

so bored.

jpalamar · 12-13-2011, 03:36 PM

^ same. My boss is traveling this week and have nobody to even try to look busy in front of. And these dumbasses in the office keep spiking the thermostate to extremes. Its 78* in the office right now... to f'ing hot.

Thanks for clarifying that, either way it didn't work and now it does. However, now I need to mess with my amp as it heats up.

**Big_Jim** · 12-13-2011, 04:05 PM

what kind of amp are you running? you said its a 10w3, right? dual 2 4 or 6 ohm load?

I have a cheap setup, I am running a 2 channel Dual 400 watt amp. Its cheap but gets the job done, I also have it bridged. And the speaker I just bought I believe is a 4 ohm, its back home so I haven't hooked it up yet. I am actually more of a noob at this than anything, but since my amp is a two channel amp I have the outputs to the speaker setup so that the + comes from one channel, and the - from the other since I am running a single speaker. After I did it this way, the amp started to get warm, not hot, but warm. That normal? It sounds good and hits hard, but don't want to fry anything.

**Big_Jim** · 12-13-2011, 07:47 PM

well, it all depends on how the speaker is wired up, and what the ohm load is of the speaker.

dual 2 ohm you could come out with either a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load, dual 4 ohm will give you 2 or 8 ohm load, and a dual 6 ohm will render a 3 or 12 ohm load.... all depends on how its wired.

Edit:

basically, what i'm telling you to do is take the sub out of the box, and look at the model number on the magnet. the model number will tell you what the ohm load for each coil is, and then you can go from there.

ie: 10w3v2-2 would be a JL 10 w3 version 2 dual 2ohm load. 10w3-4 would be a JL 10 w 3 subwoofer, original version, dual 4 ohm load.

I hate being sick..

Thanks Jim, I am coming home tomorrow so I'll look at it when I get there. I ended up putting my current speaker to one chan as I went to pump the tires up and after 30 minutes the amp was warm and started to smell like new electronics, didn't want to risk it so I put it back to the way it was.

P.S. My goal is not so people can hear me blocks away, my goal is to have clean crisp sound meaning the bass doesn't overpower the vocals. I have a Kenwood HU with Infinity speakers.

I'm sick too. It's miserable. I wish it was warmer so I could motivate myself to drop my car a bit more...or even go hook up my battery tender.

Instead I'm about to watch The Mechanic. I'm sure it's gonna suck. I'll probably end up whacking off to porn on my smart phone.

russiankid · 12-13-2011, 08:48 PM

The Mechanic wasn't a bad movie.

and after that 30 seconds...

HickRocket1258 · 12-13-2011, 09:39 PM

Damn. So I was going to take the mustang to the dyno until I found out that the drain was leaking from the threads. **** just never stops and I keep getting one thing after another to keep me from getting to the dyno.

you're probably better off disconnecting it until you know what the ohm load is for sure, so you dont smoke your amp.
