i have a pioneer 12' sub and i dont remember what model but i know about 600w max can go to it, and i have two of those powered by 1000w pyramid amp. the problem is, that whenever i turn the car one, you can hear the door chimes through the sub, i have no idea how to fix this... also, is that too much power going to those subs? any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ashley

Chances are there's enough power going to the subs, just being the fact that the pyramid amp is only 1000 watts max, and well thats not the rms rating so thats not what it will actually put out. And I don't know about the chime, never had to deal with something like that yet, so sorry I can't help with that part.

I just had an idea however but I need to know what year and model your car is please.

its a 2000 coupe

also, it is a stock cd player. I also want to fix the voices coming out of the sub because someone told me that it would ruin the subs. I don't know if these subs or the amp or what but i just think that the more the chimes go through it that maybe they might be ruined and id have to buy new subs..... any info would be really helpful, i might just even scrap the whole system and sell it and get a new one. its bad enough the box barely fits in the trunk lol

sounds like you dong have a crossover on your amplifier so your subs are playing full range, wich is bad for subs. check on the amp to see if there is a lowpass switch.


as for the chimes in your subs do you have your rca's ran from a high to low converter that comes off of one of the stock stereo speaker wires?

Problem Solved

thoes are some decent subs its not thier fualt

it does have a switch that does say HPF LPF and full but when i put it to LPF you can still hear voices... and yes i do have rca's running to a box where i had to put all my wires in, i dont know whats up cause its never done this before... thanks a lot for all of you that reply though, i really appreciate it.

There should be a LPF adjustment, somewhere from maybe 50-200ish. Adjust that knob lower so the voices don't play. Put it around 80 or 90.


Beat it like it owes you money

i've tried it before but no luck, i think im just screwed.

if you adjusted the crossover down and your still getting voices its either screwed, or a very shallow (cheap) crossover and theres not much u can do about that.
