Does anyone on this forum own a 160v.2? How do these subs sound? I am looking for a sub or 2 that will go well with my RF 800.2 amp. I am open for suggestions on a Sub or set of subs for this amp. thanks

I listen to mostly rap, but also some heavy metal, so punch is a must!

4 gauge to the amp. the sound level is nowhere near as loud as the old head unit, it vibrated so much you couldnt see shit out of the rearview mirror. the side mirrors vibrated as well, and i do not notice this at all with the new HU. stock alt. is 105 amps at 2500rpm

the 800.2 fuse rating is 3x40amp. I lowered my gain to 1/4 and the 60 amp power wire fuse has not blown yet, although my lights dim like crazy, and its not turned up at all on the headunit, bass down all the way, loud turned off. my old kdg-110 HU made my lights dim, but only on real low notes!!! do...

interesting.....well ill turn my gain down and put my last fuse in....worst comes to worst ill be makin a midnight trip to WAL MART!!! ill post a follow up soon!

hey fuzzy, you lost me at line voltages....what exactly do you mean?? how many diff line voltages is there?

the gain is set at 1/2. just a question, but if the fuse didnt blow with the old JVC, why would it blow with the new one??? the head unit doesnt send that much power or signal to the amp does it?

the headunit is not powered by the d-block. I bought the harness adapter needed, and wired it accordingly. there are 2 power wires coming from my d block....one for my RF800.2 and one is for my RF200.2 amps. the fuse for my 200.2 is not blown, but the one for my 800 is the one that keeps blowing. I ...

Heres the story..... i had a jvc cd player for about 5 years, it quit working so i bought another one (different model, still JVC) I installed the new head unit, and now my fuse coming from my D-block blows after a few minutes. I know its not a dead short, obviously or the fuse would blow the second...

i think i may have figured out my problem. I removed my speaker wire going from the amp to the subs, and what i found was 2 strands of wire (16 gauge wire) connected to the speaker box terminal on the + one. im going to completely rewire my amp to sub wiring, hopefully this solves the problem. the s...

the amp is a rockford fosgate 8002, the HU is a JVC kdg-110, no processors.

I removed my subs from the box today and discovered the mesh/aluminum grilles (where the speaker says MAX, appears its used for thermal dissipation?) had come unglued and were stuck to the magnet. Does the magnet get hot? Hot enough to melt glue? Im just throwing questions out, maybe i was smelling ...

the speakers move freely, without any catching or scraping. the heat is coming from the cone. not hot, but warm.

Alright guys, i just finished testing the amp on 2 different volt meters, and they both say that there is no dc voltage coming from the speaker terminals on the amp. any other ideas?

thats what i thought you meant, but i was just checking!! when it comes to electrical, i check, check, recheck, and have another person check as well! however, he nor i seen anything wrong, but thats where the Volt meter comes in hand. Im going to the garage to test the amp, be back with results in ...

Am i reading the voltage of the amp or the speakers? 1more amp made it sound like i was testing the AMPLIFIERS speaker outputs, but you said test the speakers

this may sound stupid, but do RCA's have dc voltage?

How are his subs wired to the amp ?? What load and connection setup ? Have you checked the speaker terminals for DC voltage output with no signal going to the RCAs, and the amp just turned on without speakers connected either ?? This RF amp will put out DC voltage on the speaker terminals if its da...

subs are bridged to the amp and the subs are wired Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel, resuulting in a 4 ohm load. i believe 4ohm is the best i can get with my setup? i will check my amp for dc output when i get off work tonight, and post my results on the forum. Thanks for the ...

My subs worked fine, no clipping at all (to the human ears) until i installed my rockford fosgate 2002 amp for my highs. after installing the amp that runs my highs, i turned my gain down on the 8002 (subwoofer amp). this is when i started to smell the dreaded smell!

Ok, i understand bad grounds can blow amps up, but ive NEVER smelled anything before. I actually turned my amp down to a little less than 3/4 on the gain, and turned my HU from -3 to 0. Its a rockford fosgate p8002 amp, 2 15" 4ohm dvc subs in a vented box.

Is it possible for a bad ground on your amp to cause a sub to get hot? Thanks
