Need a little help!

Ok, well i need a little help. I built a box that was common chamber with two W6's and on some songs they would fight each other. Well i then put in a divider and they are still not in sequence.

However when i put in the divider i did not seal it up, could this be an issue?


All my wiring is correct as far as i know!!


any ideas?

It is a mono amp, and the sub that seems to get off balance is the one that the main feed goes to. they are hooked up parallel to a 1 ohm load.

No, just run individual spk wires to each sub.

Hello agian, well i ran each wire individual from the amp same issue. I took the box out and i am completely sealing the subs from each other. i think this will fix it.!!!

they wont move in sync with each other...


For example, one sub goes up, the other goes down. that's what mine are doing.

Sounds too me like you must have one wired out of phase. Check and recheck your positive and negative connections.

How exactley do you have them wired up?

My guess is you mixed up the polarity somewhere....or maybe the pos. and neg. are labeled wrong on the woofer too. Never seen it, but it could happen I suppose...

they only come out on sync on high volume and certain songs.

I have my back seat out once again trying to fix this issue.. all my wires are correct. i have went over and over it.. lol

i think its the box shape messing with the sub excursion. the side that has more is the one pushing up and the side with less goes down. i think it is creating a sucking effect as it goes up, pulling the other sub down.
