Yup I have an mb quart dsc 1000.1 and the protect light is definitely unlit.  I'll try that too.  I'm tired of messing with it I just want it to work.


haha yeah shit sucks when it doesnt work man and the DSC is awesome I'm upset they stopped making them D: if your amplifier is putting out power and your subs not blown I would check your ground with the DMM also

Yeah I absolutely love it when it works. I have a dsc with a swr1242d in a box tuned to 33.6 2.03 cubes. It was perfect for my preferences in my old car.

How much power did you give the 12"? You could probably have gotten away with a 1.5ft^3 box and it would have sounded better I've also found type r's like around 35hz tuning. I've found with a slightly smaller box you're able to throw an extra 200-300rms to a ATR which is how it works with most subwoofers the reason I ask is if you had been underpowering the subwoofer or given it rated a 2ft^3 box would be perfect I usually don't go over 1.5-1.75 per 12" in almost any situation.

Yeah I just had someone at caraudio.com make it for me and he's made a ton of enclosures so I just told him to go with what he feels is best. I don't have the tools or the space to make them myself.


It may not be a perfect match but its definitely good enoough.

Even IF thats true (Which it isnt), 1300-1400 is still more than 1000.


Problem is he won't see constant 14.4v and that ap will clip his subs to shit causing a short death I ran an ap1500 for a year my dc does more power at lower voltage and only cost like 100 more in the audio world 100 for an upgrade like that ain't shit
