Youll want a good 4 channel amp in the neighborhood of 75 watts per channel. Rockford Fosgate, Alpine, MTX and Kicker would all be good ones.

Thats what ticks me off the most, losing 4000 posts!!! Im nothing if not for my post count. :cheesygrin:

Sealed is my favorite. Sound better and more forgiving of design flaws and such. Ported boxes are louder but only at a certain frequency that theyre designed for but the problem is that they tend...

Yes, you can and itll be fine. Those are "nominal" impedance ratings. Theyll fluctuate around and wont be that all the time. But yes, itll work just fine. Dont sweat it.

Those were the days huh? All of us on here all the time talking about every little thing we discovered with our systems that day. Josh and Thom hanging out with us too. Now theyre gone along with...

I think a lot of stuff got deleted. My post count is like 3,000 short of what it was a few months ago. I PM'd Patrick and even posted a thread in the Clubhouse asking but never got an answer. Not...

The DB's are better speakers and you should always get the best speakers you can afford. Id get them and give them a try. If you just have to have more subbass, then you can look into adding an amp.

The 660, 880 and that series arent that great. Id avoid them. Their new D line of amps seem to be pretty good. Im a big fan of class D amps because theyre so much more efficient and best of all,...

Youll be fine. It wont push them to their fullest potential but theyll still sound good. Now remember, the DB's are meant to work with a sub and your stock speakers are meant to sound good without a...

Best way to check is to hook them up to the opposite side speaker wires. If it still doesnt work then its the speaker itself which is what I think it is. Sounds like the tensile leads are...

Why not go without rear speakers altogether and just use comps up front then get a good 5 channel amp. Something like the JL 900/5 or 700/5 for example. Those things are tiny and would fit under...

How are you going to mount this? You do know that a free air sub still has to be sealed off from the back wave right? Free air subs are meant to work sitting out in the wide open. Theyre meant to...

The same principle as corner loading in home audio. Gives you a little more output but at the expense of a little bit of clarity but unless youre super picky, you wont notice it. The benefit to it...

LOL! Yeah, I think youre right.

Build it down firing and it would work pretty well. Not as good as your 12 of course but it would give you a good bit of sub bass so you wouldn't feel like youre missing out on sound.

400 watts isn't that much. I think you're expecting too much. That'll be enough for good solid bass but it will NOT be enough to drown out your conversation.

But yeah, check your settings to...

Sealed only for me. Ported is better for volume but the difference is that ported boxes are built around a certain frequency and so it pounds that out but it means a hump in the response as output...

Class D is just fine. The people that say otherwise are also the same people that swear they can hear grass grow. When Class D amps first came out they had a lot of distortion in the upper...

Don't need 1/0 ground. Power wire coming in is 4 gauge so that's whats going out.

What amp did you settle on? The Alpine?

If you think you might be adding an amp in the future, go with 4 gauge. Get the OFC wire if you can. Its a little more expensive but well worth it. If you decide to add another amp, grab a distro...

I don't like the Alpine Class D amps cause theyre riddled with noise issues. Their AB amps like the one I linked are very good especially for the money. I ran a pair of them back around 2002 when I...

You know that's actually pretty damn cool. Im gonna look into that one. Sound quality judges are always cranking the volume up as high as they can and Im always worried about clipping. Ive always...

I think it can work pretty well with just the sub running off the amp and your speakers off the head unit. You'll also have a pretty good amount of sub output too. If you're liatening to music and...

This is the weirdest thread. 3 paragraphs of "I have no money so don't you F'ing judge me!"

Don't be so defensive brother. This isn't one of those juvenile car audio forums where you're flamed if...

At this price point, all the major brands are really going to be about the same. Its not til you get into the higher end models that their differences start showing and the better ones start pulling...
