Thanks for all of the tips guys. I tried for a while to see if the remote wire would work from any other place, I had it on the stereo's constant, the switch, I put it against the + on the battery, and the power would either come on for a second and go away, or not come on at all. I was...

alright, I have the power and ground hooked up to the amp in the passport (where I know it works) I just ran the RCA and remote wire from the head unit in the grand am, the power light on the amp won't come on. does this mean the head unit is screwed? It was a good deal, maybe 50% but it was...

It's possible that there's an MTX amp out there that's better than this JL amp, but in the case of the 2 amps I have, the JL is far superior. The MTX is probably 7 or 8 years old and has taken some damage to the body, it's one that my buddy gave me that he got from a pawn shop. It's possible the...

I took the sub and amp straight from my other car, so I know it's not either of those. The original amp that I wanted to put in this grand am car was a JL 500/1 but once I had it installed it wouldn't stay powered on for more than 10-20 seconds and even then the sub was hitting very lightly, so...

I just installed a sub/amp in a 99 pontiac grandam, but it won't hit to the music, as I adjust the gain and freq on the amp it eventually just starts pulsing or vibrating. At first I thought it might be the remote wire, so we ran a new one, but it's having the same problem. Amp: MTX Blue...

Is the big 3 upgrade necessary for a setup like this? I have everything wired but the subs only hit for about 10-20 seconds at a time and then they'll go off for about 30 and come back on. I've never had to do the big 3 but I've never had an amp that was rated this high.

Yup they are dual voice coil. Glad that's all figured out, thanks for the help habit

alright great, so with the ++-- on the amp I just use 1 + and 1 - like ++ --?

http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42 I'm guessing like this?

I'm not sure which way to wire these subs, I've never had a monoblock amp before and the subs I had previously didn't have the 2 sets of connectors.

The opening is so small. It's a pain to get a box in there. I have a couple different boxes already and the biggest we could get to slip in was 13 deep x 27 wide x 13.5 tall

so nothing personal to you bad @ss chevy, but I don't know anyone on here so I would like a 2nd opinion, should I stick with about these numbers? ported or sealed? or should I just talk to mobieous about this, I'm already talking to him a little

Yeah that pretty much sums up my reasoning perfectly. thanks

I just feel like I could make it look better and would be easier to rearrange if needed

What's the difference that it makes to have 2 subs in the same box for ported instead of seperate boxes? wouldn't they be in there own chambers anyways?
