So is it okay like Looney Tune says, or is something wrong? Roughly 2 more hours of play and still no problems.

The amp does have a "protect" LED which is supposed to light and shut down the amp if the impedance detected at the speakers is too low.

Yes, I only have one sub. So basically I got a bad combo. A friend of mine was quitting Best Buy and he picked these out for me and got them on his discount before he quit. I guess in a way he kinda screwed me although they were both over 50% off the regular price. Ok, what about this...

Ok I'm pretty good at electronics, but this is my first amp/subwoofer install. I thought I had things under wraps, but as soon as I looked in the users manuals I got confused because they're each for like 10 different models that are similar. Here's what I've got: 1) Punch P3002 - 300 Watt...

Ok I'm coming up w/ some high numbers for port length. I may have figured out why you have "WOW" in your signature. The lengths I'm coming up with are nearly 5". Unless I need to do something different for two speakers.

To figure out the "acoustic power of the driver" do you use RMS or max watts for "Pe: ___ Watts" Did you use 3" or 4" PVC? I'm going to keep reading, but I may have trouble calculating w/ a bend in the port. I'd guess that if the ID of the elbow is the same dia. as the straight tube that you...

I currently have a bid on ebay for two JL 8W3-D4 subs. I thought I was bidding on two 8W3V2-D4 subs. What's the most you would pay for two new 8W3-D4's? What's the differnce between the two? If you have any ideas or comments please post. There's less than 24 hrs. on the auction.

Thanks man. I just got off the phone from ordering two RE8's. I also have a bid on and am currently winning a pair of JL W3v2's on ebay. Oh well. If I win them I'll be able to compare for myself.

Every page on this site loads twice for me. I visit many web sites and many other message boards and this is the only site that I have this problem with. Anyone know why?

One says Alpine and the other 3 say Ford, but I think it's obvious that they're all identical. They're out of Lincoln Navigators. Not sure what I'm going to do with them. Anyone interested?

Sorry. I understand everyones situation, but my post was already 3 pages back with no replies so I figured by that time nobody would check that far back to ever reply to it. Thanks for your response. Whout would the sound difference be between a RE SE 10 and 2 RE8's? What is your opinion on...

Ok 2 more questions. 1) Can you recommend a program or site where I can learn how to properly port my box? 2) I went to a local shop (Truck Trendz) today and heard a 8" JL W0 and W3. In your opinion... how do these compare to a RE8?

Dupuius, Thanks. I really appreciate the time you took to answer all my questions. What you said in the other post about thinking I was settling with RE's was correct. The difference in price, size, RMS, etc. just seemed too good to be true, but I think I'm going to try a pair of those. I...

I guess nobody here can help. Either that or they just don't want to.

I've been trying to learn a lot about car audio now for about 3 weeks. Basically I want to know for myself that I've made good purchases for what I need/want. I just found this site about 1 week ago and it seems that there is a lot of knowledgable people here. The problem is that I am still...
