Because for my system, I could get away with just one sub (not a ghetto blaster), and I'd rather not spend $350 just on the subs. Also, with my luck, getting two G5's (or two of anything for that matter) would end up being the reason my car would develop severe rattling, which with my obsessive...

OK well if I get the DVC version of this particular Boston G2 sub, what kind of amp am I supposed to match it up with as far as 2-channel or mono amp? If it was a 2-channel amp, you don't bridge it do you - don't you use one coil per channel on the amp or am I wrong?

Well if it's all about wiring and matching it up with an amp, this subwoofer project starts with nothing. I want to buy a sub, and an amp for that sub, whatever's needed to buy the best sub for my money. Does this make sense? I'm going into it just wanting the best, but am starting from scratch...

The only thing standing in my way of finally having a complete system is the addition of a subwoofer in my car's audio system. I'm looking at Boston Acoustic subs (and I probably won't be swayed - my front components, and rear deck are Boston), and I see for the exact same price on every tier...

Thanks to you both for your fast replies and knowledge.

If I switched the balance from zero (meaning L and R sides are equal), to R15 (meaning all the way to the right on my stereo, no sound from left side at all) - I am still only getting what's on the right speaker, just louder - correct? Meaning when I force right side only, it's not all of the...

I want to set the gain on my amp (which controls the front door components), but my head unit also powers and controls the volume of the rear deck coaxials. Should I turn the gain down (which mutes the front components), jump in the back seat and turn it up until the rear deck speakers sound as...

Hey. Theoretically, should 80 RMS watt component speakers, powered by an 80 RMS per channel Rockford amp (actual RMS output per channel of amp: 115 RMS) be at minimum twice as loud as 35 RMS watt rear deck speakers being powered by a 15 RMS watt per channel head unit? My new BAs sound great...

OK I was set straight by an employee of Boston. Apparently inside the woofer crossovers, the switch is physically labeled so it doesn't matter that the instruction diagram isn't. When I was speaking to him on the phone, he recommended setting the tweeters at 0db for the best sound, although...

2Wheeler, please help with the woofer crossovers. Looks like I too will need them set on off-axis - the speakers will be in front doors at bottom, towards windshield. The diagram of the woofer crossover off/on-axis with instructions only shows the switch, but not in relation to the crossover...

Thanks

I just called the place that is going to install them and they said they are going to use 16 gauge wire. Is this worth fighting over for 14 gauge? Would there be any difference?

HAHAHA

I'm not looking to shake anyone. I actually don't even want to "feel" anything myself. Just looking to add low end to my system, seriously no boom boom boom. Is a powered sub a good option or is that a compromised item made for trucks? I have a 4 door sedan, just want to add bass w/o having to...

I am running Boson SL60 components in my front doors from a Rockford 325.2 punch amp that's going to be underneath my seat. What gauge is best? Is there a point of diminishing returns (such as, "there is absolutely no difference for your application between using 14 or 12 gauge.") Also this is...
