Those boom mat baffles can kill bass with some speakers. They are in effect putting your speakers in really tiny enclosures. I have ran them to protect my door speakers from rain, but I cut a hole in the bottom of them to vent the speakers into the door cavity.

You definitely need a fuse on both ends of the power wire between the two batteries. Think about it. The power wire gets chafed and shorts out on something ( or, you have an accident) The fuse at the front battery blows. But the second battery is still shorted out. No rear fuse, I hope you...

I see that you’re in Bulgaria. Before I recommend any equipment for you, I need to know what brands are available in your area. I could recommend some great equipment for you, but if that brand is not available there, it does you no good.

Good luck. I ran those things back in the day. They all failed in less than 4 years. I don’t think many of them have survived this long.

I would remove the amplifier from the vehicle and pull the back panel off of it. Look for anything obvious like burnt spots or cracked solder joints. Or a cracked circuit board. If it’s not obvious and easy to fix on your own, then the amplifier is junk. The repair bill from an electronics...

In my last car, I ended up getting the best sound by not trying to get the sound to the drivers seat. Subwoofer was in the rear, so it was set at zero, rear fill speakers had a little bit of delay, and I increased the front delay till it sounded best.

Which amplifier do you have? There is more than one ‘mean machine 2500’. What is the model number? And how are you wiring the sub terminals to the amplifier?

Start by checking the battery voltage at the amplifier while it is cutting out. Most amplifiers go Into low voltage protection at 10.5v or 11v. Also disconnect the subs from the amp and measure the ohm load of the subs. Do you know the exact model numbers of the amplifier and the subs?

At this point you need a basic DMM. ( digital multi meter). It doesn’t need to be an expensive one. If you have a Harbor Freight store nearby you can get one for like $8 . Once you have it, ( or if you have one) we can help you with some basic troubleshooting...

I meant an average deep male voice. There are females that can get into the subwoofer range, but they are not the norm.

Start at 80hz High pass on the main speakers and 80hz low pass on the sub. I usually use a deep male voice to fine tune from there. If you’re getting a lot a voice through the sub, lower the sub crossover. If he doesn’t sound like his voice is deep enough, raise the crossover. If the main...

Milton Frank is ok during daylight hours. If want your car to keep its catalytic converter don’t be there at night.

you are going to need to give us some actual information about your setup to get a answer. How big is your factory alternator? Do you have any voltage drop now? What amplifiers are you using now? What amps are you looking at buying?
