    Rear Deck Speakers?

    I'm not familiar with some of the lingo, but if you're talking about the subwoofer, it's an all-in-one powered sub enclosure package. It's a 10" sub, with a 300 watt RMS class D amp. https://www.crutchfield.ca/p_575P30010/Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P300-10.html?tp=73251

    Rear Deck Speakers?

    That's kind of what I suspected Cliff. I'll just take those back speakers out. Also there's an cutout for a free air sub in the middle of the rear deck. So that'll be even more opportunity for the main cabin to benefit from the sub. The Pioneer amp. is 215% physically larger than the Kenwood...

    Rear Deck Speakers?

    I've got a 2016 Chrysler 200 LX with a basic factory sound system. All there is for speakers are front door and rear deck speakers. It's pretty sad. I don't know what the front speakers are, but the rear deck speakers are 15 watt and made in Mexico. Like I said, it's sad. Being on a pensioner's...

    Amplifier Output Power Longshot

    This could be a real longshot. But does anyone happen to know what the RMS output wattage would be for a 2016 Chrysler 200 basic factory amp? The lowest of the low, 4 speaker system.

    Enclosure Size

    Ok, thank you very much. I think your right when you say RF has it figured out. I'm good to go!

    Enclosure Size

    That's kind of what I was thinking. Am I right to think that the reason for that would be less movement of the cone in a small air space, compared to the cone in a larger air space, with the same output being applied to the sub? If it is, the difference would be so subtle I likely wouldn't...

    Enclosure Size

    They're both 10" powered subwoofer enclosures. Sub/Amp/Enclosure, all-in-one. Everything is identical except that one enclosure is larger, and therefore has 14% more volume of air. Will there be a significant sound difference between the two? And describe what you think that difference might be...

    Enclosure Size

    I need some advise. I've never had a subwoofer, in my car, utilizing an enclosure. I've only ever had a subwoofer as determined by my car manufacturer's 9 speaker Alpine system. I think it was a 6" or 8" free air sub. Now I have a newer car, with a very basic factory system, that needs bass. I...

    Wire Gauge?

    Thank you. I suspected that #8 would be good, but hearing it from someone else is good too. And actually I just noticed in the amplifier spec., that it comes with a remote (dash-mount) bass boost control. So I think I'm good to go.

    Wire Gauge?

    I'm pretty green at all of this, so be patient with me. I'm putting a sub in the trunk. My son is giving me a JLW3v3 4 ohm subwoofer. I'm planning to use a Pioneer GM-D8701 amp. The output of the amp at 4 ohms is 300 watts RMS, or at 2 ohms it's 500 watts RMS. Can I comfortably use a #8 awg...

    Powered or Pre-loaded?

    I see you like to cut right to the chase. That's good. I don't like ****in' around too much either. Thanks very much for your advise in all of this. That's a lot of good info. you gave me. I'll be doing some serious digging. Just to confirm. Would you say that the equipment I listed was...

    Powered or Pre-loaded?

    Many thanks again Jeff, I think it's pretty obvious by now, that I'll be getting all this stuff professionally installed. So I just need to know exactly what to unload on them. I think I'm getting a grip on what you're suggesting, but I just need some confirmation before, and if I order. I'm up...
