why did you have to take the amp out to put the head unit in? Didn't want to buy the adapter? in all honesty the factory amps now a days are usually better than deck power. they are still not as good as aftermarket amps but they have come a long way. I kept my factory amp and ran infinity...

I would go 12's sealed for what you are looking for. Porting will always give you more output on a certain frequency but will not give you the ability to play all frequencies well. most rock is not 36hz base. there are quite a few subs that can be had for $150. the magnet diameter could be a...

If you are smelling them the voice coils are burning. I have toasted a set of type R's before. Depending on the generation of sub some of them are not good at thermal power handling. Mine were in the trunk of my mustang and so by the time I smelt the issue it was too late. They sounded great...

10" box or 12" box? amp I would run a class d at 750-1000w. there are honestly tons of good amps for this. MTX, rockford, memphis, the new alpines are nice and small but I have not run them. As for subs I have the mtx thurdorm but I ran into issues with the magnet size. I have 10" kicker...

Well I will be adding a rear subwoofers to the car. the stock system just has 10's in the doors. they produce all bass. midbass and subwoofer. so right not the midbass output is the best in the world as a 10" speaker is really not "mid bass" IMO. I need to pull the pull the door pannel if...

Well I can put the tweeter where every I want if I buy a complete 3 ways system.

well if the amp light is off it is not the rca's if the amp is off verify voltage on the remote line. if there is 12v on the remote line, and the batt input verify ground. most amps have a protection LED or dual color on led. yours does not if I read the manual correct. it did not say...

my .02 If you are going for "rear fill" don't use components there. buy a decent set of rear speakers and gain the correctly. rear fill is never ment to center stage the the listener so to speek. you need less power and output there. Some will disagree with me I am sure you have to decide...

prefab box is .65cf. have you heard them before?

I just bought a corvette and am goint to try to run two 10's but obviously they will neet to run in .6cf or so. I have not bought an amp yet I will most likely do the alpine pdx-1.600 or 1.1000 depending on the subs I choose. what are the best options right now? I will most likely have custom...

The PDX amps are class D and somewhat of an odd design because impedance does not affect output. 2ohms or 4 ohms they have the same output. I think JL mades some amps like this as well. you get x amout of watts and that is that. so there is not reason to bridge anything. I am looking at...

For the record the bass sounded clean (to me) when i blew mine but the were rear firing into the trunk of the car. obvioulsy I overdrove them don't get me wrong but they sounded good wile being overdriven. if you have nicer subs like type r's they don't always distort as much as you think they...

The biggest benifit of class d to the consumer is cost and effecincy. Fewer components, smaller footprint, better effeciency can equal smaller heatsinks, etc. they are a switching amp which stores up power to use instead of burning it into the heatsink but switching can be noisy so you can...

I obviously am not smart but never claimed to be. I have blow up type r's with sub channel on my old memphis belle. Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

I am looking for a nice set of componets for my corvette. it has 10" speakers in the doors so I think I could do a 3way system if I wanted to. I have been looking at polk momo MMC6500 $150 (more budget approach) boston acoustics pro 6.0 $275 (had pro 6.5's in my mustang) then I notice a...
