Alright, thanks for the feedback guys:) I Guess I have to invest in a higher powered amp :)

Yeah, I know I need something more powerful to power it properly, just asking if it would be better to buy a cheap 6,5" or 8" rated 100-150W RMS, and if that would be louder than to power the 12" with the same amp?

It was the amp that came with the sub unfortunately. I know it is not very powerful, but it is all I got at the moment. It is this one: https://www.maxaudio.com.my/amplifier/6642-jbl-gt5-a402-gt-series-40w-rms-2-channel-car-amplifier.html And the 12" I already got is...

Hi. With a 120W RMS amp, 240w max, what would play the loudest from these 3 options: 12" 275W RMS Sensitivity: 92dB 8"  150W RMS Sensitivity: 90,2dB 6,5" 100W RMS Sensitivity: 88.8dB I would make the enclosure per the manufacturers recommendations I already have the 12" sub and the amp...

haha, I actually had a very similar setup 6 years ago. Tube amp and a 4*12

Thanks for the input.

Hi. Im going to make a simple speaker enclosure to have in my boat. I dont want to spend too much money and also only have the one battery (60amp car battery). I have a cheap 500w 4 channel  amp from Kenwood (KAC-6405) with these ratings: 4x40W@ 4 ohms and 130w x 2 bridged. Would you guys...

I`m actually mounting them in my boat. It is a 14ft daycruiser, and I was planning to build slanted enclosures, and put them under the deck. In terms of a budget I`m thinking 180$ for either 2 bigger speakers or 4 smaller speakers.

Hi. I have a 4 channel amp. It produces 4x40w RMS or 2x130W RMS bridged (Kenwood KAC-6405). I was wondering what would be the loudes option. I`m going to make enclosures for the speakers, but I am debating having 4 cheaper 5" speakers vs having 2 more expensive 6,5" or 8". I am running a...

Ok so you suggest running the y splitters out from the rear/sub outputs on the deck instead of front? I have read somewhere that you loose voltage when using y splitters, and was thinking if the sub probably needs more voltage than the other speakers?

Hi. I recently installed my first car audio system successfully. However my amplifier wiring kit did not include any type of connector or terminal to fit the binding posts on my sub. I just stripped the wire and tightened the binding post and it works like a charm. I did notice that a couple...

Thanks for all the input. I am fairly sure that it is a split crimp, but if you think that a little muscle is what it is going to take, I`ll try that first. cheers.

Hi guys. I am going to use a 4 gauge powerwire for my system and was wondering how to properly attatch the terminals without emptying my wallet. I live in norway and I can not find any store (online or in shops) an impact (hammer) crimper. A large crimper for 4 gauge+ costs around 100 usd in...

All Right! Cheers. U think regular (good quality) crimpers would work with 4 gauge terminals? Or do I need to use the kind that you hit with a hammer?

Hi. This weekend I am going to install my first ever "system" and I have got everything I need. However, when I consult my amplifier manual, it recommends 8 gauge power wire, and the guy in the store sold me an 4 gauge amp wiring kit. The terminals on my amplifier looks too small to feed the...
