My box is fiberglass and the sub doesnt sit really tight against the box on one section. there is a small area around the ring of the sub that i can feel air blowing out of, would adding some weather stipping to this section on the bottom of the sub ring help reduce the air coming through. when...

Im actually selling mine, its a dual 2ohm in a pre-fab kicker box, i currently have it wired for 1ohm. Im also selling a kenwood amp that is 1ohm stable if your interested.

I am leaning toward the type x because it can handle more power and i really want to keep my kenwood amp (best amp i ever owned) and i dont think the w6 could take the amount of power the amp gives out. would the sq difference between the subs be very noticable? i listen to mostly rap music and...

looking to get one of these two...looking for good sq but i still want my mirrors to shake. If i get the type x i will be using a kenwood amp 1800 watts. With the w6 i would probably look into a kicker 500/1 or something. any thoughts?

Yes i checked the fuze, the buttons are lighting up but theres no display or sound. The amps also not receiving power.

I was installing my new amp and i some how touched the 12v wire that runs to the battery to the ground wire and created a spark. The 12v from my HU ties into the 12v from the amp to the battery. After the spark my HU wasnt working. Could this have broke the HU or amp? Any ideas on how i can fix...

i have a JVC HU installed right now and im about to get a Alpine CDA-9886. Should i just go ahead and install a whole new wiring harness or can i just splice the old one and use it? Does it really matter? --sorry if this is a stupid question...

i kinda like that x693...any other thoughts???

thinking about buying this HU. looking for sound quality and mainly a easy ipod hookup that would allow me to use my ipod to pick songs or even an easy method of scrolling through the artists....the HU i have now only allows me to click through my artist and playlists and it takes a while...

Im using the Kenwood KAC-9104D to power my 12" L7. I have the L7 wired at 1ohm, the amp stated that it is 1ohm stable and it actually works really well with the sub, it gives it plenty of power but its getting really hot. After playing the sub at a reletively high volume for about 10 mins. the...

Im going to be using the Kenwood KAC-9104D amp to power a Kicker 12" L7. The enclosure the sub is in presents a 4ohm load, so i wanted try wiring it down to 1ohm to get more power, has anyone used this amp before or know that it is reliable to play continously at 1ohm? I have herd some people...

ok well its obvious i dont know shit about shit, so am i gonna have to rewire what they already wired in the enclosure or what?

i am aware of that, i just contacted them and they told me that it is the 4ohm model though. So i ordered that thinking it was the dual 4ohm model, which would be 2ohm wired in parellel but it is really simply the dual 2ohm model wired for a 4ohm load....so they should have called it simply the...

ok i guess im wording this wrong.....I think that onlinecarstereo.com stated that the enclosure I purchased is a dual 4ohm model, which i know will be a 2ohm load, but im saying that i think its supposed to be a 4ohm model, which would be a 4ohm load from a dual 2ohm sub. I am trying to find out...

my amp is 1ohm stable, and i want to get max power to my sub, and a 4ohm load will only allow 500watts RMS, although a 1ohm load will give it more power, is it not possible to wire 4ohm, down to 1?
