If you look close at some manufacture amps sheets they might have somthing that reads wattage measured at 14.4V. Try adding a 2farad capacitor.

I am rebuilding the sub enclosure. I thought of cutting the rear fire wall to the bed and porting to the cab, but I am not sure that is going to be too over the top. not that tack welding in the cut outs later is not possible if I wante to seal it back up, but I think its just too much for my...

Depending on your budget. I would run a rockford fosgate P400.4 or higher. I would recommend a 4 channel amp over a 2 channel. I am installing soon a p500.4 for the my door speakers. A p400.4 amp will easily run clean at 50WRMS 4ohm on each channel. Then just adjust the gain output at the...

I agree with L-N-L depending on your interest level, try building several box types, large ported, tight sealed, bandpass, etc.. JL stuff is a bit spendy to be messing with so insted of just replacing perhaps its not the box or sub at all. If you havn't already try using a dynomat or...

Use existing bolt or even drill a hole in a place that won't damage any fuel tanks, hoses, wires, leak water, or create a hole in a fender. I hope I covered all the places...any way the most important thing to do is sand the place you want to contact the ground wire to. If your using a...
