Wow, thanks for the overwhelming response, guys. So it looks like I fucked up in choosing to install the speakers. It seems like putting the factory back will be my best option since I am going for overall sound quality rather than volume. I could get my stockies up to just where I wanted them...

I recently got a full soundsystem intalled in my 2001 Ford Taurus. This includes: a pioneer headunit, a Kickerr 1000-watt amp, two 10" 4-ohm Alpine Type R subs, and (recently) 6x8 coaxial Kicker speakers. After installing the speakers, I noticed something odd....they seem to sound WORSE than my...

So what do I do to increase midbass?

I chose Besy Buy because I work there and get everything half off. I boguht the box at a car detailing/modding place called Tint Plus. I can upload a pick later on tonight. I could technically return them (i have 30 days) but we dont have 2ohm type Rs in store so I wouldnt get my discount. I...

Best Buy, dude. I guess the deal was, even though I am a paying customer as well, the installers were obviously too busy to take a GOOD look at the stuff I was ordering. I always caught them in between appointments. So yeah, I am kind of pissed about that. I got the IX1000.1 because I thought it...

Any Kicker suggestion for the amp (I have an employee accomodation)? Also, will that just make it more powerful or will it be more accurate /tight as well?

Maybe they are running it at 4ohms then, I'm not sure. I just really wanted these type r's to work. I thought I got the right amp but apparently not :/ They must be running at 4ohms.

It is an IX1000.1

I think that is what they did. They said that they just tuned the amp so it would be the best it could be without blowing the subs out.

After many hours of research and asking around on here, I finally got some stuff installed in my car. Here is the setup (as far as I can remember): Pioner HD Radio headunit Kicker 6x8 two-way coaxial speakers in front and back Kicker 1000.1 amp two 4-ohm 10" Alpine Type R subwoofers in a...

And yeah, I'd perfer to just get it local since I al anxious to get it installed (in fact, I had an appointment scheduled for Saturday...looks like that isnt happening). So basically, the thicker the better when it comes to boxes?

I got the Kicker on my employee accomodation; not only do they not allow returns that were ordered that way, but it was technically my fault for not knowing EXACTLY what I was ordering. I talked to our autotechs and they thought that it was an empty box too. The heading said "SUB BOXES" and then...

I ordered a sub box from Kicker...well, it came in the mail today. I was expected an empty, sealed box but what I got was a ported, loaded one. Whoops. So yeah, I already bought two 10" Alpine Type Rs to put in a dual sealed box so my question is this: Where is a good place to get a dual 10"...

So my dad has a '72 Mustang Mach 1 (nice, right?) and he was looking to install some new speakers since the old ones got blown out. I get a deal on Kicker products when I order through my workplace (Best Buy) so I was going to pick him some up. It would seem that 4x8 aren't very common at all...

I am getting Kicker speakers for both the front doors and the back above the seats. They are 2-way KS Series 6x8 Coax. I originally bought Pioneer 3-ways from Best Buy, but the Kicker are only about $5 more and I figured they will be better anyway. So that'll be my rig up front. Does KS 2-ways...
