    Thoughts on American Bass XR 12" Better options?

    OP, if it were my car and you have the ski pass....I would follow this advise. A good 4th order design ported through the ski pass. you wont have a complaint. Ive run sealed or 4th orders for most of my builds. I personally like the bandwidth and sound of sealed knowing I do give up output if...

    sub selection for kicker key 500.1 already wasted a kicker 8"

    forscan wont hurt, but dont think that is really the issue. People go into forscan to get a flat signal out. You also have key which does some adjustment to the output. Again, you could look at it to see if Ford put some big peak or boost somewhere.

    Super/Ultra Capacitor v. Second AGM Battery

    are these funny about voltage? I saw that OP said Resting voltage 14.1. Moderate play can drop to mid 13s. I am learning this world and see some say your resting voltage is too low for certain brands/set ups.

    sub selection for kicker key 500.1 already wasted a kicker 8"

    I mention this as it sounds like some of the issues you are having may be because the sub doesnt like the factory enclosure. If I remember correctly, kickers like a larger ported enclosure across most of their lines. If you are using the factory enclosure, might have to match a driver to the...

    sub selection for kicker key 500.1 already wasted a kicker 8"

    what box are you using with the 8"? Did you place this in some factory enclosure or is it in a custom/prefab box of some type?

    a decent 12" that will can run in 1 cube sealed

    Beyond SI, what are some decent 12" subs that will work in a sealed 1 cube box? Like to stay under 300 bucks and have about 800 rms from an old school rockford amp. I also believe Image Dynamics could do this, but what are some others.

    Audible difference between AB and D class - four channel?

    you wont hear it. If you are comparing ab to d across the same brand along the same price points, wont tell. I have flipped between class ab and class d. The only time I could tell the difference was going from a very good old school class ab to a mid tier class d. The reality was that was not a...

    Featured Good old 12" Robot Underground sub

    his youtube stuff is soooo all over the place, never knew what to think about him. Half is videos are something wacky happening around his workshop or with him, the other half telling how stupid people are for buying something other than what he made or endorsed. He also seems to have a weird Im...

    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    https://customspeakerpods.com/product-category/vehicle-select/chevrolet/silverado/1995-1999-silverado/ https://www.qlogicenclosures.com/collections/q-logic-enclosures/chevrolet+c-k-1500+1995 Lots of ways to get larger midbass up front but I think a 6.5 fits in the doors fairly easily.

    WOOFER PLACEMENT IN 3 WAY SYSTEM

    If you are looking for stage, completely ditch the speakers right by your head. As others have mentioned, get the biggest midbass you can fit in the door and I would fit a larger format tweeter. Stage a lot of time is helped the lower the tweeter can play and meet up with the midbass. Use your...

    Why not component in the rear?

    run them if you like. I have never run rear fill except one time but dont hate on it and have sat in many a car or truck with it and. The time I had it was a set of full range on a rear deck with a bandpass crossover so it didnt get up into the high range.
