    which way to face subs

    Subs up or forward does not make a big difference - both configurations ****. Subs toward the the back of the trunk is the only way to go IMO - have to get some sound deadening tough. Sorry, digital cam broken, so no pics.

    which way to face subs

    I have a 2000 accord. Facing up sounds even worse!

    which way to face subs

    Yes, if you want to face them toward the cabin, you MUST seal off the trunk from the cabin. This is a pain in the a$$. I have tried to accomplish this (and am still working on it), and I only have a few more gaps to close, but I do not believe it will make a large difference. Right now, with the...

    which way to face subs

    With the seats up or down, it will sound like doodoo if you face the subs toward the cabin. I have just done this experiment. Face them towards the back of the trunk and buy a "trunk kit" from Dynamat or someone else....

    Soundstream Rubicon 1000-2 or Soundstream Picasso 2.880 ?

    I just installed a Rub1000-2 and it does not draw more current than my PG 600Wamp. I have a stock alternator and the lights only dim slightly. Nice amp!

    W7 firing from trunk into cabin - good idea???

    I heard from various sources that I will get good results if I turn the box around and fire into the cabin through the "ski" hole. I understand I would have to seal off the trunk from the cabin so only the woofer "sticks through". I would use my current amp rack, move the amps to the sides, cut...

    Setting gains on amp

    I have a PG MS2125 amp rated at only 2V input. My HU puts out 4V. I e-mailed PG and they told me to set the gains "as normal" basically just ignoring the 2V limit. I am now wondering if this is adding distortion/clipping to my syetem as well when I exceed 2V input.

    Need amp for 10W7 ~800W 3ohm, ~1600 1.5ohm. Any suggestions

    Right now I have a 10W7 in a sealed enclosure. I need a new amp which will give it at least 800W at 3ohm. If I upgrade later to two drivers, the same amp should be able to power them with at least 800W each. There MUST be a subsonic filter and I would love to have clip indicator LED's (like the...

    Amp benching

    I followed the instructions on this web site http://www.conceptconcept.com/download/measurwatts.pdf. I measured the AC voltage across the speaker terminals, playing a 45 Hz sine wave test tone. I cranked up my amp until the clipping LED's came on. The result was 53 V. Following the formula P =...
