Just bumping to see if anyone else can help. Thanks

I thought it was ghetto, lol. It is tightly sealed indeed, but they don't sound very loud unfortunately... I know adding an amp would help but would a 100$ amp + these speakers beat my head unit's onboard amp + 100$ speakers? All I want is the front speakers to sound louder right now (I'm...

Here is a pic of the way my front speakers are mounted. I'm expecting you guys to laugh at me so idc lol. Even though it looks pretty ghetto, it actually works ok, I guess. The exterior is sealed with the foamy tape that came with the speakers and the speakers are mounted on the wood directly...

Thanks for the reply again! No I don't drive like a ganster lol it feels uncomfortable to me. I've tried changing position and didnt notice any difference really...As for the way the speakers are mounted, there is huge gap. I used the included sticky foam to prevent leaking. The sound barely...

Thanks for the replies. If I fade the rear, the overall sound quality decreases. As for the front speakers, I really think they aren't very powerfull. I could upgrade to a bigger size, but I'll have to mount them differently (no big deal). Will getting bigger/louder speakers solve my problem...

Hi, I installed my first car audio system 3 weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with it. However, most of the sound is coming for the back of the car. The speakers are on the rear deck right under the rear windshield and the sub is underneath, in the trunk. When I say most of the sound comes from...

Ok so I crancked the amp to the max and I get something. The bass is good but I feel it could be doing more. It's a monoblock amp so I can't bridge it but right now the sub is running at 4 ohm. Is there a way to make it run at 2ohm? Or even 1 ohm? Thanks

I've tried setting that. According to this crappy manual, I have to set Rb ENH to 1,2 or 3 but whenever I do that, only the front speakers work. When it's at off, all speakers power up but not the sub. Thanks for the reply btw

Yes and I've tested it, it works

EDIT*: Got the main problem solved. Is there a way to make my mono amp push my amp more? I don't feel like I'm getting 400rms power right now... It's running at 4ohm, Is there a way to make it run at 2ohm or even 1ohm? Thanks! Original post: Hi guys, I got a new setup and the sub doesn't...

That sounds like a good idea if you say it's a good deal. How much is the guy asking for? And would it be a good buy for a first setup? Thanks

It's a toyota tercel ce 1999. I want pro advice. Help me budget was bumped to around 450$. Thanks

I'm back guys! I'm browsing ebay right now looking for what you suggested. I found a combo on kijiji and I'm wondering if it could be an interesting deal. The guys is asking 220$ (negotiable) for 2x 12in MTX subs and an amp (RT4240) and the sub box. He doesn't specify the model of the subs...

Ok guys I've look threw what you guys propsed. Thanks a lot for the help. It's 4am and I'm tired so I'll post back tomorrow. I've thanked you all who helped me

Ok we'll I checked on bestbuy and they have some good prices for what I've seen. Actually, since they offer free shipping in Canada, it's cheaper for me to buy from them. Here's what I found for 450$ tax and shipping included. Alpine CDE-100 HU (bestbuy) Kenwood KAC-7205 AMP (bestbuy) JBL...
