I got the subwoofer installed today and I'm really happy with how the car sounds. This Rockville Rockghost sub is actually pretty good. Not bone shaking, but that's not what I wanted. It does sound super tight and clean, and plenty of volume for me with the gain around 50%. It can go up to...

Oh, and the sub has a wired remote with gain, crossover, bass boost, and phase. It's actually the only place to control all those. That'll go to the glove box or center console. So I don't need to worry about using the stock hu to control the sub level.

Well, yesterday I wired in the mini amp to drive the speakers (and the wires for the sub signal). It wasn't a dramatic improvement over stock, but it's hard to say since I keep doing it in increments. New speakers without the amp was worse than stock because they were underpowered. New speakers...

I installed front and rear speakers today (of course they sound like crap because I haven't intalled the amp yet), and I checked out the voltage at different tones. Here's what I got: Rear: 200 Hz - 1.8 100 Hz - 0.83 80 Hz - 1.55 50 Hz - 1.61 40 Hz - 1.13 Front: 200 Hz - 4.28 100 Hz - 5.26 80...

That was an extremely helpful reply, thank you for answering my question about which output to use. Also, I didn't think of testing the outputs with a multimeter like that. I can also compare front to rear that way and see if there is any difference. To my ears, just fading full front vs full...

Thanks, I'll check that out

That particular amp wouldn't work for what I'm trying to do. The one I chose is designed to be tucked away behind the dash and is rated at half the power of the one you suggested. So the speakers I already ordered are also rated for 45 watts RMS. The biggest goal is to improve the sound of the...

Thanks for the reply! It's only low level for the RCA inputs. It has at separate high level inputs. I'm just trying to figure out which high level outputs to use (factory HU out or mini amp). Here's the section of the subwoofer manual about that:

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I tried searching, but did not find the answer to this. I'm installing a Rockville Rockghost powered sub, a Pioneer GM-D1004 mini amp to drive the speakers (45 watts X 4 RMS), and all new speakers (matched to Pioneer RMS) in a 2016 Kia Forte5 SX. I want...
