    Sub setup too "boomy"

    So I took a look today and it does appear the bass boost was set at 5db so I turned that off, which helped a lot. Not as clean as something bigger, but I think you guys are right in that its the size of the box...but I want to balance maintaining the size of the trunk. If I wanted to see how it...

    Build Component Suggestion & Set up questions

    Hi guys, I have a 2016 Audi Allroad with the factory Bang & Olufson 15 speaker setup. Overall sound quality is pretty good, but the subwoofer in the trunk is basically inaudible. I want to add an amplifier and enclosure /w subwoofer to the system to get the bass I need. I'm not looking for...

    Running subs at 2ohms bridged? Whats the deal?

    Gotcha. Thank you for the explanation. As with everything, there is the right way to do it, and the wrong way to do it. I have my CPU at 4.5GHz, but I am running a high end cooler, and keep the voltage under control -- I've done this for years and as long as you do it right, no problems. Its a...

    Running subs at 2ohms bridged? Whats the deal?

    Yes, I understand that. My i5-2500k CPU is designed stable at 3.3GHz, but I run her at 4.5GHz.... Whats the deal with running at 2ohms 2 subwoofers bridged.

    What's a good sub that will fit my custom box?

    Thanks for input guys.... How can I find the volume of each chamber? I know volume of triangle is 1/2 B*H, so the height according to my calculations is 13.25" 38.95125 = A of triangle * 21 length = 818^3 inches / 12 = 68^3 ft. Does that sound right?

    What's a good sub that will fit my custom box?

    I made my own custom box that fits between rear seats in my wagon.... Currently have some terrible 10" DUAL 300W subs. They just ****, but worked fine for a number of years when I didn't really need much bass. Whats some good subs that will fit this box? Something under 300W RMS will be plenty...

    Setting my gains correctly...

    So I have a 12" JBL GT5 sub running on a dual xpa2500 @ 150W RMS bridged. Yeh amp is cheap, but it does what I want for the price. I would like to set the gains correctly although from what I have read I am very unlikely to damage the sub because it is rated for 275W RMS and I am running it at...

    Where to find velcro to tie down sub?

    Anybody know the best Velcro to use that will hold my box down tight? And then where to find it? Brick+Mortar stores preferred... Thanks.
