I have just finished installing my new tuned box in my car. It is an SPL box tuned too 45Hz, however when the sub hits now at any volume it shakes the my Kenwood head-unit so badly it won't stop skipping. It never used to do this with my old box, with the smae sub. Is there anyway of isolating...

I'll take that JBL 1200.1 off your hands for $205? Mark

Trying to find a good subsonic filter for my set-up before I finish installing it. I don't want to spend to much on one but if I have to I will, any suggestions would be great. BTW I have a Orion 12d powered by a JBL 1200.1 amp, don't wanna fock this sub up, I want do it right the first time...

Just in the process of building my box for my HCCA 12D and I can't decide where to locate the woofer on the box. I have a Mazda Protege5 and the box will be 2.5 cu/ft ported tuned to 32Hz. Would this set-up sound better if I mounted the sub and port facing the back of the car into the hatch or...

Just starting to build my ported 2.75 cu/ft box for my 12d HCCA and was worried about flex so I think bracing it would be the right to go. What way of internally bracing the box would be best? I figured 2" wide strips of left over MDF with angle cut ends should do the trick. If I'm wrong in...

Dual 2 Ohm for the voice coils. the JBL supposedly puts out 1200RMS @ 2 Ohm so I think its a good match? I can get this amp for $450CAN (about $250 US) brand new... is that a good price?

Will a JBL 1200.1 power a Orion HCCA 12d sub properly? Just got the sub and now I can't figure out what kind of amp would be best for it... I found a good deal on this JBL and thought it might work... ANy help would be great, thanx.
