    Guys with reg cab trucks!

    It depends on your amp... If your amp puts out 1000 watts or more, a pair of JL 13TW5's are pretty kick butt. I had a pair sealed behind my seat in an F250 reg cab. No moving the seat forward BS, and they pounded pretty hard. Make sure you get a grill though, subs behind the seat rub like...

    JL Slash to ARC KAR worth swap?

    "JL Slash to ARC KAR worth swap?" In my case, most definitely. In your case, maybe not... I swapped my JL 300/4v2 for an Arc 300.4 and the difference was night and day. the JL sounded great until I got above 3/4 volume. After that it would start sounding "compressed" the louder it got. The...

    JL 500/5 amp 2cutting in and out please help! :crying:

    You are overheating your amp. 1. It is not getting enough airflow. 2. You are turning it up too loud (this would include incorrect gain settings) 3. The subs are wired incorrectly. 4. You are expecting more out of a multichannel amp than is normal. My personal remedy for overheating...

    Need help with my truck audio

    "they sound great to me" In the end, that is all that matters. Back in 97/98 timeframe, I had a single ported 12" Soundstream SPL (SS12 was the model I think) behind the seat in my '95 Dodge Ram regular cab. It sounded great, and I was able to get it to only use up about 1/2 the space behind...

    Need help with my truck audio

    Somewhere behind the seat(s) is pretty much a standard location for subs in your truck. You might be able to fit a sub under the passenger seat, but it will be an extremely tight fit even for an 8" sub. I wouldn't recommend the sub be placed under a seat. I have a Ford F-250 regular cab...

    Looking for a specific head unit

    Any particular reason why you want to go with built in HD versus an add on module? I am loving my new Kenwood X994, and if I decide to go HD radio, I can just buy the module.

    Combining ported and sealed?

    On paper, I don't think that there is anything wrong with the idea of both a sealed and ported box. However, I think that it would take a lot of effort to get it to sound right. Maybe even impossible if they were driven on the same channel by the same amp and the same baffle. I think that you...

    is a low pass filter slope on amp the same slope as subsonic filter ?

    Very little Googling and I find an example of an amp with a 24db low pass filter and a 12db low frequency filter: Amazon.com: Performance Teknique Icbm-781 1800 Watts Digital Monoblock Car Amplifier-subsonic Filter: Electronics Note that the low frequency filter is 12db AND it is hard set at...
