    Ported boxes have a harder "HIT" and sealed boxes have more of a "BOOM";

    Input please, First real system

    [BMW E34] Newbie needs advice on SQ setup

    Ok man I'll bite. Sounds like you just want to upgrade all of your component speakers inside your car. you want them all to be the same size as the factory ones. Chances are you can get away with this without adding an amplifier and sometimes you cannot. Just depends on the type of speakers...

    Input please, First real system

    Anytime you're dealing with a MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER, the equation to remember is IMPEDANCE / NUMBER OF VOICE COILS; 2 Ω / 4 voice coils (2 per sub since they're DVC's) = 0.5 Ω LOAD; 4 Ω / 4 voice coils = 1 Ω LOAD; And since you can get 1200 WATTS at 1 Ω, you definitely want the 4Ω DUAL VOICE...

    Few problems installing subs in 07 Tahoe

    I've did installs on Several Tahoes and Suburbans; Because of that Nav; and factory amps, you have to buy that interface unit to make an aftermarket stereo work; And you can't cut corners, you have to buy the right one; And some of them are almost $200.00, some even more; That's the price...

    Your Super low budget build opinions.

    Dude I've been building systems since the "COUSTIC 360" days Back when JENSEN made BLUE AMPS; I've had budget systems, and they don't sound good; Me, a newb? Lmaooo; I hit the 14 year mark of doing custom car audio back in the early 2000's smh...

    Your Super low budget build opinions.

    Yeah, sounded good to who? You? Oh yeah; probably not to anyone else though

    Your Super low budget build opinions.

    I agree; If all you have is $500.00, you need to get a part time job and save up; Even if you could purchase enough items to satisfy a complete build, it would sound like complete garbage
