    My old sub/box combo is better sounding than my new???

    Yeah...I ventured that I boned it on the sub....I should have just bought the subs that everyone recommends on this site....I was just trying to be an "individual"...I am disappointed in the Massive Audio Kilo 104 (unless it needs to be in a vented enclosure or something like that)...I'm...

    My old sub/box combo is better sounding than my new???

    I had a custom sealed box built for a Massive Audio Kilo 104 600w RMS...I have 500w rms going to it...gains at about 40%...that's all I can get before it kind of bottoms out...I'm of the opinion the box is .8 cu ft, but the "pro" that built it says its 1.0 cu ft?? by external measurements its...

    2ohm 90w components powered by 150w 2ohm amp? OK or no?

    It is a Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS...4v preouts....I'm assuming this is a decent head unit??? Everything is scheduled to be installed tomorrow.

    2ohm 90w components powered by 150w 2ohm amp? OK or no?

    Sooooo...is that a yes or a no? Is the RF R600-4D not going to send a clean signal?

    2ohm 90w components powered by 150w 2ohm amp? OK or no?

    Is the custom box I had made too small?

    Well this is odd....I called the guy and he said "that box is bigger than .8....it's .984"...i said how are you coming up with that number...he said "internal dimensions of 18.5x11.5x8avg/1782=.984"...OK so the question is...he subtracted 1.5 from the width and height, but not the depth. The...

    Is the custom box I had made too small?

    I was quoted $120, but when I got there to pay there were material charges (wood) for the box (nice if they would have told me that up front) plus tax....so yeah I paid more than I should have, but nevertheless I can't figure out how he came up with .8 cu ft and a net box volume of roughly...

    Is the custom box I had made too small?

    I have a 10" Massive Audio Kilo 104. The product manual that came with the subwoofer states that a sealed enclosure should be .75 cu ft taking into account displacement which is .0963, that would be a box with a total volume of .85. The manual on Massive's website gives a range of .88...

    Which is better for 1 10" Sundown SA-10D4 in small sealed box?

    Hey guys...any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to pick between these 2 amps for the Sundown 600w rms 4-0hm DVC I just bought. Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime or Rockford Fosgate P400X1 Punch I listened to the Prime at a local store and it seemed to pump out some good power and sound...
