    Opposed subs?

    In a home-audio discussion room, I mentioned the old-school method of isobarics for getting deeper, lower-distortion bass in a much smaller box. Some young gun shot back that isobarics are a crap solution for cheap woofers, and that the same thing can be achieved by simply putting drivers at...

    So my subwoofers are/was wired down to 1 ohm the impedance rose to 3 ohms (witch to me I feel shouldn't be that high) could it be from a stock alternator.

    I tried to install two 15's behind the seat of my 2005 Dodge. I had more than enough mounting depth. However, we tried to build the box on the smaller side and it didn't work out too well. It peaked too high for my liking. We installed two U15 v2's on an SIA5000. It did do a 148 on the meter @...
