[QUOTE="xtremekustomz, post: 2370157, member: 569952"] Someone may have already said this but I didn't feel like reading every post. When you say P1 are you referring to Rockford Fosgate? If so basically all they are is PA speakers. There is definately a quality difference. They produce bass differently than a high quality woofer. High quality woofers are designed to give a smooth bass response. The "cheap" woofers tend to have peaks at higher bass frequencies and those are the frequencies that can really be heard outside of a vehicle. And as for your box, it seems a little big for a Type R if you ask me. I would have figured around a 2. I had some of the old ones and I think they recommended porting at 2 cu ft. I really don't like the sound of woofers in vented boxes. Another thing, just as xluben said, get your gains set right. The rule of thumb is head unit at 3/4 volume before distortion starts to play a role in sound. Of cours I can go to full volume on mine and have no breakup in the sound [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Also don't use loud buttons and things of that nature. They were meant to be used with low volume levels. [/QUOTE]
