[QUOTE="DARKHART, post: 8538865, member: 544747"] Problem definitely sounds like improper signal, if done correctly and the proper one is used for the situation you can use a LOC just fine and keep your factory headunit and get great bass in your vehicle. If the amp you mentioned is the D5.1000 then you should have a 1000wrms @1ohm on tap which is more than enough power and I can't speak for that box because I don't know the specs of it but for everyone talking bout prefabs are tuned high, yes they are, generally in the 40hz to 50hz range.....guess what, most of DD recommended box specs are tuned in the high 30's to high 40hz range.... I'm not familiar with your vehicle or the sound system in it so I can't say where the best place to grab the signal is but on most late model vehicles I avoid using the factory sub leads unless I know for certain where it's crossed over at, whether or not it does or doesn't have some funky speed/volume auto adjustment built in it and thus far. The best thing is to take it back and let them know that it's not preforming anywhere near what it should and you'd like them to double check to make sure that it's getting the signal it needs and if it's clipping then something is definitely not properly matched. They need to scope where they got signal from..... [/QUOTE]
