Do they sound crappy when the car is off or when the car is at idle?

Your battery is your power supply for your amp. Your amp will not be getting the current it needs to produce the power your asking of it. This is not a good thing. I believe this can cause clipping but im not 100% sure. Buy a new battery before you toast your alternator, your amp, and your subs.

From what I have read Type R's get louder in small boxes as long as you have the power.

His sig says KAC-9104D which isnt enough power and the picture shows a Legacy Ice amp which still is kinda weak.

if your battery is dead i'd be more concerned with your car starting and being reliable than your stereo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

ha ha yea he ditched the legacy to get a "better" amp wich is only "900/w rms" you can look at his past thread on hoe to wire it to one ohm he tested without the car running then he said he had "alternator whine" without the car even runing then he said the amp "must have finished he alt off"

he is an idiot and a ***

i believe i have battery or alternator issues. That probably explains why the bass keeps cutting out. I can't even start my car right now so it must be alternator or battery problems.
