best thing to do?

[truckcap22 10+ year member]

looking for ways to improve my system, i had alot of money and was going to completely redo everything but now im down to about 150 bucks and was thinking what was the best way to improve.i have 2 12" cvrs and a jl 12" w3 all in a sealed box with a kx500.2 amp and a 300watt dual amp. i was thinking

1. get a ported box for my 12's

2. completely deaden my truck

3. run 1/0 wire, and do the big 3

4. sell everything and start over (lol not what i really want to do) but may consider it

Any guru's with some input?

First of all, i suggest running only one type of subs, dont mix and match. With that said, maybe port the two CVRs

haha man dont do that! two reasons...

One, each different type of sub performs different and has different specs!

Two, LOOKS LIKE SHIT!

that is all.

Try taking the JL out once or vise versa.. Why ask for help if when we give it to you defend your current.

If your going for SQ Id keep the JL and sell the Kickers

If you want it to be a little louder sell the JL on craigslist for the **** prices you often see and have more $$$

With what you have Id keep the kickers and run the Kicker amp. What impedance are they?

Well I'm saying if theres no real harm besides it looks bad I dont want to sacrifice sound for looks its behind the seats of my ranger, and no one ever see's it anyways. I want overall loudness before quality. Im not trying to defend my current, i know i dont know more than some of you about audio, and i will consider any replys. Thanks

Your hurting it more. The different drivers will produce some cancellation.
