[QUOTE="Volvowith18psi, post: 7633072, member: 621805"] Ride: 2003 Jeep GC Limited w/ factory Infinity Gold setup. Yellow Top / Factory Alt. / Pretty sure factory gave 4g Big 3 Kenwood Deck. Kicker 4g/100amp P/G etc.., Kenwood 9105D @1ohm Kicker L5 12" In a huge prefab ported / sloted w/e... So, quick run down. Got that setup installed for around 600 bucks 2+years ago. 1st prefab box was destroyed within weeks, blew apart the caulking, walls started to separate. Shop gave me a new box, much better built no charge or problems again. It bangs hard, and is blowing my Jeeps trim apart. Box is even pushed towards the seat as far as it would go lol. Recently, I noticed a rattle/buzz coming from the sub itself, and that ring around the screw holes was peeling apart, so I caulked it back down, but it got me thinking it may be time for a new sub. Dont get me wrong, the sub is taking every bit that amp can throw at it, and the amp actually clipped I think, for the 1st time tonight, ever. (Sub cut out during high volume w/ bass boost on for a brief second.) Resumed pounding with no issues for the rest of the drive. Im posting because Im curious, given my amp wires bat/alt which I don't want to replace, can I get more bang from a new setup, speaker wise? Was kinda looking at 1 DC lv3 12/15, but worry about a "paper" cone and well, that my other **** isnt upto the task, and/or it will bang pretty much no better then my current setup. I wish I could find some place to jus plug in new speakers to judge 1st hand without having to drop the loot and be less then satisfied, expectation wise... What do you guys think? (Only reason I want to keep the amp/wires is because I know my alt/battery can handle the load, and my ride being drivable is the most important thing to consider) [/QUOTE]
