the Proper install is what will give you a "boom car audio system"

its about 30% equipment 70% install and application.

Subwoofer have their own enclosure they like to be in. a custom enclosure build around the subwoofer specifications is what is key to a good sounding subwoofer.

Then you have the amplifier which will give your subwoofer the power it needs. a subwoofer also has to match the amplifier and the power it gives at a certain ohm load.

Cruise around on the forum a bit. Also, are you referring to SPL cars?

 

[James Coyle]

By "SPL", he means sound pressure level, in this case measured in decibels

Are you looking for a ground-pounder style system? One that flexes your windows?

Or a system that you will not be competing with and just want to enjoy some music in your daily driver?
