[QUOTE="Fuzion64, post: 8506821, member: 658588"] Factory radio vs Pioneer MVH-X380BT Setup: 1x Kenwood 9106D 2400w amp peak power on 2ohm's (Actual was 900w when tested and measured at the shop) 2x 12" Kicker Comp VT's in a sealed box wired in parallel at 2 ohm's. Factory radio/Factory speakers for 900w the bass doesn't seem like much at all, but then again my radio is factory. The installer showed me his car using the same exact amp and a single Rockford fosgate T1D2 2 ohm sub in a vented box. The thing slammed so hard you could feel it in your chest. Since my factory radio only has a volume from 1-38 is it not reaching its full potential by limitation of the head unit itself. Will I get more power and punch by installing a x380, excelon 998, or x6800bt? It seems like 2 12" subs should hit harder than 1 12" sub given the fact it is the same exact amp in both setups with more air being pushed by 2 12" vs 1 12". The guy had a kenwood excelon double din radio installed in his car. I was amazed at what 1 12" sub setup done right could do. [/QUOTE]
