I need more. It's not loud enough.

[QUOTE="phantom240, post: 8668551, member: 562504"] I'm kinda at a loss for what I can do to make my truck louder in the non-sub department... I know I need more amp and enclosure volume to tackle that, along with a HO alt. It's an '02 Avalanche, with my highs powered by a Zapco ST-4D running a set of JBL P660C components up front doors and some dookie JBL GTO629 coax in the rear doors. I need more though. I'm not sure if I'm running out of amp and clipping (don't have any way of measuring the waveform), or the speakers just can't take the wattage, but right when I get into the sweet spot of where I want to be when the music starts getting rowdy, I start to get some crackling in the front, and I'm sure I can hear some mild clipping on certain songs. Of course, I occasionally get that sweet smell of roasting coils as well, but never on any songs where I can hear distortion, as I back off of it. Should I build pods on the doors for twin 5.25 components? Add a set of kickpanel pods? Step up to a 3-way system? The truck's doors are already deadened, and have MLV and a decoupler layer between the door and the door panel. Any ideas? Forgot to mention the front stage is high passed at 120hz/12dB, rear 120hz/24dB [/QUOTE]
