[QUOTE="Maury McCown, post: 6973249, member: 625525"] Hey all I'm currently running a Rockford Fosgate T110D2 at 4 ohms in a .75cu ft sealed box in my 4-door Jeep JK, powered by a Rockford Fosgate Prime R1000-1D amp at 500 watts. The T110D2 is rated at 600w RMS with a peak of 1200w, so I know I'm under-powering the speaker. I'm considering replacing the amp with a Kenwood Excelon X1200M, which will run at 800w RMS at 4 ohms. That's slightly over-powering the speaker, but I'm assuming that since I listen to metal and rock, I won't be hitting the full gain as I'll end up turning the amp down a bit to better balance in the mix. My issue with my current amp is that the bass is [I]just not[/I] quite loud enough. Good or bad, I have the gain set via DMM and a 50Hz test tone, as well — and I have it close to maxed. All that said, I'm wondering if the amp upgrade will make a noticeable difference in sub volume...? I don't have room to add more subs, and I like the bass tightness I get with my sealed box, anyway. Will the 800w amp give me more bass than the 500w? Should I go for it? Thanks! Maury [/QUOTE]
