[QUOTE="stikystikyricky, post: 8387639, member: 615932"] 2013 dodge ram, stock head unit. 4 channel amp being run by hi-lo converter. Sounds Great! Subwoofer however: Kenwood KFC-XW10 1000W 10" Single 4 Ohm (300watts rms) Sub Amp: PLANET audio AC1500.1M (700x1 @ 4ohm) Box: Cheap ebay under the rear seat prefab box. Paid $60 [URL="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-Ram-Quad-Crew-Cab-Single-10-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Sub-Box-2002-2014-/251694920818?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a9a2fb472"]Dodge RAM Quad Crew Cab Single 10" Subwoofer Enclosure Sub Box 2002 2014 | eBay[/URL] The subwoofer hits, it moves, but just sounds like garbage. You cant feel the bass in the truck. It doesnt even vibrate or shake the mirrors at all. Its like you hear it more than you feel it. Sounds worse than a stock sub. The input for my amp I tapped off of my rear speakers rather than running rcas. Im starting to think I should try getting Y adapters and split it off of my 4 channel amp. I didnt want to jeopardize my sound quality splitting the signal. Im also thinking it could be the sub box. I didnt do any extra work sealing or anything. Just mounted the sub in there and called it a day. Im thinking I should try spraying the inside of the sub box with truck rubber bed spray to seal it better. Any thoughts suggestions? I played with all the controls. even started with the gain all the way down, turned it up, pretty much all the way up.. the sub hits, just doesnt sound like theres even a 10 in there. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
