[QUOTE="stay_high, post: 7358404, member: 633837"] Ok so heres the deal. I bought a single 12 inch kicker cvr in a vented box and a 1000 watt kenwood amp. ( idk why its 1000 watt my parents bought the amp for me as a birthday gift). I have a black 08 ford focus se. Also i am forced to use a line out converter so i have a stock head unit. Ford focus are wierd and basicly i would have to rewire the ac unit and buy over 150 dollars worth of parts to install a head unit. Since im cheap i just bought the line out converter. Well my friend installed it for me today since he claims to know a lot about audio systems. I believe him because he has a system of his own and seems to know what hes talking about. So he put it in today and idk it just doesn't sound right. This is my first system so i really dont know how it should sound or too much about it but im pretty sure it should be louder than this. So here are the problems: my kenwood amp heats up and gets pretty hot after about 10 mins of music. Is this normal? The volume of the sub woofer is always the same. For example with the volume turned down to like 3 the sub is just as loud with the volume on max. Dont get me wrong its loud but its just not hard hitting or anything. From like 40 feet away you can barely hear it. The first times i used it I started to smell kinda like something was burning. But i heard thats just how they smell when your first using them? Is that true? We had to remove the door panel and after we put it back the door wont freaking open. Iv'e tried everything to get it open. It locks and unlocks and thats all. Basicly im scared to even play my system because i dont want it to brake or something. I will be showing up at this guys house tomoro and he WILL fix it, or else lol. The wierd thing is this kid did it for me for free. If i took it to the car audio shop down the street called mad marks would they take a look at it for free? Just like tell me if there is anything wrong with it? lol can someone give me some answer? im pretty pissed right now just typing it makes me mad ahaha. Thanks for any replys. [/QUOTE]
