[QUOTE="jmw703, post: 7469710, member: 636263"] First off, this is my first post on these forums and i do not know where this thread should go but oh well..Secondly, im relatively new to car audio so dont tear me up if i dont know what im talking about. Anyways i just bought 2 kicker cvr 12s, the 2007 models if that matters, in a kicker box. I paired them up with a new rockford fosgate 4 gauge kit and a hifonics brutus brz1200.1d. So me and my dad hooked them up yesterday and i was rather disappointed, they are not as loud as i thought they would be. They are louder but not terribly louder than my previous setup which was 2 pioneer 10s rated at 120rms per sub and they were wired to 4 ohms only getting 85-90 watts per sub on an old, cheap 2 channel amp. My question is could i have hooked it up wrong ? I know the gain shouldnt be that high, I'm overpowering the subs by 50 rms each as it is. Or could it be my head unit? im using a alpine cde-100 which only has 1 2v pre out which is currently being used for my speaker amp, i had to get a pac-LC1 RCA knob to adjust the sub bass. Would i need to get a HU with more than one 4v pre outs? Any thoughts, suggestions or input would be helpful, thanks. [/QUOTE]
