[QUOTE="KCha, post: 4753902, member: 575088"] I would work on better install first -- it makes it that much easier to change things up later on and you are able to get a much better idea how each component sounds when all other things remain the same. I would upgrade the box first as that would probably make the biggest change. Going from 2awg to 1/0 shouldn't be that big of an upgrade atleast not noticeable to the ear unless you are having huge voltage drops. Even still an alt/battery would be the best choice. Moving to 1/0 leaves you plenty of room for upgrades in the future (which often happens). Deadening may not make that much of a difference in loudness as it changes case to case, but stopping all that rattling makes the sub sound much cleaner and enjoyable IMO. Don't listen to him about upgrading the subs he's just out for that $$ Type R's are a very capable and hearty sub and should hold you off until you get the other installation needs completed. Get the big 3 done and as always keep an eye on the voltage =) [/QUOTE]
