Greetings,
First subwoofer install in a long time. Ive got what I assume to be decent gear, but yet I feel a lack of both SQ and SPL... Have I missed something? Wrong box, wrong amp, wrong...?????
98 accord 4dr
Pioneer entry level deck (2V pre)
JL HD750/1 amp
2 x JL 12w6v3 in their prefab box (cs212g-w6v3)
4awg wire ran
gain tuned with a DMM with 50 cycle test tone cd to JL spec
comparison is that originally with the new JL amp I was running a single old kicker L5 in a kicker ported box that sounded ok, but I was not impressed. Thinking I couldnt go wrong with JL i sprang for that box above mentioned (cs212g-w6v3)... well output is extremely similar if not slightly lower at the frequency where the ported box would "hit".
so question, do i need a larger amp? or do I need a fancy box like a 4th order bandpass etc?
any help or opinion is appreciated
thanks
