[QUOTE="Maky, post: 8306221, member: 662661"] Hello Everyone, I just joined the forums a short while ago and am here hoping to learn more about car audio & hopefully along the way find a solution to my currently faced issues. A short Intro... I used to heavily be into car audio when I was a teen, I was a member of ECA - Elite Car Audio forums back then but I think the site is now gone, then I lost interest(also knowledge) when I got into my early twenties. Now, past 27 circumstances have once again sparked my interest in after-market car audio. Now, I bought a new Suzuki Swift hatchback a year ago with dealer-end Installed car audio system but it hadn't been to my satisfaction!. The sound was absolutely flat and there was no '[I]life[/I]' to music that was played. So I decided to upgrade the door speakers, which turned out to be something made by JVC to Pioneer components, put a pair of Pioneer 6x9s on the rear parcel shelf and power it by a 4-Channel Pioneer amplifier. The sound was still not impressive enough, although overall sounding significantly better than the earlier setup, when it came to bass. I didn't want to spend a lot more money so my friend told me I could have his old Pioneer Subwoofer(DVC 4 Ohm) which he hadn't used for many years and bridge all channels of the 4 Ch to it instead of the speakers. I hooked up his old subwoofer(sealed) and the bass is noticeable higher however now my problem is that I have not enough kick or punch i.e. the vibes you get when bass notes are played that shake the car and you : ). The 4-Ch amplifier is rated for 180W RMS x 2 when bridged & the Subwoofer rates at 750W RMS and 2000W Max.

Any help is greatly appreciated : ). Thanks in Advance. [/QUOTE]
