[QUOTE="TheAftermath, post: 4004248, member: 585631"] Sorry in advance as this may be in the wrong section. I recently purchased a sub+amp package at car toys and got it installed there(for a ridiculous amount). What I ended up getting was a: JBL GT4-12 Subwoofer Dual XPA2100 300 Watt Amp and just a regular box $130 for the 3 items, $30 for a wiring kit, and $100 for installation The amp is underneath my drivers seat and it never overheats or anything. When I listen to music at my preferred volume, the sub gives my seats and rear view mirror a good shake. Even if I put the sub at +15 on my head unit (the highest it goes) I still don't get the bump that I want. When I am walking through the city or just near my house, I will always hear a car with the bass just thumping. I can hear the bass from a block away. However, with my car, from the outside all you hear is the trunk make a puny rattling noise(hardly much bass). So, Ive messed with the bass on my head unit, but I have not touched the gain settings on my amp, mostly due to the fact that I don't know too much about those settings. Knowing nearly nothing of car audio, and rambling on about my crappy system...I know there has to be a way I can maximize the power of my bass. Basically, I'm just asking the experts on what I should do or at least try to do. Thanks [/QUOTE]
