Its not much, but this is how I got it.

These are my subs

and that is my deck

I was wondering if I put like a peice of plywood insdie the box twhere those holes are, one by duct tape, and one wher eu can clearly see. would it hurt the sound by much, because I took out the speakers that were in those holes because they don't work very well when inside the box.

Build you a nicer box. My brother has those in a box in his camaro and they don't sound half bad setup properly.

duck tape FTW?

deff build a better box, even a nice prefab is way better

Should I build a box for just one sub since I only use one at the moment, cuz my amp somehow can't power both

 

[bamaboy 5,000+ posts]

please explain on the amp part, why cant it power them

I have a 1100 Watt Monoblock 8125 Class D Kenwood Amp. it does 500 at 2 ohm and 350 at 4 I beleive. I have two 600 watt W3003 Kenwood Tornadoes. Rated at 150 rms each I think. I connect both subs and it works, but when I have only one on it sounds a whole lot louder, and im not even exaggurating. It sounds like speakers if not lower with both of them connected. I donno why the amp can't push it. SOme people told me to get capacitors, but I dunno hwo to even connec those

Better box.

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

what box for a 2 600 watts subs, or just 1?

If that box is a common chamber, its probably why it sounds like poo with the amp on both of them. It looks like its leaking from every possible point on it....throw it into your nearest dumpster immediately.

 

[gotgohan 10+ year member]

they each have their own chamber.. i just think the amp can't push it because it can't give enough power

I lol'ed. Definately get rid of that pos. Read up on how to make your own or have someone do it. If you're going to have someone build you one, you might look at some new subs as well.

what are your subs wired at? 4ohm or 2 ohm? if 4 ohm, then u are giving each sub 175rms each.

just make a new box.

 

[energizedsbs 10+ year member]

could have one sub wired out of phase... two should sound better than one

 

[MrSector9 10+ year member]

yeah nor eaosn that amp won't push both subs.

New box

Proper sub Wiring

boom boom down the road.
