Silverado Setup

[496 BB]

So got an 01 crew cab 2500hd. Got the box from some place in Florida that cant remember name now.

I have two 10" RF P2D4's in box. Got some vega front comps and Infiniti Kappas Im installing today in rear doors. I know I will need an amp for comps but thats another day. Right now I have an OLD old school Fosgate amp. Think its a punch 120a. I know it has a 347w birthsheet when I looked it up years ago. Anyways I have this running these Kicker 07cvr's and while it sounds ok for me in my wifes 4runner in a tuned box I built it sounds kinda dinky in this truck. Im sure the box is the difference as I dont have much options for a box. Im sealed now and down firing.

I wanted to know if I got more amp if it would help? I listen to mostly rock and ocassionally r&b. Pretty much anything. Im not trying to go balls out like most here are. Just want something that doesnt distort or make subs sound underpowered. I like clean and loud. I dont turn up very often as my toddler is usually with me but when I do I like to crank it.

I was looking at a Hifonics brutus series but have seen some others as well. Would like to keep price point under $300 which I know is low and you get what you pay for but as I said just want something better than now.

Recommendations?

I own a gmc sierra, but had to make a box on the seat for my listening preference.

You wont get any better since under the seat is way to small to get more airspace..

Adding more power with that small space will end up cooking your sub.

So you dont think the ZRX1200.1D would help?

What if I ported this box? Although Im just barley at min for sealed cuft.

A few 8s ported will do better.

I slapped a JL dual 8w3microsub enclosure behind the back seat of one of my crewcabs and it works alright. The truck in getting a blow-thru from the bed soon so I can be a legit street-beater.

OK subs are staying...lol. Just want to know if more watts will clean it up at higher volumes. I got another truck for bass but this is my daily truck.

You can put around 750 on them and it will be a noticeable increase.
