It's the type r's also I used to run them they sound great at mid volume but lose it when you turn them up. Get 4 sa8v2's give them 1500 watts total and you will be pleased.

You probably had the settings wrong and they can take a lot more than 1500 watts, 4 of them will eat that up and spit it out.

Plywood is a lot better than deadener for roof flex. I will be doing a few layers of MDF and fiberglass when I take my sunroof out.

I will put carriage bolts through the roof to secure everything. really don't care about looks. I want it to be solid enough that I can trust it as a mounting location for my next sub-amp.

There are several different ways to brace the roof with wood.

How tall is the port? Otherwise, 4.25 doesn't help much.

Yes use wood for your roof. This is sanded pine. Way stronger than any just deadened roof.



But you are only running type Rs so this is wayyyy overkill.

I did that with 1/4 in MDF and p&l xxx adhesive. It lasted half of a song and started coming loose and flapping and then falling off. So then I had to pry tthe left overs off my roof and clean the p&l off my roof. What a bltch that was. Then I put 48sqft of AT deadener and some American bass deadener, American bass was better IMO, and roof is pretty dang solid now. Some people have good luck with that I didn't. My new wall the top will be stuck to my roof with something the shop said.

with the pioneer, i had it in a pre fab box (came with a car i bought) and it ran off of an almanii pa 900.2, and it did seem to have almsot the same amount of pressure, i can see if he is willing to flip boxes so we can hear, i just dont wanna blow his since they can only take 500 rms,

Dont crank it hard and you should be fine

Suppose to use 1/2 plywood and industrial strength construction adhesive and fill in the empty gaps with spray foam. Mines is still going strong, it worked better than 2 layers of deadener ever did for me.

so fun things happened, i went to move the box agian to test it out a different way (seen below), and when i went to go try it, my speakers make a popping noise when i turn the car on, and once i turn them up to 20 (my usual as around 30-33) the speakers cut out, i didnt touch any of the settings on either amp, and they are as is below.... i checked my grounds, my power and the Rem and the rcas and all seems to be well, i thought itd be a gain issue but then i saw that nothing was touched
