Subwoofers Aren't As Loud as Yesterday

[Darkspartan239]

So, about a week ago I installed two Pioneer TS-W302Rs with a new Boss R6002. It all sounded really good, the bass was nice and loud and hit pretty hard. My friend wanted to hear his Diamond sub in the back, so I unplugged my* amp and hooked up his sub and his amp. Then I plugged my system back in and it sounded fine. But today I got in the car and it didn't hit as hard or sound as loud as before. I tried messing with the gain and freq but couldn't get it back to its former punch.

Those amps are the biggest piles of crap on the market. Be happy it even worked

What kind of amp would you suggest for those subs then?

Yes, I used to be able to feel the pressure a lot more, but now I can barely feel anything.

Id advise you get a decent amp and subwoofer. that's pretty much junk.

good budget stuff would be US acoustics, lanzar(optidrive), punch prime

Low end alpine and JBL. At least you know it will do what it says.

When you are looking expect to pay $150 per 500ish watts.

any amp under ~120 is garbage, and thats a 500wrms range

if your buying new expect to spend atleast $150, that'll give you atleast 800 TRUE watts, something like the pioneer gm-d9601

thats like buying your headphones from dollar tree, do you think there going to sound good?

 

[Darkspartan239]

Well are they better than that Boss amp I have?

So, with those two subs how much wattage would I need? I believe they both have a rating of 150 RMS, so I need an amp with around 150Wx2 RMS @ 4 ohms right?
