Well, if any one wants to read my old post i made about a year ago when i knew NOTHING they could see some of the dumbest things iv'e ever done haha. Id come on here and be like "yo i got a 12 inch CVR it isnt very loud how do i make it louder? Or how loud should it be? and wonder why i got hateful comments. I would crank up gains, bass boost. Then turn my stock HU bass alll the way up and cruise around with bass and super distorted stock door speakers blasting (because bass was being sent to them). Thought it sounded good and that the goal was just to get the loudest bass possible... lol. Man have i learned a lot of the course of one year. At the time i didnt even know what a + and - terminal, ground, power wires, or speaker wire were. I just knew my friend hooked it up for me and i was bumpin! I would wonder why i wasnt getting "insane flex" from my 12 inch cvr in a prefab box running 250 rms =/. Man that sub took a beating tho with bass boost and all. Still works.
