[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8717027, member: 650438"] It'll damage your equipment and kill your audio gear in the long run. You are adding things to the signal that was not there in the beginning which completely distorts and messes up the signal into a really dirty signal and now you amplify that and its going to your subwoofer. So out of everything recommended heres the the list of priorities which the first will give you the most night and day difference in your system performance. 1: Get rid of that stock head unit, or bypass it completely with a dayton dsp. Your audio will always be **** no matter what sub or amp or box you get because stock head units signals are complete ****. Yes this is THAT important for bass performance nothing else comes close in your case currently. You can expect to get twice as loud and hit extremely deep notes once you get something with a proper sub out rca either after market head unit or dsp, legit night and day. 2: set your amp's gain, low pass properly along with giving your system a proper tune. 3: upgrade electricals 4: add 2nd sub and build a new box for both but most likely you'll be satisfied with the single sa 12 when its running properly. The way you have it right now, you are at best getting 20% out of that sub yes signal will **** your performance up that bad. [/QUOTE]
