[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8520434, member: 650438"] 1: My 4 channel can run indefinitely. My big 10k sub amp needs cooling upgrades if its 90-100 degree weather, too much current is going through it. With smaller sub amps i've owned, I could run it indefinitely as well. by indefinitely meaning from orange county to San Francisco which is a 7-8 hour trip. 2 and 3: A better 12 will have more motor force and power handling capabilities however if you dont have the proper power to fully power it, you need an efficient enclosure to compensate or else the lower power rated sub will get louder with a less than optimal box. Every other factor determines how loud a sub is. EVERY factor, mainly the box and how the port is interacting with the vehicle cabin and cabin gain. I'd work on his install first before swapping out gear. Sounds like a hack job install. His gear should work fine but sounds like its poorly setup. You can have a 6000$ sub in a sh*t box and install sound like complete and utter garbage and have a 15 dollar flea market speaker sound beyond amazing in a proper box and setup. There's WAY more to subwoofers than just buying good subs and throwing it in whatever pre-made box you buy from any retailer. [/QUOTE]
