Weak System?

[Lynchin4cash 10+ year member]

I have two of these 10 inch JL W1's in my ford f-150http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15650 powered by a Rockford Fosgate p325.1 amp http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Rockford%20Fosgate%20P325.1%20Car%20Amplifier:1994162546. The subs are in a fiber glass box and I have a 50x4w Pionner Deck. It just isn't slappin for me. I don't know if something isn't right or it's just like that, but it's kinda weak. Any thoughts?

Well, I mean its not exactly a high powered system. Numbers-wise everything matches up (sub rms and amp output)....I'd say put them in a ported box and see if its a bit more to your liking? It should be louder than what you hear now, all other things staying the same of course. Other option is to sell it all and go for bigger subs and more power! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There's the problem. I don't have much room in my truck. I can only put a select few of 10's under the seats.

what kinda truck is it? i have a 15 in a ex-cab s10 you could do a blow through? or just give up the rear seats

but those jl w1s may sound decent to some, (i strongly disliked em) but they wont get loud for anything

look at the new kicker shallow mounts

Are the subs wired in parallel so that the amp is seeing a 2 ohm load?

What are any settings and switches on the amp set to?

How many cubic feet is the fiberglass enclosure?

How are the subs oriented? (how are they installed physically and what direction are they firing? - can you post a pic or two if possible?)

Unfortunately, I do not have a camera. But I can give you the basis of it. I have a 2006 Ford F150 extended cab. The box feels up the entire part underneath the back seat. The subs are parallel. I do not know the settings to the amp. I had this all professionally installed. That's what makes me think it would be all fine. But my amp is underneath my passenger seat so I can't see the settings on it.
