[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8278066, member: 660947"] The enclosure got 4.5 stars from 27 people on sonic electronix so it apparently sounds better than most expect it too BUT the thing about buying a loaded enclosure rated for 600wrms is you need to hit it with serious power to wake it up, it will most likely sound weak until you feed the current to it, another thing about having a loaded enclosure that needs a powerful amplifier to drive it is most likely having to add a second battery or even having to upgrade the charging system and we have not even hit on what you are going to do for the main speakers and the power they will need. Reverse engineer the system design and figure out what the charging system can handle which for most fullsize cars and trucks is about 50 amps dedicated to the sound system, that comes out to about 690w total system power including the subwoofer so now you can see how out of balance the entire system design is, go back to the drawing board and rethink system design.. Think smaller subwoofer for starters, like maybe 450wrms total for the subs leaving you 150Wrms or more for main system power, cheers.. [/QUOTE]
