Is it likely that a 250 amp alternator and big 3 wiring would help this issue?I'd say so if you think that stock electrical system is up to the job of feeding a 2500W amplifier.

Something wasn't right. My P3 10's on a RF Prime 1200 mono amp just last night was bouncing my roof, my mirrors and I could feel it like crazy in my chest to Beastie Boys "Intergalactic"Maybe I just have unrealistic expectations. That's very unfortunate, it's really not even that loud before sound quality degrades. Can't even feel it in my chest. It does sound much better than with no subwoofers, but not for the amount if money I paid
This is such a subjective question, but did it sound good to you? Like smooth bass, or do you accept that a certain amount of mechanical noise comes with subwoofers? Because mine does get kind of loud, it just doesn't sound goodSomething wasn't right.

I have heard that Brahmas perform better in a ported enclosure but I am hesitant on dropping another $400 on a custom enclosure just to find that it still falls short of my expectations.Id build an enclosure close to specs ported for those subs and give them some breathing room. Thats me
No, I was using Rockford's pre-built ported enclosure that comes with dual Punch P3s. Now I'm using a 2.5 ft3 sealed enclosure.Was the same box used with both sets of subs? It really sounds like a box issue to me

It sounds great... I am still chasing down vibrations from the car but the bass is great. It is loud and smooth. You can hear when the subs change from sounding great to over-excursion. The sound, even on the same bass note, will change. If you had P3 12's you should have been able to make your eyes blurry from the bass with 1800w of Kicker power. I kid you not. The P3's are well built aluminum subs with good motors. They can hit some pretty low notes.This is such a subjective question, but did it sound good to you?

I think a ported enclosure towards tuning has always been closer to my expectations rather than sealed. Its been worth every penny spent. You can get a Glue and Screw tuned enclosure for less than $400 bucks from GP AudioI have heard that Brahmas perform better in a ported enclosure but I am hesitant on dropping another $400 on a custom enclosure just to find that it still falls short of my expectations.
what type of enclosure do you use?Something wasn't right. My P3 10's on a RF Prime 1200 mono amp just last night was bouncing my roof, my mirrors and I could feel it like crazy in my chest to Beastie Boys "Intergalactic"
It is a "prefab" slot ported enclosure and so close to spec for these subs it crazy. 1" baffle. Tuned to like 37hz iirc.what type of enclosure do you use?
Thank you for your reply sir.It is a "prefab" slot ported enclosure and so close to spec for these subs it crazy. 1" baffle. Tuned to like 37hz iirc.
