[Pickler 10+ year member]

So Ive had my system for a while, and it doesnt really seem that loud to me anymore. What are some upgrades I can do to get it louder? Maybe like recone the sub or add another amp or something? Im not looking to spend a lot of money.

lol but seriosly. Im just looking for a little upgrade to get my bass louder. Also, my car has a lot of rattle, would buying some sort of dynamat product make it louder? Or maybe just upgrade my deck?

Yea i would go with sound deadening your car, may not get louder but will sound better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

For real....

Pull your subs for a week or 2

When you put them back in you will be happy again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

What would you recomend that would be much louder with the same RMS? My sub is a DD9500d motor with RE SX softparts with ~1400 wats towards it.

You could clange the tuning on the enclosure and bump it up

And your h/u is a piece of garbage. Id definetly upgrade that to something with a bit more features. If going pioneer anything above the 7's should get you by

buy another sub and put it in the box

 

[Pickler 10+ year member]

yea im not looking to add another sub. I guess ill just do this for right now.

Im gonna buy a better deck with higher preouts and get some sort of dynamat product and see if my system sounds better. Also, what could i retune my box to to make it louder?

Raise the tuning to make it more " SPL" tuned

Have you experimented by switching the phase of the sub, meaning switching the connections ?

I would reccomend rammat for sound deadening. This stuff is quality & doesn't get hard over time & reasonably priced. You would definitely get more bass in the vehicle with a deadened trunk.

But seriously, experiment with the phase.

Oh btw this is just for daily driving, im just talking about louder to the ear, i dont care about what it meters.

also, how good is this deck? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KENWOOD-EXCELON-CD-HEADUNIT-PLAYER-KDC-X711-RDS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38641QQihZ018QQitemZ280036032565QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting

And what is the phase of the sub? I dont really know what that means.
