[QUOTE="Wildbillpb, post: 6813177, member: 621784"] I have two kicker l7 15" that are not getting as loud as I expected. I have them hooked up to a lanzar 282 (shitty amp) bridged which I am guessing the amp is probably pushing 800-900 to ea rms with 0 guage wires. The thing is they are not as loud as I thought they would be I have heard two 12" l5's get louder. I have not been in the car audio for a while and I came back and bought what I knew but they are not doing what I thought they were capable of I had two p2 12" 4 years ago that were louder. So is it that the amp is THAT shitty that it is that bad or could it be my box? My box was not caulked when I got it. Could it be a leak? Should I go back and caulk it? Also, I have the voice coils wired in parrallel and the speakers in series, which is a 4 ohm load. I did not think that it would make a difference but should I go back and wire the voice coils in series? One last thing, could it be the way my cars trunk is? It is a 94 lincoln town car so there is a shelf in it where it dips down into the bigger portion of the trunk it looks like this : [IMG]http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af244/Wildbillpb/156k.jpg[/IMG] Thats not my actual trunk but it is the exact same. Should I flip the woofers to face up or should I leave them facing the back of the trunk? [/QUOTE]
