Thanks for the advice. I believe I'm gonna try the Pioneer 12 shallow mount 2ohm sub. It looked pretty nice and only had a 3.5" mount depth. Getting a Pioneer TS-SW1201S2, handles 400w rms, 1500 peak. I heard great things about JL audio, and how clean their subs sound, but don't know a lot about their W1 series. If I had the space I'd

Got a new question for folks. Trying to decide between an Alpine Type S 12" Sub (4ohm Dual Voice Coil) vs. JL Audio 12W1 vs Pioneer TS-SW1201S4 (4Ohm) or TS-SW1201S2 (2Ohm). or other suggestion. This will be going into a 2001 Corvette with a Custom Box needing a shallow mount woofer. Mounting Depth cannot be more than 5.75" due to space restrictions

Anyone have any thoughts or comments on an Audio Control EpiCenter?

So far the 15" Alpine R sounds pretty good, hits really low but missing a little bit of the punch that the two Infinity 10" subs had. The Alpine sounds like it could use more power than the PDX 1.600 amp is putting out. I talked to some friends here locally and some had suggested a few things. One was to increase the line in voltage since

Just a quick update. I got lazy and bought a prefab ported box for 2 10" subs to fit the infinitys in. It has 1.07 cubic feet per chamber with the port in the center between the subs. It made a huge difference compared to the sealed box they were in. They hit pretty hard now for their size. Shakes everything in the truck now, before it was a mild

Thanks. I'll be sure to post up here on what I end up doing. If I build a box, would it be easier to go by the perfect 10 manual link you sent on an earlier post? http://manuals.harman.com/INF/CAR/Boxes%20and%20Parameters/PERFECT10.pdf Just wondering how deep the box would have to be to put in a 18" long port, unless I have the port firing

Thanks again. My friend that did have the 13w7 in his truck did have it in a ported box. It seriously hurt to sit inside when he turned it up even half way. I'll have to save up a little to have a custom one built or I may try to build one myself once I figure out all the dimensions of the box and how to make the port.

Wow, its hard for me to imagine my 2 perfect 10's ever sounding louder than a 13w7. I am thinking about taking these from the sealed box and putting them in a ported box to see how they sound.

Here's what I have so far as far as my setup and equipment. I have a 2000 Chevy Suburban. Upgraded the factory receiver to the Alpine iDA-X200 Digital Media Receiver, got the receiver with wiring harness from Crutchfield. The factory system had onstar and a factory sub. The wiring kit from the head unit directly plugs into the factory plug, but

Thank you so much for that advice. I think I've got my gains set too high, and at first I did have the bass boost on the receiver on and later decided to turn it off, because it just sounded bad at higher volumes. That is excellent advice on tuning the gains, and makes very good sense. I just didn't think about it. Another thing someone told
