Instead of going with what i orgianlly planned on saving for "2 kicker solobaric L7 12"s or 15"s, i was to anxious about getting a sub i saw what looked like a decent deal on a 12" orion h2 in a subzone vented box made just for it. i think the box's 1.50 cubic feet or 1.75. ANYWAY, i have it hooked up to a CRAPPYY free DUAL 2 channel amp set in briged mode, it says it puts out 230watts in briged mode. So the sub seems to be running weak and it cutts off when i turn the vol up after a short period of time...this i expected. But my question is.. Once i get a amp to actually run this baby..say 1500 watts RMS instead of 230...how much of a diffrence in SPL and quality...overall loudness...etc do u think i will experience?? THANKS! |

Gold Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 1037 Registered: Feb-05 | High Output Alternator is the number 1 thing. other upgrades are Deep Cycle battery or extra batteries, isolators, and or course larger wireing and the "Big 3." |
