Getting into speakers, you should probably get a component set. Not sure what price range you're looking at, but the Infinity Perfect components supposedly are pretty loud and bright.

what kinda amp? Your subs can handle 2100 RMS power, so consider an orion 2500D..produces 2500 watts X1 @1ohm RMS...I am suspecting your amp is a cheap-o "1800 watt" flea market amp, but who knows. You should be able to get higher numbers with 6 of those kenwood 12's.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd say your lucky hitting the 143 you got with those Kenwood subs. Their not really intended to be ultimate spl subs.

adam,

What kind of vehicle do you have? What is the RMS rating on those subs? What kind of boxes do you have?

If you have the room for a big ported box...then I think some of us here can help yu out.

Adam, dump the Legacy amp first. Invest on a good amp like Orion G4/XTR/SX, Zapco, JL, PPI etc.
It's the amp that drives the subs.
Are you using HO alternator? Without it, you won't get max power.

oh, and yeah an nice set of 6x9's will jump you from a 143 to a good 155. no 6x9's wont help, but a ported box will.

"if u wanna win then fork some money out on some better woofers."

That's what I was kinda referring to earlier. lol.

But if he does get a better amp and goes ported (if he's not already) he should be able to raise his numbers.
