i have a 10 w7 hooked up with a 500/1 jl amp connected to the head unit with a high/low converter, would the subwoofer knock more with a new head unit?
it would have a better signal going to it.....so i am gonna say yes! as well as your sound quality would go up as well....now if they don't make a kit for your car and you actually like your headunit JL makes a handy little device call the cleansweep that is basically a Auto eq that cleans up the signal and does a preamp to rca's to make the signal as clean as it can get from the original...it rivals eclipse decks from what i have seen in reviews about it.....also handy for a stealth kinda thing...most people will see the stock deck in the car and think it won't have a lot of money tied up in the stereo! i can't tell you a price as i have only put one in since the start of sale on them....but i am sure you can find them on the internet!
Cleansweep is over $300. Yes getting a new HU with rca will make it sound better. Unless you have high quality LOC, you will get less deep bass with increase in volume.
ok thanks very much for the help, another thing my w7 does not hit as hard a my friends Two 10W3v2-D4 hookeed up to the same 500/1 jl amp as mine(his is in the jl ported enclousure and mine is in a no name box could this be why??
the box has a lot to do with it.......a 10W7 is right where it needs to be if it's in a sealed box....ported you could go up to 750watts but you really won't gain a whole lot.....i would just build a better box...use the JL specs and build it to ported specs if you want it to hit harder!
