Need help

Hi there,

I'm looking for some advice. I have a 00 Chevy Silverado Ext cab, with a system I'm not happy with. I have an Alpine 9887 head unit, one PG ZX350 running 2 Boston Pro10's in sealed enlclosure, one PG ZX250 running Boston SPZ components up front.

System sounds lousy....base is dirty, very uninspiring, and seems like not much power. Components sound nice untill pushed a bit, and mid starts clipping early.

I think a good part of my problem is setup, but I don't really have a clue where to start. I'm wondering if I'm simply underpowered for what I want. I'm considering moving the 350 onto the components and picking up something bigger for the subs. Any suggestions? Anybody know any good shops in the Winnipeg area that could help setup?

Thanks

how much space would I need per sub in a ported box? Right now they are in sealed enclosures under the rear seat, not much more room to be had. Would just upping the power help?

go with probably the same box for starters but just ported so the dimensions of what you have find out the specs of the subs and go to a local shop and seee what they say , but ported should get u to were u want go with a 800 rms amp
