Yeah, see, the cap's a bandaid. Second battery, 0 gauge all around.

 

I heard a reference 12 in a 1 cube sealed box in a trunk and it sounded horrible.

 

this wouldn't be a sealed box. i dont think it actually like that. i have a 15'' in a sealed box. it sounds fine. i just want to upgrade. a big step upgrade

 

The MTX setup or even better, the 15" with it's box and somewhere around 2kwrms would be a very nice upgrade

 

If you want sound quality, dont buy an mtx sub... they are only good for SPL.

Basically any subwoofer upgrade will only sound so good, unless you have the mids/highs to go with it. Don't blow your wad on just bass.. think about it man.

I think of it like throwing a massive engine into a stock honda civic, but not bothering to upgrade the suspension and drivetrain to take the whole car to the next level.

Or like going to the gym and working out only your arms, pecs and abs.. It only makes you look good in the mirror. When you need to lift something heavy your back/legs will give out.

In a good SQ system the subwoofer will enhance the system (alot), but IMO the overall sound will still be pretty shitty without the mids/highs.

put 1kw to 1 SQL sub (like the IDMAX). This will be LOUD. then think about putting 150x2 for the front with some good quality components. Do a good install job with dampening in the right places and your system will truly kick ***.

 

i have 2 6x9 200wattmax pioneer's in the back and 2 4.5'' 320wattmax alpine type R's. they are all 2 way speakers. i have a deck with 210watt max. i dont know the RMS

 

Dead wrong. How many SPL awards has MTX taken home? How about SQ? Way too broad of a statement to be true

Agreed

Step by step fella. We have a grand to work with. The OP's priority is to upgrade the woofer, and to make a big step up. The rest of the system can follow when the budget allows.

 

OP, if the speakers are running off of the deck, the most you are getting rms is 13 watts per speak. The Type R's like somewhere in the range of 110-200wrms, the Pioneer most likely around the 50-75wrms area. You will need a 4 channel amp to get those speaks to their potential

 

i know, thats my next thing on my list of things to get. im kinda hoped up on the subwoofers at the moment. so that has a little prioretty.

 

is ther any way to seach a key word in classifieds? i dont see anything
