Question

Hello

I have 2 DEI 2400D amps, a total power of 4800+ Watts RMS. I currently have 2 pioneer TSW5000SPL subs, 1 per amp. I’m not satisfied. (Not enough bass) so I’m looking to replace them with 4 12” subs, but i have no idea what subs will be best.

I'd tell you what to do, but for some reason I don't think you'd hear me. You are nuts.

I’m into comps. I only hit 143db. And with the system I have, that kind of score is embarrassing.

my system is as follows

pioneer AVIC-N1
kenwood 320watt 4 ch.
2 DEI 2400D Amps
2 Pioneer TSW5000SPL subs
1 DEI 50 farad power cap
2 red cap battries
all this in a deawoo nubrea

The box is spec. 1.5 for both subs, the gain on the amps are low less then half, but the remote sub level control is at max. also the deck sub contral is at max, and the eq on the deck is on. cant remember the settings on the eq. i know one thing for sure i'v had those subs hit bottom, not a nice sound. I must be doing something wrong.

are you talking a sealed box?find out which frequency the is loudest in your vehical should be between 40 and 70 hz and then build a ported box 5-7 hz below the hz which is loudest in your vehical.

if this car is also your daily driver you might want to build a box with interchangeable ports to tune it lower for daily driving
