    well my car has a stock mounting location in the dash up by the window for tweeters but they were not offered in my model. I would like to place them there but i don't know how to get them the wires there. I was considering having a car audio shop do it but i kinda like doing my own work because its a learning experience but i don't wanna tear stuff up. since i know the people at the shop i may see if i can help with the install so i can know how to do it later.

    does anyone have experience with polk audio 6x9s? I'm going to upgrade the door speakers soon and want to know what coaxial would be best.. i know a component system would be preferable but idk if i want to go through the trouble.

    i messed up when i built the port and made a few miscalculations and my port boards aren't behind my baffle board and i didnt seal it properly and i think the tuning is messed up because some songs you can barely tell are hitting

    the box is terrible but i love the amp and the speakers are good value. however, not good quality. I think i should find something better but i definately have to rebuild that box if not

    well i'm wanting to upgrade anyway and i'm pretty sure if i go with the 18 its going to be a hell of alot louder and i don't want to go through the process of building a new box if i'm just going to replace it with an 18.

    sorry forgot to mention the size. they are 12" CVR's. i'm almost positive a bl 18" will outslam the cvr's and i believe that may be the route i'm going, but i was wondering how much harder a 15" fi would hit if at all. My boxes tuning is all f'd up because of a miscalculation. It's tuned to like 55 hz and most of my music don't play that high so it really sounds bad at times right now. I have Rockford 4 Gauge wire. Stock alternator and battery but plan to upgrade at least the battery. I would think the 15" bl, being a much better quality sub, would put the cvr's to shame. I would like to tune the port of my next box to around 30 to 33 hz. Sorry for the info. overload just wanted to provide any information necessary to answer my question the best.

    I have two kicker cvr's in a 4.4 cubic foot box. Would a 15" Fi Bl hit harder in nearly the same size enclosure? I have a rockford 1000-1bd for power and the system is in a 2008 dodge caliber.

    i cant really tell the difference but its probably terrible for the subs bc if one is hitting harder than the other its gonna be pulling or pushing the other one sometimes and i don't imagine thats good if its against the way the speaker is supposed to be going in accordance with the voice coil...but that ma isn't working right now

    well the amp only produces 600 rms at 4 ohms bridged so it shouldn't produce enough at 8 ohms to blow that kicker should it? it's supposed to handle 400 rms and i have it turned down a little bit to be sure not clip the sub...i think i need a capacitor bc at times my amp doesnt seem to be producing enough power

    the arc audio was just a piece of shit to begin with...and the ma was old and had been through hell plus i think i wired it wrong...i have had that kicker in there for a few months wire at 8 ohms bridged and have the amp turned most of the way up and its been fine...

    I'm looking for a decent sub that i could possibly find on the internet for cheap with no warranty or anything. This sub is temporary so i'm not concerned about the sub blowing in a short amount of time; i just need it to last until this summer. I'm concidering buying 2 kicker cvr 12's...they are like $80 a piece...does anyone know of a sub that would be better around the same price range maybe $20-$50 more expensive

    btw i have a box that is like 2.5 cubic feet per chamber and the port is tuned to 33 hz according to an online tuning calculator
