No coupon codes or free shipping, gotta pay for it. Music is dynamic plus you gotta factor in amp efficiency so that amp will not be putting out 400 watts all the time or most of the time. Just set your gains right to match the preout voltage of your source (headunit) and you will be fine.

subs forward was used for competing where the rear seat was folded down, not firing directly into the rear seat.

I don't understand why you want your sub to play midbass. It's a Subwoofer, not a Midwoofer ! You can get a (good) component set, instal it right with dampening and everything. It will play midbass as you want. But you'd better chose some good speakers for that, not always the most expensive. I run a set of Focal 165 KP, and my midbass are niiiice ! If I turn down the sub, my system can still play music nicely. You don't need an expensive set like that but I found some Aura midbass speakers recently, they are very cheap and really nice in the midbass area ! All you need with them, is a tweeter that can be cross low enough. Good luck !

Perhaps you should change your order to something else.

I am curious as to what causes you to say that. I have yet to see or hear where optima actually lasts in someone's vehicle that is into car audio. Also, I believe the charging requirements for optima is stricter than xs so if he ever got a high output alt that charged closed to 15v, that could be another problem. I have a buddy who bought 4 Group 34 yellow tops used 3 years ago, and they are still holding up strong. And he used them for car audio the whole time, and as did the guy before him. And they have had a HO alternator charging at 14.9ish the whole time also. Still no problem. Seems you heard of a few insists of Optimas failing and now thinking they all must be the same way. Sound kind of ignorant to me. A good percent of the time when something fails, its user error. And usually on the internet, people rarely tell the whole truth when talking about a problem they had with a product, so they can blame the company instead of theirself. Now, if you have had countless amount of Opti's and have countless problems, I could understand. But going direct on hear say isn't always truthful. Not trying to single you out, but people read a few bad things and automatically think the product sucks. And sometimes the own company.

hmm try taking your dustcap off maybe at 1ohm your just pushing to much air for it to be loud .................only thing that makes sense
