I would at least get a 50AH (amp hour) battery or so to help out with the system. Do you plan on adding anymore amplifiers to the car?

Dont get a capacitor, just get you a nice size secondary battery and you will be ok. What car and what size stock alternator do you have, the will really help us answer your question accurately?

No problem man, that is what Im here for (to share the limited knowledge I do have on things).

, I didnt even notice it at first when it was up and running.

I care how my 15" sounds in a ported enclosure.

Honestly it depends on the subs and if they are the same brand, plus a whole lot of other things.

One that is recommended for these subs, did you even go and look up what they give for enclosure specs? If so what are they? What size area do you have available to put an enclosure, give us max dimensions for anybody to be able to help you (length x width x depth).

Reading is very fundamental

x2, but if you still want the BTL that amp will be suitable until you buy another one if you still feel you need another one.

A batcap is a battery with a faster discharging rate, naw a 800 wouldnt be the best battery for your application. Do you plan on adding any more amps in the car? You can only wire your sub two ways: 1 ohm or 4ohms I would choose the 4 ohm load option and yeah the batcap 800 would work under those circumstances but not if you ran it at 1 0hm.

Damn that is tough but that is car audio for ya, either it doesnt want to work out for ya (whether it is one thing or many things). I dont even want to know what they will charge for a replacement cd if you wanted one.

Ya I wish my elbow didnt crack my rockford fosgate 3sixty.2 cd. It had like 100 tracks on it with sweeps and whatnot so we could see where this thing started sounding like crap. Just get some sweeps from shizzzon, that is where I got mine from (they are in a link in his signature).

Welcome and glad you could join us

We have tried everything that was mentioned on this thread except for the deadening, and I still have the same problems. There is no mid bass. Damn that is crazy, I put my Eminence Alphas(true midranges) on High Pass Frequency at 30Hz and was getting some midbass from them. Maybe it might be those components after all. Hope you get this figured out ASAP.

Please read the manual next time before installing, they always say to mount your amp before playing especially driving around with it. Why rush the install just to have something to listen to in the short run but now have no bump in the long run, I guess lesson learned. If it is still under warranty I wouldnt open the amp cause that voids the warranty, plus if you dont even know what your doing or how to fix it then opening it wouldnt serve a purpose either. I would contact Jacob or db-r.com and see what they can do for you first.

Another thing to think about is either raising his budget for a better set of components but some will tell you that it will be hard to find the mid-bass he is looking for in a 6.5" speaker also (not saying that cant do it but a bigger midbass speaker would help with the lack of midbass). What is he looking for from his midbass speakers, just louder midbass?

Keep the pics coming

have fun with and find something that can hold you over for awhile just dont rush something to throw it in there and be unsatisfied with it.

Santa came early

Damn that looks nasty, hopefully it gets better for you and you can get it fixed.

1. No, an AGM battery can withstand vibrations and such, I had my Xstatic Batcap 800 on my box for 2 years and no problems. 2. Hell yeah a 1500 will be too much for a 8" sub since they are only recommended to do 400rms (common sense), unless all your doing is burping the speaker. For daily that is ridiculous but it also depends if you have a D1 or D2 ohm subwoofer. 3. Yes a second battery is needed if everything in your car is stock.

yeah

I have a pair of these audiobahn. They are from an old setup of mine.. I'm not repairing it to use, I'm repairing it to help sell the pair in this box. I've been through multiple setup. But if you still wish to give some opinions, here's my goals and whatnot: much spl, sq isn't a real concern because with as loud as I will be playing, it won't make much difference. I have a 99 pontiac grand am. I'm looking into (for my next install): 1 18" btl 230 amp h/o alt yellow top optima battery big three upgrade You will not be able to fit an 18" in there and it sound right, get the 15" and put it in 5ft^3 and call it a day.

Well fuck it if you think speakers with more power will help then go for what you know, kinda pointless to ask for help and not use it wisely. These guys know what they are talking about, if they say you need deadening then get it because eventually your gonna need it anyway. But good luck *Oh yeah the power levels of a speaker dont determine jack shit, so buying speakers with more power does not guarantee to you will be louder at all.

First take the cap out of your car or whoever has one. Like stated above it is not his head unit that makes it louder, just set your amp's gain setting to match your pre-out voltage (which will give you the same results as stated above). The car makes the sound seem different in two different vehicles with the same equipment, plus his stock electrical is probably better then yours which will provide more power. So a line driver wont do it, read all these post above carefully and you will understand no line driver.
