dawgs007 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I figured this is the best place to gain opinions on this topic... My current subwoofer setup is: 12" Power Acoustik Mofo-122X T-Line box tuned to 32hz Soundstream Picasso 1.1200d Bullz Audio 2.2 Farad Capacitor and I recently heard a buddies' setup and was curious why his seemed to hit so much deeper. His car (Mercury Cougar) shook like crazy and I could about feel my throat being ripped out due to the vibration from the lows . My setup gets loud, but it appears to be louder on the high notes and not hit the low notes nearly as hard. His setup was: 12" Rockford Fosgate P3 Sealed box (not sure on dimensions or tuning of it) JL 300/4 amp My setup is "rated" higher (I know I will achieve nothing like what they advertise), but it really is nowhere near his smaller setup. I was wondering if you guys had any input on the culprit as to why my setup is substantially more quiet on the low notes and not quite as loud in general. And for what it's worth, my sub is "rated" at 2700W max and 1500W rms. And the amp is 1,200W rms. His sub is rated at 600W rms and 1200W peak. Current Setup: 2002 Ford Focus SE (stock electrical) -Kenwood Excelon KDC-X397 -Infinity Kappa 6x9's in each door -Rockford Fosgate Prime R1200-1D -2 12" Rockford Fosgate P3D2 Backups: -12" Power Acoustik Mofo-122X in 36hz T-Line box -Soundstream Piasso P1.1200D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthsayer Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The vehicle itself plays a big roll. Also are dropping voltage a little or a lot. Are you running a second battery? Their are just so many factors that i'm not sure if anyone could give you a definitive answer. truthsayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgs007 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The vehicle itself plays a big roll. Also are dropping voltage a little or a lot. Are you running a second battery? Their are just so many factors that i'm not sure if anyone could give you a definitive answer. When bass hits at full knob and about 1/2 gain, the lights slightly dim. And I understand that there's no definite answer there... just looking for opinions of an experiences community. And I am curious if the lack is more in the Subwoofer or the Amp?
