  1. How much is sound deadening going to quiet down me hearing my exhaust? I love hearing my exhaust while driving my Mustang, it's one of the reasons I have it. I don't want my trunk ratltling though. Anyone have experience with this?

      Regular sound deadening will not stop sounds from entering the vehicle. It is to stop panel resonance. You have to use closed cell foam to quiet road noise.

      I feel like my exhaust cancels out the bass to a certain extent. Hmmm, I wonder if installing quiet mufflers would increase meter scores.

  2. Ha who else volunteers to take their car out just to hear some bass?

  3. So i just rewired my 4 ohm Kicker Compvr's to 1 ohm and changed the wiring to SHCA 12 gauge OFC and now there is a constant beep that sounds like its coming from my amp. The beep was never there before. Any ideas guys?

      Start a thread.

      What amp? is it 1 ohm stable? the new 12 ga wiring is your speaker wire right?

      Its a pioneer Gm D-8601. It's one ohm stable. 800 watts at 1 ohm. Subs are DVC 4 ohm Kicker Compvr 12's 400 watt RMS. Yes the new wiring is speaker wire.

  4. Waiting on some SHCA speaker wire =)

  5. Gonna try out some polyfil in my box. I know my box is on the lower end of the Manufacturers recommendations. The box is ported. Will using some strong spray adhesive inside the port to secure the polyfil to the box work? Or should I secure it inside the box?

      Pack it in meaning not securing it? Will be back for results sometime tomorrow.

  6. Probably a dumb question but here it goes. When speaker wire is split into two sides do you use one side of the wire for negative and the other for positive? Or run both through the positive and a separate run for the negative?

      Use 1 side for + and the other for -

      Thanks bro, had single wire before one for + and one for -. But upgrading to some SCHA 12 gauge OFC speaker wire and just had to ask haha.

  7. Help me real quick please. On a monoblock amp with 2 subwoofers hooked up is that 2 channels or 1? Sorry if this is a dumb question its just making my head hurt haha

  8. So I got 2 kicker Compvr 12's wired at 1 ohm using a Pioneer Gm-8d601 amp, was thinking about getting a T-1400.1D Skar amp. These subs are rated at 400 RMS each. Anyways was wondering if anyone has any input on this, thanks.

      The Pioneer Gm-8D601 is good at 1 ohm and is 800 RMS for what you have. But if you do go for the Skar T-1400.1D at 2 ohm its 700 RMS and 1400 RMS at 1 ohm if you want to go 3 or 4 subs.

  9. Gonna try and build my first box next weekend, if anyone wants to help with a design HMU. Probably going with a sealed box since I never had one and space is limited. Box will be for 2 Kicker CompVr's. How much MDF should I get?

      At that price you can get a BHE box with almost every option you want including premium paint on the double kerf'd port.
