    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.

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

    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?

    2. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

      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.

  5. KickersintheTrunk

    Lmfao I'm so confused. Don't understand why these wiring diagrams are showing different things.

      Its really not that hard. Use this link, just enter the number of subs and what vc they have.

    SHCA wire is definitely worth the cash. Looks extremely nice.

    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?

      use mat instead of the loose stuff

    4. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

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

  9. KickersintheTrunk

    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?

    1. CJ18

      CJ18

      Use 1 side for + and the other for -

    2. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

      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.

  10. KickersintheTrunk
    Looks good, around the same price range as the original or not set a price yet?
  11. KickersintheTrunk

    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

    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.

    3. Jessica

      Jessica

      explain how he is suppose to either wire at 2ohm or 1 ohm? Magic?

    4. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

      The subs are DVC^

  13. KickersintheTrunk

    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?

    1. Neckbeard

      Neckbeard

      2 4x8 sheets

    2. thefourth

      thefourth

      Single sheet will be MORE than enough

      Build a ported box. Its two extra pieces.

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

  17. KickersintheTrunk
    And I thought I had a nice build lmfao. Keep it up bro
  18. KickersintheTrunk

    What would be a reasonable price to pay for a sealed box for 2 12's. The box will fit in the trunk so shouldn't be too big or complicated.

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Where are you located. I got a sealed box for two 12's sitting right here, covered in black carpet.

    2. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

      Yeah I have a box too haha. I want one made specifically made for the subs though. I'm located in North Carolina.

  23. KickersintheTrunk

    Upgraded my battery terminal to a Gold Stinger Pro, and re crimped my power cable because the end of the wire looked black and dirty and the wires felt funny. Damn did it make a difference, brought some new life to my system.

    1. Kyblack76

      Kyblack76

      Good on ya. How? Did the meter prove good ??!!

    2. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

      Don't have a meter haha, but it was definitely an improvement. Wish I would've measure the voltage before and after.

  24. KickersintheTrunk
    Sounds pretty cool, entered.
  25. KickersintheTrunk

    Wondering how much better my system will sound with a box designed for my subs

      Cool well that's good to know. I don't have the tools to build my own box. Should I design one and have a shop build it?

    4. KickersintheTrunk

      KickersintheTrunk

      Or should I buy the tools I will need, if so what will I have to buy?
