Okay now i know a lot of people just post things that they could have found with a simple visit to google but i have so many questions and most audio stores don't really want to tell me anything other then "oh well if you buy our box it will be louder" "If you would buy this box it would also have more bass."
Yeah i have heard it all before.
So here is my question. I am looking at a pretty big build and i have already started.
(i am sorry i have no pictures)
I took out my backseat and put in a false floor to hold my subwoofers. Now what i had before was 2 KFC-W3012 sub-woofers (2 12 inch kenwood subwoofers if you too lazy to look)
And 1 KAC-8014D amp (1,000 kenwood amp)
Now this system was bought from audioexpress and i used the box that they gave me (probably a mistake)
It was pretty loud but it would cut out a lot. I talked to a lot of people and i got about 4 different answers of how to fix it
1. Get bigger gauge wire
2. Bigger alternator
3. Capacitor
4. Extra battery
Now i (sadly) did up deciding to go with the bigger gauge wire. From a 4 gauge to a 0/1 gauge. Like i said, it made it louder but not really. Recently i talked to more people and i am hearing more about the extra battery. But what do you think? I really need some answers.
Alright, now to what i have now.
I really REALLY like how the kenwood sub-woofers handle so i decided that if i was going to get more or new sub-woofers i would go with the kenwoods.
I currently have 4 KFC-W3012 sub-woofers with a KAC-9104D 1,800 watt amplifier. I haven't installed it yet because i ended up taking out everything. And on top of that my Clarion stereo broke so there was really no use keeping that extra weight inside my car. I now am looking to upgrade to a Kenwood stereo. Again what kind of stereo do you think i should get? I have looked around at a lot but i am not really sure what i want yet.
Again moving on, What i want to do with my car is put my 4 sub-woofers in the back, where my back seat is. And then put my extra battery(s) in the trunk along with my amplifier. Yes, almost like Steve's honda.
Now, the problem i hit right now is that i have the false floor in place but with the box i am really stressing about. I know that the box is REALLY important to the sub-woofer build.
(Oh side note, i am not planning on pushing my 4 sub-woofers with that 1800 watt amplifier. I was thinking about getting either another 1800 watt amp or getting 4 1,000 watt kenwood amplifiers. Like the one i had but obviously one for each sub-woofer. Again what do you recommend)
So really my question is what kind of box should i build? Right now my idea is to take the box i currently have, and just remake it. Then build 2 of them. Stick a cover panel on the front of the 2 boxes (which would be on top of each other) to make it look almost like one box. The reason is i KNOW for a fact that this box build bumps pretty well. But if there is a different box build that i should do let me know. For me this is the most stress on my mind right now. Any answers are really really appreciated.
If you want dimensions let me know and i will take out some measuring tape and measure anything you need.
