I'm about to give up on car audio!!!

Yes I am positive it's wired to 1 ohm. Rear speakers are still in, its a daily driver so I dont wanna take them out. I'm not trying to win comps but I wanna know why my stuff is hitting so soft.

you wont miss those speakers. ill bet they sound like ass anyways.

I'll bet your wrong. They are infinity reference and actually sound pretty damn good.

your arguement is that you have $50 coaxials? i bet they sound like ass lol. im really not trying to be a dick, i just found that funny. but the pressure from the subs will make those speakers distort. doesnt matter what they are.

i gave two other options though. the 1st one was the most important.

I'm not saying they are the best on the market, also weren't $50 as I see your running 6.5" Pioneer rears... Dont think they cost much more...

Also not all about trying to argue on here. Just trying to get some help and didn't see how taking out the rear speakers was going to help me.

Having removed my rear speakers, I can confirm that it does help. It's louder w/o the speakers back there cause it allows more bass into the cabin area via those openings. Not necessarily a night and day difference like he's trying to suggest, but enough to keep me from putting the rear speakers back in. So basically what i'm saying is taking the rears out isn't going to make your bass blow your wig back if it's underwhelming right now.

whats you deck settings? what kind of music(mp3 burned cd or store bought actual copies?

did you charge the cap?

I'm sorry but that is one retarded ass question, the source of the music has no effect, the bit rate does.

Hmm, 2 sets of 4ga. running over 3k rms. That right there seems like a problem in and of itself. What is the specs on that box you built, the second one. Is the sub firing directly into the port or does the port wall extend to behind the motor of the sub? Like others have said, I think the box is too close to the trunk wall too. I think you want it to be at least as far away from the trunk wall as the port is wide....so if your port is 4" wide then you want the box at least 4" from the trunk wall, for example.

Thats what I built the box to. I don't have much more room to push it back because of amp/battery/cap/dist blocks.

its an re xxx 12 u just need more power that should get her movin

What car?

Is that an 05xxx or new style?

What box specs is that box?

[CstrokerV]

if the knob is a gain and not bass boost try redoing it with the dd1 with it all the way up

Other than maybe the fact it is close to the hatch I don't see this as being a trunk problem, I can't even fold down my seats and mine gets damn loud in the albeit the trunk lid has padding on it stock and is tightly sealed lol.

I agree, wiring could be a problem. Wheres your ground at broski, to the frame right?
