jf1984 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hey everyone. Wasn't certain where to start in here, but here goes. I have a 08 Sedona that I'm looking to get the most efficient sound out of. Just starting out and wanted to do it right. From research online, I'm having a hard time finding good info on a simple setup in a van. So, I went out and bought some Alpine 15's with a ported box and Pioneer mono 1200w amp. And I'll say it's not too bad but I'm not happy with it. Running a pretty much stock battery and a stock 130A alt with 4 ga power and ground. Big 3 installed as well. Just seems the Alpine 15s don't have very good quality or the box isn't all that good. The box has a placard on the front "Bbox" if that helps any. I'm somewhat pressed for space, but if I need to go bigger I will. Any insight on this info provided, feel free to say. Criticism...either positive or negative is welcome. I'm not judgmental Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCP Audio Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 why do you want it deleted? also pics can help us help you PSN: Rcp_soundz Good rule of thump is go by what fuse size is being used in these amps. The higher the more amperage it pulls, this is what I look at. I'll stick a 300 amp fuse in a potato and sell it to you for $2k. 1991 Mazda 323VERY small build thread here: http://www.stevemead...23-small-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighossf150 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 You could try a custom box instead of the prefab Used to have a loud truck 2009 Corvette Z06, H/C/I, 150 shot, g force tune, 730rwhp/690rwtq 2013 F-150 limited, MPT Tune, leveled on 35"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jf1984 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 If that's too much to go through, let me know and I can sift through and post it here. Might make it a bit easier to get to the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Box seems small and tuned to high also the amp only does 500 rms at 2ohms might try a bigger amp since the subs are 500 rms so a amp that does 1000rms at 2ohms and a better box might help ypu my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf1984 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 The guy at the dealer told me that amp is under rated... Idk, the coil area on the subs get pretty warm after running them for a while. Gain set at a hair under "normal" level. I agree 100% on the box especially after reading the specs.
