lowrhadur Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 What I have...2002 GMC YukonNo third row.Pioneer DEH-X8600BS head unitPioneer DEH-8601 monoblock ampPrefab ground shaker slot ported 3.7cf boxSingle kicker 15" CVR DVC 4OHMThis sub is rated at 500rmsThe amp is @ a 2 OHM load @ 500watts rmsThis sub slams pretty good, but it's over powered and not quite doing it for me.I have an extra pioneer DEH-8601 amp BNIBHave been looking at replacing my kicker with a DC Audio lvl 3 15 DVC 2 OHM and running my current amp at 1 OHM @ 800watts in my current prefab box.Eventually, adding another DC sub for two total in a custom box running both pioneer amps @ 1 OHMShould I notice much of a difference between the single kicker at 500 watts compared to the new DC @ 800watts?Thanks in advance.

BassInMyBLood Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 A custom box made for those subs and what you want out of it will make the biggest change. you can have a crappy sub and a perfect box and it would sound sweet, but you could have the most badass sub and a crappy box and its going to sound crappy. and the lower ohm you go the less resistance the wire will see resulting in more power flow. not to mention that dc audio is a great company. just make sure that the amp you plan on using can handle a 1ohm load, if not you could destroy your system.
