_paralyzed_ Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 It should be in a box that the manufacturer recommends for the sub. Do either of the boxes you have meet Ground Zero's recommendation for a box?You won't blow the sub trying your other box.Ground Zero's recommendations- Box recommendation vented 55 Liter / 1.94 cu.ft. - Rohr / Tube 2 x Ø 8 cm / 3.15" - L = 20 cm / 8" Box recommendation sealed 20 - 28 Liter / 0.7 - 1.0 cu.ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I don't see a problem, you could though reverse mount the sub to gain some space inside and be closer to the manufacturer spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintich Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I have now found out that my RCA's is not even pushing out the right power that it should do.... With the gain ALL the way it sends out about 16v to the speaker terminals.... so that is like no power att all when i have it tuned like it should bee. So I will install a new radio in front and run the RCA's from there. (have RCA cables soldered to the bakspeakers right now) so i gues that will give me abit more power allso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I hope you were using a LOC to interface with the amp from the speakers, It will be a great idea to get an aftermarket HU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedal Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yes, that's what an LOC is. Line output converter. What LOC were you using? Out of curiosity. A new HU would be much better than any LOC.

I personally don't think I'll ever go the LOC route again. I've used them in the past, they're great for cheap installs for those who don't want to spend much money, but after seeing that most do not output a clean signal, if I ever need to retain factory radio, I'll use a DSP. More expensive, but much worth it from what I've seen. Good luck with your head unit decision. Lots of good choices, don't cheap out!
