nick23parker Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I currently have in my 04 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab: Kicker COMPVT 8 inch 4 ohms shallow mount subs (http://www.kicker.com/comp_vt) Dual XPA2500 50 watts x 2RMS (http://www.dualav.com/mobileaudio/xpa.php) Pioneer DEHP4200UB Headunit Toyota Tacoma Subwoofer Box (https://www.soundoffaudio.com/item.cfm/id/2118) The subs are behind my rear seat and sound pretty good but i feel like they aren't reaching the full potential. I, being 16, am new to the Car Audio world and i want to know if i am doing something wrong or anything i could do to improve the quality. I think it may be the amp that isn't powerful enough since i bought it in a pinch for a low price. I want to buy a mono amp and maybe upgrade to a 12 inch sub in the back seat. Thanks for the help.

dugee81 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 yeah, i think if you got a amplifier of better quality, it would help immensely. upgrading to a 12" that isn't shallow mount would help you seek your goals.

Winn Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Well dont expect gut wrenching bass from a shallow 8 in a sealed box on 100 rms But one of those is rated 400 RMS why only doing 50 per sub?

I was running out of money and needed something cheap. Now i ask what size amp should i buy to get these things going more?
