Bronze Member Username: Unreal_bassPost Number: 37 Registered: Nov-05 | i got my 1 13w7 installed with a diamond audio 1200.1 pushing it, its in a ported box tunned to 34hz in a 99 suburban, now i think its wired to 3 ohms so its not getting the full power of the amp to it (1200 @ 1 ohm) but still its dissapoint me for a 13w7 it shuld be playing louder and hitting harder, ive been told it needs a better amp to it, i needs a different ported box thats huggge (the port on the thing is rediculous) and still other say my suburban has a crap load of air to push for that one sub...i mean were talking shaking the review mirror just a lil bit... ask me if u need me to post pics, ill get em |

Bronze Member Username: Unreal_bassPost Number: 38 Registered: Nov-05 | but when i turn the volume up to high the sub stops playing, the amp still shows green and all and wen i look at the sub at loud volume on the head unit it seems like its ready to bottom out n makes that popping sound, im going to take pictures right now |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1648 Registered: Sep-04 | not true daryl. my 1 15 ava in my escalade (which is basically like a suburban) made my mirrors shake like h3ll, my hair shake, and my door panels even shake. |

Bronze Member Username: Unreal_bassPost Number: 41 Registered: Nov-05 | so just the amp is the problem? and even with a 1000/1 how much of a difference is it going to make? |

Gold Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 1650 Registered: Sep-04 | the 1000/1 will make a huge difference. with that amp you should hit anywhere fomr 135-145 with a 13w7. and even 135 is pretty damn loud. but you do know you'll need 2 1000/1s to run 2 13w7s right? |

Bronze Member Username: Unreal_bassPost Number: 42 Registered: Nov-05 | i already own a 2500d ready to hook up wen the other sub is repaired btw does a running a stop sign ticket raise ur insurance rate? |
