My subs 12", and 1200w are hooked up to a 900w 2ch amp, and they bump, but not loud, and if I crank radio, the speakers are louder than subs. The subs ARE NOT in a box, they are just lying on bottom of trunk, could that be why? Would i need a sealed box? I tried switting from RCA to hi input, but that didn't do much, in fact it almost killed my amp any suggestions?
Yeah I got a suggestion DON'T ever run your subs in free air unless they are made for free air usage get them in a box IF they aren't already torn up to hell. Good luck
Really? Jesus, I never knew that, and most of my subs that I have put in systems in past were free air, this one is DEF not, so tell me Are the torn to hell?
Well they probably are not damaged, if they still move and there are no signs of outer damage then they are probably good. How long were they in 'free air'.
yeah, they should be alright. Now you need to get a box. If you thought that playing the subs like that gave you SOME to NONE bass then once you box em up they will give you some bass.
