    Hey guys! Thanks for checking out this video, quick note: I misspoke and said the sub was a 10W3 in the video, but it's a 10W1v3. Which makes the bass output even more impressive being as this sub is running on its rated power of 300 watts RMS. Thanks again for tuning in!

      I didn't think a sealed box that small could even handle 200w RMS, let alone 300...? Does it depend on the suspension of the sub...?

      @caraudiofabrication I have a question, if you could please answer that would be great. I would like to add after market speakers to my car. I have 2 dash speakers, 2 front door speakers and 2 rear deck speakers. Is it possible to run the door and rear deck speakers on an after market amp. but run the dash speakers on my factory amp. The dash speakers I plan on running only have an RMS of 15w. Im asking this because I currently have a 2 channel amp that I would like to use so I dont have to spend the extra money.

      @Brian1. 4 роки тому +2

      @@youngmanlee6022You can do that but I strongly not reccomend that and here is why. Being that your dash speakers would only have 15 watts of power means that those speakers will max out long before the speakers that are hooked up to the external amplifier. You will risk blowing those dash speakers. In my opinion I would wait and buy a 4 or 6 channel amplifier. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions bro.

    I like and enjoy your videos and I try not to miss any of them. One thing I have come to see though is that 99% of what you do and how you do it is simply not possible for 90% of us folks in this current environment. I am still using all of the equipment that I had almost 15 years ago. My son and I have a pair of Ford Mustangs and we love car audio but I just got my daughter through College and my son still has two years to go. I am 100% disabled as well. The sad truth is that most of us simply can’t afford all the cool things you do here. Your videos are becoming increasingly more and more “high end” and it leaves many of us sitting here and dreaming and wishing. It would be nice to see you get back to your roots, where you started and actually do some things that us poor broke folks can actually afford to do.
    Please understand. I love your videos and I am a diehard fan. Sadly though, all I can afford to do is be that kid at Christmas looking at all of the toys through a giant window at Macy’s. We can’t afford Crutchfield and Audio Control, JL Audio, etc. Keep doing what you do sir but don’t forget us little guys that have to make do with the flea market stuff.

Replaced it with a Kicker shallow mount truck sub, filled the holes and added fill. Not gonna win many contests but YYZ by Rush is alive again.

    I just ordered a JL stealth box for my 2010 GMC Sierra Ext cab. I hope the 2 10w1v3 subs sound good. I’ll be running them off a conservatively rated 600 watt Alpine amp. Should be clean. I had a 12w0 in a large sealed box to get them deep lows. I don’t care about loud as much as I do about frequency range. I like my bass deep. Unfortunately room is a hot commodity so hopefully JL audios tuned enclosure will really help me get the most out of the space I have available. Always loved JL.

    It's very apparent you know what your doing have been in the game for some time. I had a idea for you since you do work on such a big verity of vehicles. Say you want to build motor to push 800 hp out of an LS, there's websites and tons of places you can buy the blueprints with every single part they used to prove the engine was reliable and dyno to show the numbers. So you have the easiest way to build no more guessing games.
    I had a friend that just passed away. Well, he left me behind a 2004 2 door 2WD blazer. Which I'll be building soon. Audio wise I haven't touched the shit since early 2000s. Man I even have a real zapco eq put up. What if when you build any car you figured a way to record what it sounds like I think you guys call it DP or something. Not sure, again I'm more a muscle car guy an haven't been into music in a very long time. Have a few other ppl also judge what the system sounds like in that specific vehicle your working on and add a parts list with every speaker amp sub, cables etc etc you used so others can just use that as a chart
    Just a thought

    I have a 2004 Cadillac XLR with the 9 speaker Bose system that consists of 10” woofers in each door, 3” full range for the left, center, and right channels in the dash, and tweeters on both sides of each headrest.
    The previous owner replaced the head unit with an aftermarket Pioneer.
    My biggest problem is that the sound cuts out just as I start reaching an enjoyable volume.
    I think they’re running everything off the internal amp of the head unit and it’s clipping.

    Looks great. Are these compatible with Grand Cherokees with the stock audio system? (No pre installed sub woofer)

    So you also added external amplifier or just changing the sub will make sound better with factory system?

    So most likely there's something wrong with my setup if I had a sealed box with a 400 rms kicker 10 inch (supposedly shallow sub) sub in my sealed box.... with a 800 rms amp with 400 to the sub and 100 x 4 channel (5 channel amp)... idk 😬
