My brother recently got a new system from the insurance company after his truck was stripped. They sent him two audiobahn 200 wattRMS 8 inch subwoofers and a dub4001 400 watt mono amplifier. I wired up the subs series/parallel because they are dual 4 ohm and the amp can only take min 4ohm.
The system is hooked up in a 1998 toyota camry, and it sounds good when I listen to it outside with the trunk open, but I really can't hear it when I am in the car. I guess I want to know what I can do to get the bass from the subs to be noticeable.
Do I need to get a different amp, subs, or can I just mess with the settings?

Have you tried turning the box around in the trunk? Make the subs face the opposite direction they are, it will either make it sound a lot better or a lot worse.

I would say check your connections. Make sure your not out of phase. That will do that sometimes. Also check your amp and see if it has a phase button. Check that fist then your speaker wires both inside the box and out side.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
