what are you currently running for amp/sub/box?

 

current sub is a 10" Rockford Fosgate P2 Punch and an ABS enclosure, very similar to foxbox, but it doesnt say foxbox on it, so im not sure who made it. Amp is an Infinity Reference 5760a (6 channel)

 

i have one of these and it is a piece of SH*T!!

 

whats bad about it?


about your sig... its not money thats the root of all evil. Its the LOVE of money. When you make money your number 1 priority. Just thought i'd share

 

AF, you will want to power those bostons off of that 4 channel rockford amp as well, otherwise they will distort at a very low level throwing the quality of your music away at a very early stage, most speakers are not actually meant to be ran off the 19 watts rms that a deck makes, they like at least about 35 minimum per speaker... and thats going very low, and those bostons are no exception, actually quite the opposite, the bostons like a perfect range, outside that range the quality that they are built with becomes useless. And another thing you will find, is that your back speakers will sound almost as good as your front speakers because boston builds a higher quality product... even though it isnt component...

You have to remember that any distortion of sound inside the cab can throw the whole entire system off, your ears will pick up on that distortion very easily, so you want to avoid that...

 

Got a pic of the box?

 

I plan on biamping the components so all 4 channels will be used by the components. Ill use the passive crossovers that come with them. The Boston's have a Max of 35rms which is significantly less than the amp puts out per channel. Is it possible to bridge the headunit outputs to squeeze more juice? Obviously I'm an audio noob. As far as rattle and distortion ill be sound deadening the whole truck

 

AF,
Typically no you can't bridge HU outputs, there may be some exceptions, but I don't know of any that you can bridge. By bridging the channels you will invert one of the signals, which most amps can handle, but not HU's.

Yeah, I had a buddy try to do that because he only had 2 speakers in his car, it was a crx, and he fried his HU. Just buy another 2 channel amp thats like 200 watts or something to power the bostons. You should find one reasonably priced.

 

They make what I believe is called like a powerpack or something along those lines, it's basically a tiny *** amp that you can wire up right off the back of your headunit and it will up the wattage. It doesn't increase it by like 300w or anything but it definitely gets more power to those speakers.
