@@CarAudioFabrication question bro I will use 400w rms @2ohms using 2 channels. What sub will sound better a 12” 600w rms @2ohms or a 10” 500w rms @2ohms with only 400w rms. I don’t want to under power the sub either.

[@EdgarMendezz]

@@alexissalguero5751I am not Mark lol, but if your amp only powers 400 rms, then I don’t think you will get more spl from the 12 inch. You need power to make power. If you had a lot of wattage power then I do think the 12 inch because of the more cone area compared to the ten inch sub. Given you have the proper box for that sub as well.

[@Jake-kb2le]

Could you make a video about free air subwoofers? Some people have sedan cars and don't really want to waste space on subwoofer boxes. I appreciate your work, man.

[@pyroboy417]

Are you referring to infinite baffle? A sub has to have an enclosure of some sort in order to generate a desired frequency and load the desired space. Theres tons of different options if space is a concern. But just putting a free air sub in a trunk wont do much of anything if at all

[@Jake-kb2le]

​@@pyroboy417 Completely disagree. I personally have it and it makes a huge difference ! According to the guy from audio system germany it should play even better than tiny subwoofers in a box that you put under the seat (like jbl basspro nano). Nothing else is really a good solution in my sedan as trunk and passenger area is separated and I want my system to be completely non invasive. Anyway It's really good on its own I'm just guessing it could be done even better.

[@Drgluee]

@@Jake-kb2le I agree, I've done this as well, and I didn't even correctly seal off the back seat from the trunk. With just an 8" sub it had crazy range from 25hz to about 50hz. It struggled going higher than that, and didn't reproduce a rock bass drum hardly at all. The trick is finding a sub that is meant for IB otherwise it will sound bad.

[@frederickcrossley8303]

If you have a 500 watt rms sub it's good to get a 1000 watt amp because you will always be running clean power to it . If you get a 500 watt amp it might not be clean without clipping

[@DJDOUBLE077]

I always choose amps with more power than needed...at least 30%

[@stevej6824]

I tend to always do something similar. I’ll get an amp that puts out more power than needed or one that has the exact power but keep it at 4 ohms instead of 2 ohms for better dynamic headroom.

hi watched another video of yours, im now 54 and love car hifi just love the power of a system i guess,but i have to thankyou, always wondered how they get the contours so perfect in the boot of a car and thanks to you now i know, so so simple will be 3d printing them,my other problem i have i have a rockford fosgate prime 1200 great small amp but have got a new sub inphase x 10 2ohm dual voice coil says rms 350 - 400 peak 1200 should i run this at 2 ohm or 4 ohm? any advice would be appreciated

[@jasonhosein1880]

Great video mark i have been watching your videos for sometime now and i would say you have helped me make some great choices keep up the good work

[@johannjohann6523]

Agreed it's best to get an amp that has 50% - 100% more power so you don't need to run the amp at full power. Also, the best way to run the signal to an amplifier is with an LOC. Brands like Kicker, Recoil, Audiocontrol, and JL Audio not only boost the signal, but filter the signal so there is no distortion. Other brands can and do distort the signal. Not all LOC's are the same. By using a quality LOC your amp doesn't work so hard and runs cooler, plus you get better sound quality. Best money to spend on your system. The best amplifier is the 1 you can afford. As we all wish we had JL Audio in our cars. lol (Though CSS makes an impressive sub 4 the price. As does Savard. Gladen are very good too, just a bit pricey. Germans make good stuff).

[@V1N_574]

You amazing, I was looking for this yesterday night since it has been around 10+ years since the last system i installed and was looking for refresh and see of something has changed. I do have a question, I plan to get 3 10"s planning to get a mono block stable at 1ohm however since its 3 speakers probably at 4 ohms that will get me 1.33ohms, would that caused any noticeable problems? I'm aware that it will drop max power to somewhere between max power between 1ohm and 2ohm. Meaning if is rated 400w at 1ohm and 200w at 2ohm, I should be somewhere around 334w at 1.33ohms? Apparently I had 2 questions 😂

[@pauloparranao5534]

Hi. I see that you are working whith Gladen and Mosconi. All my sond system are of those brands. What's your opinion about them? What you have testest or heard?

[@robv.7324]

If you have Mosconi you are in the high end equipment.

[@BrianWaller-qe7gr]

My general rule is to pick a amp that does sub rms rating plus 25%. The 25% compensates for impedance rise. That’s minimum. Right now I’m running 6k rms each sub that’s rated at 4500.

[@KaidenOZ]

needed this like 3 weeks ago, was upgrading one of my cars audio, has a 8inch parcel shelf sub, had a spare 250w 2ohm mono amp, got what i thought was a good sub for it, turns it was a dual 250w 2 ohm which apparently needs a far more powerful amp and either a 1 or 4 ohm output...much confusion

[@KaidenOZ]

@@JasonWW2000 no? i just want to pair up an amp and sub combo that is stable together, reliable and doesn't sound like ass. under driving a sub can damage it just like overdriving can, and a mono 250w amp is underpowered for a DVC 250w sub. not sure if i didn't notice that it was DVC when i ordered it or if it wasn't advertised clearly...but finding a good 8inch free air sub to fit a install point isn't easy.

[@Redsoxnation]

Just an FYI, you amp tuning video you referenced doesn’t speak to subsonic tuning for a ported box.

[@nutrientek3243]
