Sub / Amplifier Questions

[third base]

I have installed a lot of stereo's (for friends). if you want pure sound quality I would go with one Boston Acoustics or Diamond Audio 12". These are the two cleanest sounding products on the market (in my, and all of my friends opinions). MTX are great too, but these are much better(I have two MTX 10's in a Bandbass box). Personally I am not into a lot of bass. Had a lot at one point but it soon became very annoying. As for which way to face your enclosure, you want to face it towards the rear of the car (sealed or ported). not only is it louder but it also gives the best sound quality. aiming it to the back of the seat muffles the sound. As for amplifiers, go with the MTX(cheap, good waranty, and pushes a lot of power). If money is no issue, go with Boston Acoustics amps, Zapco, or Alpine. in that order.



Now for a quick opinion, my hobby is car audio so please don't think I am sounding pushy. ditch the fosgate speakers and replace them with Boston Acoustics(sl, or nx series). you will be amazed with the sound they produce. I installed Fosgate speakers for friends and in the long run, all of them have had me replace the fosgates with Bostons. You may have to do a little searching for for these products. one sight you can get these products is woofersetc.com(beware though, not authorized dealer)

P.S. don't let anybody talk you into J.L audio, your only paying for the name. sound quality should raise the price, not the name.
