Girlfriend will get me subs for anniversary!

Well are the Ford/JBL highs and mids in the door crap cuz I think they sound pretty good. Maybe the mids they put in dont handle as much midbass freq because the stock sub took care of that instead....

is that right, you think its just the mids, not something hooked up wrong?
 






no, the subwoofer isnt meant to play midrange frequencies.

just out of curiosity, how do you have it hooked up? do you have the amp wired at 4 ohms mono (bridged front channel and bridged rear channel)?
 






It's been a while!! Well the sub is in the Explorer...been there for about 2-3 onths now and I love having that bass. The dvcs on the 1208x are actually 1 ohm, so we wired them in series for 2 ohms, the amp is giving a 4 ohm load. I'm only using one side of the amp so this summer I want to get another 1208x to match the ohms (as well as get more bass in there). It will be easier to work on the system in the summer when I'm back home (instead of away at college) and my dad can help me out. Maybe we'll look into an isoberic setup, he's been wanting to try that for a while...

Anyway my amp was overheating before and I was blowing fuses, we have the dvcs wired in parallel at 1/2ohm, with the amp at 8ohm. Not good. We just assumed the sub had 4 ohm voice coils but figured out they were dual 1ohm coils. So we wired it in series instead and the overheating and fuse blowing all the way. This isnt the best setup we can have, but it works until the summer..

Well thats whats new here, just thought I'd check in its been a while.

Oh and I love driving through the parking garage and hearing car alarms go off!! I dont bump much around campus though, so many cars get broken into or stolen...
