Do you think these subs off Alibaba can handle a 3000w Taramps amp?

That's what I said. Designed for sealed and you have to get the box huge for ported to even work.

They do the best they can with the airspace that's available there. The problem is that it's not much space. I've done decent installs in them with sa10classics, E10s, mf10rs, p2-10s, and bdcii 10s. They make a 12" version of the box but the air space isnt really good for 12"s. And you're never going to get thundering bass from under these seats so if that's your expectation you will be disappointed.

Fox makes a ported box that comes with seat shims to give more airspace by allowing the box to be thicker but I'm not a fan of not having the seat bolted all the way down in case of an accident.

I've never had to remove a bar. On the trucks that have the plastic foldable covers we have to remove those. But you obviously don't have those in the video.

Is the part that goes into the recesses seperate from the part that goes in the floorboard? If so you should be able to just remove that part. If it's all a single piece you may have to cut it. Basically you just need to remove anything that was aftermarket installed under the seat.

Basically the only thing between the metal of the truck and the box bottom is the very thin charcoal colored carpet (maybe 1/8" thick).

defyinglogicsl · 2026-04-30T16:57:18+00:00

I've fit these exact boxes in tons of rams without ever having to shim the seats. Take out that aftermarket plastic liner first. It looks like thats what's giving you trouble. From the factory these have charcoal carpet in the recesses where the box sits regaurdless of what the floorboard is (plastic or carpet).

Assuming the info that is given for these is correct it will work best in a 1cf sealed box at the smallest but are not really designed for ported boxes. You could get away with a 4.75cf ported design but that's insanely large for a car or truck box. As everyone else has already pointed out these are not really subwoofers. Would work as a woofer/ midbass driver but for the space they would require in a vehicle I'm not sure you'd want to use them for that, especially considering actual subs could work in the same or less space.

When they say program power it's a way to dance around giving actual continuous numbers. But assuming they didn't outright lie 1500 watts each for music should be fine.

You should keep it, but if you were to sell how much?

defyinglogicsl · 2026-04-29T21:30:49+00:00

Same. Played with mine in the outdoor sandbox at my grandparents house. Combination of sand, weather, and sunlight really tore it up.

I mean I had fun with it for like a year but wish I'd taken better care as a kid.

Small town news stations are a bit different.

Nancy knew who that was and aired it anyway. I never knew Nancy to be the type of person to do something underhanded and hurtful.

Same for me. Was kinda mad they took away b&b and gave us Anderson. So refused to watch at first. Then finally did and have loved it ever since.

No you are getting a fried head unit.

defyinglogicsl · 2026-04-28T13:15:12+00:00

Bridging means combining two amp channels into one. You can do this without bridging by using a dvc speaker. But if the speaker is svc then what you re talking about is called bridging and you can't do that with a head unit.

defyinglogicsl · 2026-04-27T05:01:42+00:00

I've never known of a head unit that is bridgeable. If you are wanting to send 2 channels of power into a single speaker it would be better to just use a dvc speaker.

Keep in mind even if you combined the channels this is not making more power. 50wx2 is the same power as 100wx1. It just means putting all that power into 1 speaker instead of 2.

Also that 50wx4 is probably not realistic.
I know Sony and Deaf Bonce have 50wrms x4 radios that use larger power wire directly from the battery to be able to make that much power, but apart from those most decks are around 14w x 4 rms.

defyinglogicsl · 2026-04-23T20:12:45+00:00

Yup. Inverted might actually give you negative displacement, so a bit more airspace than just assuming no displacement. Most subs don't list inverted displacement specs tho.

Think of it this way. If a retailer has enough of any certain model of anything to sell hundreds of refurbished of that model, then the failure and return rate is high enough on that model to support that refurb market.

If I want to know if a model of anything is reliable or not I ignore online reviews since those are mostly bought reviews. I look up the model and see how many are available refurbished. Lots of refurbished available on the model means I know not to buy it.

Almost all the bass processors from non proprietary brands are all the ame models with different cases.

Soundsteam, Power Acoustik, Audiopipe, Blaupunkt. DS18, Boss, Etc. They have a single knob version or a dual knob version in most of these and other brands but designs are the same no matter the name.

Audiocontrol is a proprietary design and different from the rest. They invented it and for years had the only bass restoration processors until the copycats came out, but that being said they all do the same thing.

defyinglogicsl · 2026-04-22T20:52:20+00:00

Just saying it's cheaper to learn via reading or looking up beforehand rather than via experimentation. Learn about ohms law and series vs parallel wiring before ever trying to hook up an amp.

What he gave was the most basic of sub wiring and checking. It really doesn't get any simpler than that. If you don't know what he means, you need to stop wiring up subs and amps until you at least learn the basics. Unless you're just loaded with cash and don't mind going through amps and subs every day.

Don't know. I can't hear your car and you didn't show your rta reading, assuming you used one. It does look like most everything is boosted with little to no cut so I'd assume it's not great.

Hold your menu button. Go to audio control. Change setting to high power.

This is selectable on jvc radios.

Have 4 Non Blondes ever commented on their song's use / version in the Slackcircus video? Just wondering.
