They're popping then, being pushed to their maximum and just move in and out making a loud obnoxious noise which is sudden once I pass a certain gain volume on the amp, my left speaker did this before until i switch up the terminal (which was already correct anyways). I already hear the signal interference, and thats not whats causing it because the interference does not get amplified.

That is exactly what I was thinking, getting a pair of 8" midbass drivers, I will wait until the install is complete, and keep you updated to see if my car still lacks. As for what exactly is punch..., I still can't describe it and was hoping someone could help me define it. All I can say is its that deference between the bass you hear in a 15" sub in comparison to a 10" or 12" sub. The reason why you think it is a difference in sound between your 15" and 10" or 12" is because of your settings more than likely, when your done installing get at us and we will be able to help you if you still need it. Good luck with install and dont forget to take pictures and post a build log for us. Pictures on SSA = Alright Well I've just Installed the new speakers and I properly set the filters on the subwoofer which I can say sounds a decent amount better now. However from installing the new speakers I have several new problems now... here goes: -Have some bad peaks and valleys -Lots of rattling now =S -Speakers clip when I set the gain past a certain level even with volume completely off, preventing me from properly setting the gain -Speakers are picking up a lot of outside noise whew so yea, it need some fixing. The speakers picking up outside noise is from using home audio wires... yea poor choice but it was what was readily available and I didn't think it make much of a difference... I was wrong lol. And of course my car needs to be sound dampened to cancel out the rattling. I think the speakers also need to break in first to help smooth out the peaks and valleys that I hear currently. As for the clipping I have no idea why its doing such, thats where I need some help on. The punch has gotten better, still slightly lacking for my tastes but I can definatly make due with it for now, but still am interested in buying mid-bass speakers later on. So that's the update.

Cars currently in pieces right now, with the receiver and paneling taken out so that I can run the new wires is all, plus to access my new amp i need the current subwoofer box taken out. I can hear the subs fine, its simply a different sound between a 15" and a 12" or 10", it has more punch, my guess would be those frequencies around 120hz maybe? I guess its somewhat hard to describe, and your right I need to first reconfigure my current settings before I can say anything else. Well yeah thats a little high for your subwoofer to be playing, I would lower it to about 100Hz for now and look at where you can install some components or midbass drivers to compensate for 100Hz on up. yea so i was thinkin of going with CVLW either the 10" or the 8" speakers, but I would like to know of any other brands that sell midbass speakers, where else I can look. Another possibility is the Dynaudio Esotec MW 172

Makes sense, unfortunately I wont be able to hear my subwoofer for another couple days because I'm in the middle of installing components and a amp. However how would I go about adding more punch if I wanted to?

33hz, and i set the subsonic to about 50hz and the LPF to about 250HZ, they're amateruish settings I just did what sounded right. Your subsonic should be set to around 30 hz or so, just a few hertz below the boxes tuning. Your LPF should be no higher then 80/100 hertz, depending on your preference. Thanks for that =) , actually was another question of mine that I've been wanting the answer to. Will this help create anymore punch jw?

Currently I have a 15" Fi SSD in a ported enclosure with almost 4 cu. ft. It is by far an amazing subwoofer hitting very low notes and hitting them hard. Recently however, I bought another 175 x 4 wrms amp and 6.5" component set that I am currently installing. That leaves another two channels that can be filled up with two more speakers, and I'd rather not use it on rear door speakers. My current subwoofer, does not give the desire punch that I want, and I was wondering if I should buy two woofers or mid-bass/mid-range drivers. Will these give me that punch fill that I want in my system, or should I instead go with two 8" subwoofers for punch. Another question is what creates punch in bass, is it certain frequencies that smaller subwoofers can produce better? I have 175x2wrms at my disposal to create punch and would appreciate opinions on what type of speaker I should go with. Here is my system btw: -Pioneer P5100 - 15" Fi ssd subwoofer -Sundown SAE 1000D amplifier - Cadence ZRS6K components -Cadence Xa175.4 amplifier (175x4wrms @ 2ohms & 110x4wrms @ 4 ohms) Car: 2004 Subaru Forester 2.5x

is a Cadence ZRS-6KS good for my style of music, because I think thats what I'm going with? I'm not to sure how they sound anyone know?

ya thats what I thought, its more a mater of the motor quality than size, i knew that guy was wrong... and he talked to me as if I were stupid for getting the 15's lol... anyways I plan to upgrade to 1/0 gauge in the future, but the 4 gauge is just for my 'short term' system.

alrite, I bought a 4 guage amp kit instead of revolving around the 2 ga wire that i got, so i can cross that off the list, went to knukoncepts for that =) nice and cheap for what im getting. next is the components

Ya ssd is awesome =). I just can't seem to find 2 gauge ring terms or inline fuses at all, so i think I'm gonna have to go with a whole new amp kit instead, 4 ga. should work. As for the components, your right I don't want anyone choosing it, but I would like some brands to look at because I dont know many for comps.

I'm decent, what do you need? and how is it audio related?

thanks man, i'll take a look after i get back from work
