first of all sell the stupid 6x9s rectangle things
sound deaden the boot
invest in a better amp
invest in another amp and some components
and finally some decent wiring
whats the RMS of he sub and the amp??

RMS of each sub is 500w i think......not sure about the amp as i brought it 2nd hand but its a decent amp
Yeh as for them 6x9's wat a waste of £100 they dont sound no better then cheapy £30 imo
how do you sound deaden the boot?

sound deaded the boot is easy just take ot te boot carpet peel off the backing and work it inot the nooks and crannies
the amp isnt a decent one mate but will do the job for now i suppose, make sure its all set up right if its not sounding good, play with the settings on the headunit and amp, may just be down to the filter if its not sounding good

alpine and pioneer are good for the set up options etc
th i dont like them subs and boxes at all, all depends on how much money your wanting to spend

Surely all thats just weighing you down? Why buy a vtr if you gonna fill it full of sacks of potatoes so it performs like a 1.1?
I've just gone for headunit, door speakers, tweeters and 6x9s and it sounds great! Maybe get a sub and amp soon but nothing that will fill my whole boot like that 1.
Sorry mate I just don't understand it?
