Message	and run at least 8 gauge wire. thats just been my experience because I've had shitty sealed boxes that I made that sucked and then I sealed them properly and they sounded ALOT better. I also upgraded the power and ground wires and notice a big difference as well. Also take note to how you are wiring the subs to the amp as everyone else is suggesting. I have never heard a 8" sub before, but I imagine other than a jl w7 or equivalent, it definately should not hit as hard as your set up when yours is good and ready good luck "Old technology is OK as long as it works, right? All the "ox cart" comparisons don't hold water as far as I'm concerned. We've been using wheels, for example, for thousands of years and I have 4 of them on my Z. Why? Because they're simple and they do the job well."--John P./ August 03, 2004 at 3:44 PM
