Message	I know a bunch of you guys know your shit about car audio, so I was wondering if yall could check out my sound setup via this handy dandy diagram I drew up... I hooked the system up this way per the wiring diagram that came with my subwoofer. Only thing is that it doesnt hit for crap even when I blast it. I mean... it hits, but nowhere NEAR as hard as my old sony xplods. From what I've read, the type R sub should be pumping out more sound than it is, and so I turn to you guys for help. Any thoughts on my setup? How should the dual voice coils be wired? Is it setup wrong right now? Thanks in advance for any advice! -Andrew '90 Aztec Red NA > TT

His setup has a 4ohm - just4kinks 15:32:33 07/08/06 dunno, but ni[X]it's shoe makes for a great wheel chock - Guapo 14:49:31 07/08/06 fer shizzle (n/m) - mousersix (San Antonio) 14:54:45 07/08/06 I used to have 2 10" Alpine Type R's - TTFairladyZ 15:01:25 07/08/06 2nd, I was amazed at how well they sound - drmx 15:38:49 07/08/06 You left out the most important detail.
