yeah, there was a car that came in the other day, getting new subs put in, and when we checked settings, everything, and I mean everything was maxed...
Thats not good for any speaker.

So I got a "proper" head unit in the car and it sounds even better. I am very happy with the P3 sub for what I need.
(by the way, the Factory radio ground wire in my car is not very well grounded and was causing some speaker whine with both the stock radio and the new one, not sure if this is a common issue in the cars, but I do know that the Pioneer systems have a low whine/hiss when the volume is low stock)

I was wondering what anyone would say about this. I have a audiobahn aw1005n 900 watt rms 1800 peak. I have a mtx ta81001rb 3000 watt max amp but I am only going to push 1000 watts to the sub max. Does any one know if it would be ok to have this set up and use the factory bbox for the sub?? any help would be great thx.

ya that wouldn't be a good idea. the sub wont fit in the stock box and even if it did 1000w is too much for that box to handle. your gonna want a nice ported box
also watch out with that sub/amp combo. even at 2 ohms 1000w that amp is still big for the sub. not saying it wont work because it will but at the same time be very careful. that amp is a true 1000w rms and the sub is overrated at 900w rms

Well the amp is only going to push 500 watt rms to the sub x 1 channel @ 4-ohm. the sub says 900 watts rms. you know i was just putting 2 and 2 together. not trying to be a smart elec. the speaker recommended ported box dimensions are .60 to 2.35 cubic feet. so i figured that the box would work. I also am prepared to build one I would much rather use the stock one though. thanks for the info.
Has anyone upgraded the tweeters on the doors close to the mirrors??? haven't looked in to that yet??

oh your going to run the amp at 4 ohms? sorry i was under the impression it would be at 2 ohms. that should be a better match up at 4 ohms
if you can build a ported box correctly i would do it if not a sealed box would work. a ported box is going to be much louder hence suggesting it
about the tweeter i did some crazy nonsense to get mine to work but here it is
if you have the pioneer system i would just recommend taking out the stock tweet and replacing it with whatever tweeter behind the "grill" like stock. The way i did mine works out pretty nice but it was alot of unnecessary work
