yea actually if u play budget, stock speaker also ok.. but remember to do some setting wif ur amp, and cd player..

setting 1: if got LOW/MED/HIGH setting, then the LOW u set lower.. then the bass that come out from speaker will be less.. just vocal sound... that way u can turn on louder volume without having cracking sound frm speaker...
e/g: if ur LOW is 5, then u put volume 30 (or above) got cracking sound.. then turn ur LOW to 0, ur speaker might can support till volume 35? tongue.gif that's wat i've experienced.

setting 2: (wat amp u're using for ur woofer??) as u know, woofer is for bass beat only.. but however, will have some vocal sound c'ming out from it.. if ur amp able to adjust the vocal level c'ming out from woofer, best turn to minimum level thumbup.gif

hmm..if youre using your stock speakers then the sub will be overwhelming your sound sys wit a lot of low bass..either power your stock clarion speakers and get a pair of tweeters or get a good component set for your front..then you can enjoy a full spectrum of sound!! thumbup.gif welcome to ICE modding!! hehe after this sure you will be playing around with speakers ready..

sub is not always for booming. One can actually tuned it to soft bass and match up with the front for SQ.

Guys, on the topic of subwoofers.

I recently fixed a sub in my car.. i found out the sub no hole to 'let-the-air-out' so to speak.

I tought all woofers are suppose to have a hole?

Maybe thats y i noticed my woofer is producing lotsa "booms" and not so much details.

no, it depends how u wanna play it... some boom them without the hole, some wif the hole.. it will have different effects on different setups..

i notice my woofer got vocals in it....does this mean that the wire man pulled the wires wrongly? isn't it supposed to play only bass?

no... woofer got vocals is normal..
depends on ur amp's capability.. some can reduce the vocal to the least, or even can cancel them... notworthy.gif that's the best~

its called a ported enclosure bro,the one with a hole..ported encolsures produce better clarity over a narrow frequency and has better power handling but doesnt boom as much as a sealed enclosure (your current type)
Depending on your sub,some work better in ported some in sealed..depends on your sub spec..mines a sealed enclosure like yours..i like the setup tho

erm yes it is suposed to play only low frequencies..if your sub is producing vocals (mid freq) its gonna K.O very soon as subs are not designed to handle other ranges of frequencies well so it will try to reproduce sounds its not ment to and get destroyed.either use your amp to select your sub out to low freq or get a crossover..
