Thank you to Luke and others that recommend I do this. My new pioneer deck w/ HD radio and 6 4v preouts sounds amazing. Followed your amp tuning guide and sound is clean and powerful (minus some alt whine which I will troubleshoot) the OG Kenwood amp has crystal clear separation and you can feel the snare drums hit. I just realized that I've never had an amp to the main speakers in any car ever. How dumb. I do have a few questions, I noticed a good amount of air movement through the various holes at the front kick sheet metal with the sound turned up. Should I try to seal up the kick as much as possible so that it acts like a speaker enclosure? Also, I kinda want to pull the foam of the kick panels. Bad idea or just personal preference?

You say "Where are your other two cylinders?"
I say "Where's your other camshaft?"

If you used mix and match RCAs, that may be a source of noise.
Glad to hear the sound is improved. Is not the amount of watts, it's the current behind the wattage that does it.
As far as sealing the cavities, give it a shot, you can always take it out, right?

Well, my beloved punchy Alpine died. It made a popping noise and quit altogether. I tryied to replace the caps, resistors and such but still no sucess. Soooo, im selling my Phoenix Gold zx350 on ebay to fund a low cost 4 channel and a mono for the sub. I'm preparing to be disappointed but my car is loud and at 46 my hearing is not-so-much anymore. I might just go for an Alpine class D (it even hurts to say it) digital (ouch) amp for $140 on amazon. I'm open to suggestions. I hate having such a low budget.You say "Where are your other two cylinders?"

What about the jbl gto5ez? Its on sonic electronix now. I own it and am hooking it up this weekend. Heres what made me buy it: class AB for the full range and class D for the sub only. Save power where the distortion doesnt matter!Comment
