Hey guys. I have a Dodge Dart with Pioneer avh x390bt and four alpine type R 6x9, one in each door powered by jlaudio jx400/4 and I am decently happy in that department (need help with eq but that's a different thread). Then I have my subs which I am no longer satisfied with. They are two 12" infinity kappa 120.9's powered by jlaudio jx500/1d. I have tried both vented and sealed setups and I also have bought a much larger amp and I wasn't satisfied by any of these alternatives.
I simply want more punch and smaller footprint while staying under an ideal 800-1000watt amp output.
Would I feel an increase in punch if I keep everything the same and just swap the subs for a single 8" or single 10" Sundown Audio or similar? My amp is underrated 500 watts I read that it pushes closer to 600 watts @ 2 ohms. Otherwise I can upgrade the amp too.
Any other suggestions? Am I chasing a dream? Can I get more punch with the same amp and better, yet smaller speakers?
