you probably underpowered it...

you should get at least 500 RMS on it....I have 460 RMS in my solobaric 12 w/ ported box...hits VERY hard....

Yeah get a 500/1 JL mono amp....that would do very nice

500/1....they are usually under rated. I've heard that the 500/1 actually puts out around 600 watts!

Hey babyloc, why are you posting the same thread in to different sections? Stop wasting A-CL's space, its bad enough with ramblings.

you can get a rockford fosgate power amp, the 501bd, which is the better series of rockford products for 265 at infinitecaraudio.com. it def puts out 500 watts because when i recieved mine, it came with a certificate that said it got tested at 532 watts. it is in your price range and is a great quality amp for the price.

you can compete with a integra because anything hits hard in the integra because it is a hatchback and the car itself acts like a big box
