Yes you can run a hi/low to a aftermarket amp. You just need to find your factory amp and connect the wires right. Also an additional power source for the aftermarket map. I ran the hi/low because my stock radio had wood trim. Gota keep the wood grain.

Got it. I'll eventually get around to it.

Correct. Cool and thanks. I need to get off my a$$ and get it done.

The signal will absolutely be strong enough through a LOC. Keep in mind this is after an amp, so it's going to have a step up in the voltage that most processors/drivers could only wish to have. If the rails in the amp are even decent, they're at 30+V, and that's plenty. It's also why a quality LOC must be used as opposed to the $10 special. Far too many threads here about cooking a cheapie. If you're going to do it, do it right.

sorry, saw dual 4th order and not dual 12's. So naturally I though dual reflex 4th order band pass:



as opposed to a dual woofer setup 4th order:




good luck with that that's a lot of air space you're gonna need; cant wait to see how its done.

find someone with Rockford Fosgate Term-Pro software. Its an awesome program to help you build band-pass,sealed,ported, etc boxes with the specs, correct port length and width, even the size of the boards to cut to make the box, tuned to the exact specs you tell it you want.

I honestly dont think you have room for 2 of those 12's bro. I mean you probably could if the box went all the way to the trunks end. If you look at the box of your link for the 2 tens; it barley fit in there. Gotta remember you have to take into account for the woofers volume as well as mounting mass. Thats whats cool about the DC audio's, not so bulky yet have similar specs.

How would a 12" sub with 300w RMS in a sealed box sound like? Good?
