Thanks! Too bad I know NOTHING about car audio lol. I might have my friend to set it up. Should I get a ported or sealed box?

There are places that will make a custom box for your car so the subwoofer will sound better...

Painted rear lip w unpainted skirts will look terrible.

Wipers look much better.

KenHOOD speakers are awful. Sealed box is best, built to the dimensions of the car with the wattage of the amp. Components are key, most importantly a good deck.

Besides being a suspension snob, I'm an audio one too. To idiots I'm just a snob. :D

Are you saying the box size has anything to do with the wattage given by the amp? And kenwood speakers are entry level components so theyre not bad... just not great.

First u need to find out witch model those kenwood speakers are. Then do a quick search of them online and figure out the recommended volume of the box. Once u get that u can design a box for that volume and I can help u if u need any help. but I would recommend a different amp. That is very low output (75W X2 @ 2Ohms)

No.
Until you've truly heard quality and clarity you won't understand. I'm not being a d**k, but it's true. With any vehicle I own, audio will be high on the list. Not just for bumps in my trunk, but more for clarity. If I ever get my SUV it won't have bumps; just clarity.

Clarity starts with your head unit. Seal the deal w/ quality components and an amp.

The model is a KFC-W3000, it's an older series so I cannot find ANY info on them. I think someone said a box with at least .75- 1.75 cubic feet. What happens if I plug into my rockford fosgate? Will i be able to still listen to it?

You've got some d-bags that roll through your neighborhood then. Any time I enter a residential area I turn my stereo down, and ESP at night.

Ok thats what i thought u said and I know what u mean about clear sound and i agree with u but to put of some decent bass the kenwoods should be good

Yes u can still listen to it but its going to be under powered. It really will not sound good but it will work until u can get a better amp.
