    * Capacitors stabilize voltage
    * Top quality RCA's sound better
    * More expensive amplifers have higher sound quality
    * Square subwoofers are better
    * $1,000 headunits sound better than $250 units
    * Small air leaks in sealed sub boxes impact SPL or SQ
    * Rockford Fosgate amps run cool
    * Regulated amps are superior to unregulated designs

    O2 free expensive copper power wire will have less resistance compared to less expensive cable

    - $250 head unit sound the same as $1000 head units.
    - Cheap amps sound as good as expensive ones.
    Only if your in the audio sales!

    ...while I'm talking about the entire mating surface of the sub being unsealed.
    I have two questions for you:
    1. What the hell do you think a port is? It's a BIG air leak, but somehow, the sub still works. IT'S A MIRACLE!
    2. What kind of third-grade installer doesn't know how to screw a sub to a box?
    :notam:

    A port in an enclosure is not the same as the subwoofer leaking from behind it's mating surface. If you think it is, you need to do a little more research before you attempt any further installs.
    Wow..sorry about that. I guess I need to spell things out on a third-grade installer level:
    Q. Can leaking air affect the output of a sub because of sound cancellation?
    A. No. Since the soundwaves cannot escape small holes...only big ones like ports, there is no ill effect.
    Q. Can leaking air affect the output of a sub because the suspension is no longer supported by a sealed box?
    A. No. Most subs are designed for sealed or ported enclosures (a port is a big-ass air leak).
    Next week's lesson will be on how to use wire cutters instead of safety scissors.

    Bad grounds cause amps to run hot

    I do own a Shockwave and my name is not Bob.
    I thought you got rid of it... The boat not the name

    Amps get hot because of low voltage or a too small gauge power/ground wire.

    Or bad designs pushed by large brand names
