The thing about upgrading your car’s audio system is that sometimes you miss and sometimes you hit — and this is especially true when talking about the bass. You can spend a lot of money and have a weak system, and sometimes you get a discount audio system and it hits hard. Read this blog for four secrets for increasing your chances of getting an optimally loud, efficient, and reliably clean subwoofer system for your car! Here are some industry secrets used by the pros to make the loudest, most accurate car audio systems.
Looking for new audio components? Big Jeff Audio provides you everything you need to achieve the loud, accurate sound you’re looking for.
The subwoofers need to get the power they need. Some pros like to even overpower their subwoofers a bit, to help them reach their full potential. There is no such thing as peak power! While every amplifier is clean up to a certain limit, beyond that limit distortion can occur. As long as you are providing enough amplifier output, the subwoofer system can perform above and beyond what it normally would be able to.
The secret of larger amp has everything to do with box rise. An amp does have the same wattage as it does at 1 ohm up to the 2-3-4 ohm area. In other words, getting a bigger battery can help your system hold more voltage and double the sound. Sound unbelievable? It has worked for many people!
#2: Brand Selection
There are lots of different car stereo manufacturers out there. The secret to choosing a good investment opportunity is to shop reputable brands from authorized dealers. Don’t buy cheap chrome stuff advertised with half-naked women and that look eerily similar to the big name products. You’re likely paying for a flashy looking product with mediocre performance.
#3: Box Design
Enclosure efficiency is all about finding the best tuning frequency. You have to be able to plot your cabin gain. The best way to make your subwoofers happy is to make the enclosure bigger.
#4: Routine System Maintenance
When you get a pro car stereo system, be aware that it’s not going to last if you don’t treat it right. In cold weather, turn up the volume gradually over a few minutes — your system will thank you. Check your battery, and make sure it’s strong enough to power your system. Check connections to avoid amp failure or burnt fuse holders. Treat your system right.

Used this amp for the sub stage in my Can Am SXS, I needed the compact size to fit in a specific location and it works great and sounds great. I really like that an amp this small in size still comes with a bass knob and set screw style terminals.
Jacket is a little stiff on this wire, it’s not the softer silicone jacket like on a lot of car audio speaker wire. Nonetheless it’s a good quality wire and solders well
First off I want to say thank you to Big Jeff and his whole team. I love the podcasts every week. Anyways, these amps are fantastic. I have 2 of them and they are absolute beasts. I can run them for an hour straight on 2 sundown zv6 18s and they barely get warm to the touch. The sound quality is better than any amp I've owned. I'm not even getting their full power either because I am running headway lithium which doesn't hold 14.4v. They literally almost get as loud as my 2 Brazilian 8k amps. If you got the electrical to run these, you will love them. Hands down the best amps I've ever owned. And they came very well packaged as always from Big Jeff Audio. I ordered during a holiday season and my shipping time was still very fast here in Asheville Nc. Anyways, my point is, these amps are amazing and I think they are discontinued so get them while Big Jeff still has some left. Thanks Big Jeff and his Team. Very happy with all of my purchases from you guys.
