Y would you want speakers louder than a jackhammer in a confined space in a daily driver unless your competing?
Point intended im happy with what i have, i could possibly go more compact and powerful sure but im not gonna spend more money when im ok with what i have.

theres just no way that amp is pushing its rated wattage on that setup.
Your probably closer to 12v than you are 14.4v Have a clamp put on your system it will tell you.
Honestly like everyone else said your way underpowering those subs.
Ditch that amp use it for a pair of door components or something

Thanks
Lol, well that last part was contradictory, so does anyone have an example of how/why they would go if they are underpowered?

maybe at 2000 rpms in nuetral. I dont see too many vehicles holding at 14.4v daily. Especially with the heater or ac or lights or wipers etc going. All of that will drag it down.
typical is 12.4 or so from what ive seen. The battery helps though the caps have been proven not to do a whole lot.

partially right
wrong and right
cobalts hold around 14.4 - 14.5v for the first like 10 seconds after starting, then it drops to like 13.8v...and even with the AC on full blast, wipers on, cruise control, blah blah blah it still wont dip below like 13.7 MAYBE 13.6

remember the alternator on these cars isnt that big and many items pull a pretty decent current. But even at that the amp is rated at 14.4 volts but not getting it. Which means the amp is not putting out the watts its rated at. Also do remember its a 12 volt charging system.
Which means its nominal output is 12 volts. It might get a bit above that but not that much.

as i have a PSU on my computer which monitors not only battery voltage but remote line voltage as well....i can give ya a good idea.
on car start, the power supply registers over 14.4v DIRECTLY from the battery. the remote line usually operates within half a volt of that + or -.
from there, the voltages drop consistently over time. lowest i've seen is the 12.9v that i was honestly expecting to see anyways. took my car a bit of running(10-15 minutes?) before it creeped that low. even then you'll see jumps in the voltage for small periods of time.
I love my stereo for the first 5 minutes or so. LOL 14.4v or a lil more at times to the amp baby! lets get closer to those lab non standard certified 14.4v stats lol
haha
