Yes it was my misunderstanding....I have a 510 DD series,its 300 RMS and 1200 Peak. I was just going by what the salesman had told me. He had also said that it would be able to handle a 2ohm load,but when i looked up the sub,i also found that it was only a 4 ohm sub,because it was not a Dual Voice Coil. Which was fine,just don't give me Bull ****. He did'nt say what the RMS was,just the peak, and i did'nt ask. The Bazooka amp that i have is model BA1500 500 Watt Mono Amp. At the time that i was buying the sub,there was another employee that was selling an amp that he had,i bought it for $50 working and everything,But i am assuming that the installer that i bought the amp from did'nt know that the amp was only 500 Watts.{ i had thought that he knew what he was talking about working in a place like that} He told me that it was an 800 watt amp RMS<and 1500 peak....I am also assuming that he thought that was the output because of the model number. When i bought the amp it did'nt have any stickers or specs on it,so i just looked it up the yesterday and found that it is only 500 watts. The sub fits inside the stock box just fine ,and it sounds really good. I only paid $140 for the sub,he told me that it was on sale,and that the regular price was $169.So i went back to see why the hell did they give me such wrong info,unless they were just trying to make a sale....The manger told me that he did'nt know what was going on,and of all times when i told him who they were,the salesman was off,and the installer that i bought the amp from had gotten fired for stealing from them the day before i went back. I was'nt able to give back the sub because there was nothing wrong with it,and the amp i purchased it from the installer personally,and not from the shop. I just take this as a lesson learned.So when i had asked if it were possible to do what i was trying to do for the money that i only wanted to spend,they told me that basically i was going to need more money....So unfortunatly not at this time........The info that i found out about the sub,came from a friend of mine that works in an audio shop,unfortunatley i did'nt go to his shop at the time....I will next time though....
lol Sorry i misunderstood you
Next time i'll be a little more specific....Trust me i feel like an ass...I'm not a bull *******,but i don't like to be bull shitted aswell....Is shitted even a word?? They gave me some info that was'nt even correct,and i just relayed it back,I'll do some research next time before i open my mouth.....
Thats exactly what I was talking about, you can have a box made to the proper specs that will fit in along the driver side wall if the trunk, extended up past the tire well, infact it would look cleaner than the stock box.
Yeah the 500 is what I think to, the only one that might fit but its a 300 watt sub and I wasn't sure where the thousand watt came from, at that range it would have to have been a 3500 or better and no way those are fitting in the stock box. The 500 makes more sense anyway, being SVC, but I was under the impression that the 500 was 4 ohm only, I don't know there were just alot of holes in the story if you know what i mean

Happens to the best of us, don't beat your self up about it.
If you like the way your system sounds then I guess thats all that counts but if you think it sounds good now with a proper tuned and ported box and a little better of an amp it would sould so much better
BTW all the DD subs are good, but the amp is 500@2ohms or 320 @4ohms, but thats being generous for those amps , go find that guy and beat his ass (lol) or sell it and become friendly with ebay
