bass shakers

[VehiGAZ]

Dynamat and good seals and attachments shoudl keep any rattling to a minimum. I would definitely consider lining the back of the spare tire compartment with Dynamat (expensive as it is) to keep the boominess down to a minimum. A little foam behind your license plate will keep that from buzzing as you roll down the road.

A JL 8W3 won't need 400 watts of amp. Not that it's a bad thing, but you can get plenty of sound from 150 watts (depending on how you wire them - those speakers have dual voice coils, which allows you to adjust the load on the amp - but never mind that - have your installer figure it out) Good luck!

Swordy... you like the bass shakers? As much as the sound from a sub?

VehiGAZ, the 400 watt amp is pushing the 12w3v2, soon to be 12w6 . the 8w3v2 is rated at 125 watts continous.and yes it has dual vc.in 2,4,or 6 ohm depening on what amp configuration you use.and as far as the rattle of the door with the 8 it was not an issue ,with a 12 maybe some dynamat or foam.with the 12w3 in a sealed enclosure behind the seat there are a few rattles. but not like 3 12w6 in the back of a ford escort.that thing would rattle.i will hopefully have the 12 in the door soon. shawn
