Answer 1

I will go ahead and assume you mean you want louder bass. If so  then if you already haven't done this, go to your amps and turn the gain k**b up some more, and that will send more wattage to your subs. For louder all around sound, go with some aftermarket speakers in the back that are easy to install, and make the system louder with better bass. Also, if you know what you are doing, then try to switch the amps and subwoofers, because the sony's will need more than 350w and I doubt the 10" will need more than 400w unless it is high quality with true wattage ratings. Keep the subwoofers and the amps, because those are where the money is, but just get speakers and hook them up to your head unit, if you have an aftermarket one already.

Two key things are: Possibly get a PORTED enclosure (I recommend a Bass Slammer dual ported enclosure, $100 est.) Ported enclosures give more bass outputs than sealed, because the air has somewhere to go, as when you put your hand in the middle and the bass hits you can greatly feel air being pushed.

Secondly get speakers and a head unit to power everything so it not only is louder, but sounds a lot better.

AHEM..... I have 2 12" MTX 7500's in a ported bass slammers box strapped by a Kenwood 1800w mono amp that powers them at 450w true RMS each. 2.0 FARAD power capacitor with a great powering kenwood head unit. For the finally I have two 6X9 and 4" polk audio surround sound 2-way speakers. All together $1500 so I would love to challenge you to an SPL competition! Good fun have a great day.

Answer 2

The gain has nothing to do with wattage.The gain controls the input voltage from the out put voltage of the radio.Always leave it at 3/4 of the way.Next time when you buy car woofers look for higher decibel ratings of the woofers.Example A woofer with a 92 decibel rating @ 500 watts rms Will hit harder and be louder then a woofer with a decibel rating of 87 decibels @ 1000 watts rms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 3

make a custom box and put all on one so to speak. and turn db gain up and hrz down a bit
