Car Stereos: car amp, mtx subwoofer, car amp

Question
Hello, i used to live in PR and had an Acura integra which i went and got hooked up with a professionaly installed amp. The sound was great. Amp was an Audiofonics 1100w 4 channel and it only had one MTX subwoofer vented. Just this sounded better than 3 subwoofers a friend had. Now i live Mi and tried buying an amp for my new car and install it myself but it just doesn't sound right. Now i have a Pyramid Royal amp 1600w and a subwoofer Pyle 1200w vented dual coil. I tried to bridge it but still it doesn't sound as loud as the old one. Why? Isn't a 1600w suppose to be better than a 1100w? Is there a way to make it sound louder and more clear? I'm no expert so please help me out

Answer
Hi Feliberto.

Yeah there is a way but implies $$$$.
first of all that amp DOES NOT do 1600 watts id be surprised if it does 200 watts those unexpensive amps and subs are highly overrated why do u think those amps will cost you anywhere between 50-100 bucks when a 1600watts MTX amp will cost around $1200, try getting a better amp and good enclosure, actually for me almost any subwoofer will sound kick ass on a good box thats why your 1 MTX sounded better then 3 subs every sub takes different boxes size and port wise so you gotta match all that in order to get a good sound its not matter of just stick one sub into any box.

Try and get a professional build you a box for your sub custom made for its specs and you will see the difference

Hope this helps.
