I have one JL 10TW3 in a home made enclosure and it is great. It is painted black. The amp is an NVX MVPA1:

It fits under the dash. 300W. Works great.

Yesterday after reading all this stuff. I got off my butt and did what I have been wanting to do for sometime. The amp is a 2 channel and it was wired for each channel. So I bridge it last night and redid the settings. HOLY crap. It has a lot now. Well I guess 1800 watts will do that. I figure about 1800 the amp is 2500 but it is to much and the truck sounds like cans pass what I put it at. Love the way it sounds now. It hits so hard. With the seats down it helps with the sound.

bridging that amp made that much of a difference? hmmm.. guess I will have to try that. i have more subs than amp.. i have a 1200w amp and 1600w worth of subs. i have the same problem, i have a up-fire box and it sounds kind of muffled, i am thinking about raising the seat a little to give them some room to breathe.

is that where you mounted yours? how much of a headache was it? I have a console in the middle on the floor that I have everything stashed in right now, I had it under the driver and passenger seat, but with 3 kids, they were getting kicked around pretty good..

I have mine under the passenger rear seat, because my box only takes up 2/3 of the rear seat. A lot of guys have stashed their amps behind the rear seat, mounted to the wall. Take a look in the stereo section. There should be info in there on how to get the seat back off.

U will not believe how much it does. It did in my truck. Your amp will say what connecter to use. You can not just put all the wires in any port. It will say bridge. If not don't do it. It can blow ur amp. I think. lol.
