I don't know anything about car audio, just thought I'd post and say that on my laptop with tinny speakers right now, that youtube video sounds like a really wet fart. I wanted to get a nice sub just to have a more immersive car music experience, but I did some research a few years back and got scared at all the wiring.
I'm not into car audio, but I am into pro audio, as in large PA systems that a band would use. OP, please do your music a favor and install some better smaller speakers, as there's a lot more to music than the frequencies 18" subs carry. Installing a few 8" units (or 10" speakers in addition to tweeters if you have the money) will make your system sound expotentially better than nearly all car audio systems that I hear.
I don't have anything too impressive just two Sony Xplod '12s @ 1200 watts with a Sony Xplod 1200 watt amp in my 1982 Cutlass on '20s.
i am not much into car audio either but the other day i was reading about the bugatti veyron 16.4 grand sports (the fastest and most expensive car on the road) and i got to know that the car is fitted with a Burmester audio system....i got a bit more curious and hit upon the burmester site....the peripherals are simply awesome and i can well imagine what the sound would be like...in my car, i have installed a new zealand make fusion bass tube along with four blaupunkt speakers....the sound is not great but for the time being, i seem to be satisfied
You went a bit over kill on bass. How can you enjoy your music without hearing the vocals? Car audio is so sweet because you can have the audio quality of a 12,000 watt IMAX theater with under a 1,000 watts. Quit bringing out the "bass hunter" stereotype and get your self a 4 channel amp, some decent speakers to go around and tweeters never hurt. Yea two 18's sounds cool when you type it out. But component speakers all the way around with a 12 inch decent brand sub like kicker will blow you fucking mind in audio quality.
I can still hear the vocals when i play music? The only reason why you can't hear the vocals in the videos is because the cameras mic sucks. I didn't go over kill i used to have a "Sound quality" system in my old truck with 1 sound quality based woofer and a 1000 watt amp but i wanted more.
