Im only hitting the sub with 200 watts.
And why would I need the boot for anything?
Haha my friend has two MTX 12''s sealed, and I raped him with this single Alpine E 12''. Haha you couldnt even hear his sub next to mine, and they were both full power. He had his bottoming out. Mine still sounded great
Ive already shook out a screw on the trunk latch, and the rattle is unbearable so im going to put the sub in my back seat and turn it down a little.
