Today's music has created a different sound with its more pronounced thundering bass. To capture that tone correctly it must be amplified, controlled, and delivered. This is accomplished by using an amplifier, to power the subwoofer or subwoofers separately from the other audio components. Sound that comes from a speaker creates sound waves that travel through the air. Capturing the sound waves inside a speaker box or enclosure will compress the sound waves increasing the pressure and creating a much more controlled and enriched low frequency, while eliminating sound distortion.
To improve the factory sound quality of an '08 Toyota Tundra, we called on the team at Al & Ed's Auto Sound in Ontario, California. Josh Conn, Al & Ed's ace audio technician, installed a MTX 300W Thunder amplifier and two JL Audio 10-inch W1 Series 4-ohm SVC 300W speakers. Josh will show us how he constructed an enclosure for those 10-inch JL Subs.
