    Well after 15+ years i find myself back into car audio and currently live in Jakarta Indonesia. When I was into it before Rockford was the only way to go to get pounding bass.....Power 1000 was the way to go.
    I was out in the local aduio market the other day and saw Rockfords T10001bd and just had to have it along with 2 Rockfords P3D412's. Trying to get back into the swing of things..... After the install...2 sealed boxes, 1.0 cf each... i was dissapointed by the sound.Alot of speaker noise.at higher volumes. When i was in before....i think the woofers were better. Sound Srteam is available here. So i was thinking of getting those for sub's.The car is a Volvo 940.
    I welcome any and all comments....:)
    Thanks

    Well, RF has gone down hill and the P series are pretty bad. Soundstream is ok, but a rebadged Power Acoustik. What kind of budget do you have for subs? Your amp is ok.

    shopping online and having things shipped here is a bad idea. 35% import tax and then there is the shipping cost. I guess i will try a different sealed box and go from there...
