Few Questions about my new amp

ok i got an rockford punch 325.1 and a kicker L5 10 (comes in the kicker truck box), first question, is it better to put the box behind a seat facing foward, in the middle, or facing backwards (i got a single cab 2005 f150)


ok the amp does 386 @ 2 ohm, and 1100 max power (thats what it said on the paper)

ok i set the gains to 27.8 volts ac (according to the calculator), and now its fine on the 50hz bass tone...but i left it hooked up and lpayed a few songs (mainly bass) and it never goes pass 15 volts...and its kinda quiet, just wondering if its safe to turn the gain up a little bit more (i played about 30 diffrent sogns and only a few got up to the 20s for volts)


did i set the gain correctly?, also what is so evil about the bass boost *****


thanks for all the help

and just to make sure, to wire a 2 ohm sub to a 2 ohm amp, just put + to + and - to - on the same side of the amp, right?


also, it calls for 27.8 volts when setting gains...lets say on one or two songs it goes to 28 or 29 volts...will that hurt my amp?

I checked crutchfields site to see if the L5's had both single and dual voice coils but see they have only DVC. So I don't think the L5 comes in a svc model which would mean your wiring is wrong. I added some links for both svc and dvc wiring diagrams.
