Plan My System

Pick the right subs, speakers, and amps before you spend a dollar.

Subwoofer Selector

BeginnerMost Popular~2 min

Find the right sub for your goals, vehicle, and budget — no more guessing or buying the wrong size.

Subwoofer Amp Matching

Beginner~1 min

Get the exact power range your subs need. Prevents blown subs from overpowering or weak bass from underpowering.

Speaker & Amp Matching

Beginner~1 min

Match your mids, highs, or components to the right amp channels — so every speaker gets clean, full power.

2

Design My Install

Size your enclosure and make sure your electrical system won't let you down.

Subwoofer Box Calculator

IntermediateMost Popular~3 min

Get exact enclosure dimensions, port specs, and a cut list you can take straight to the shop. Wrong box = wrong sound.

Electrical Load Calculator

IntermediateNew~2 min

Find out if your alternator and battery can handle your amps before you blow a fuse or kill your battery.

Power Wire Calculator

Intermediate~1 min

Get the correct wire gauge for your amp's current draw and run length. Too-thin wire = heat, voltage drop, and fire risk.

3

Wire & Configure

Get your wiring right the first time — bad wiring is the #1 cause of blown gear.

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams

Beginner~1 min

See exactly how to wire your subs to hit the right impedance — with visual diagrams for every common config.

Impedance Calculator

Intermediate~1 min

Calculate your total load for series, parallel, or mixed wiring. Wrong impedance = clipping, overheating, or damaged gear.

Amp Gain Calculator

Intermediate~1 min

Set your gain by the numbers instead of by ear. Protects your subs from clipping and gets the cleanest output.

4

Estimate & Optimize

See what your system can do before you build it.

SPL Estimator

Advanced~2 min

See how loud your system could hit before you build it. Compare box types, sub counts, and vehicle sizes.
