Hi guys, I need help am not getting the bass i want, even tho i have a decent amp and a sub

What kind of sub enclosure you using? Even with 500w this car should be falling apart.

I'm especially curious for photos myself, if not signal its loading or a phase issue probably. Something tells me there's either a bad enclosure involved or being wired at a new impedance that is producing less power or both.

you didn't answer the question, recheck sub levels please. Then supply a Photo of the overall sub setup please, with a second of the amp settings as they currently are set.

And list your gear, from signal to

I made the box my self on subbox site tuned to 35hz and 85liters and i have tested the box with my old sub and it was playing really good, everything is a bit messy now but planning on fixing it.

And I have connected the sub at 1ohm to the amp

Looking at the amp settings I can't see anything wrong unless the lp is at 30hz but I believe it's set correctly as you tried another sub and everything was fine.
What is the other sub exactly you were using before you changed subs?
I'd verify final impedance of the sub, disconnect the wires at the amp and see what they read.

Sounds to me like a signal problem. Try another source directly in the amp. Head unit doesn't look super reliable.

The enclosure looks a little shy on port area for the size of it imo as well.

Yes looks small for the size of that box.

I was using audio boss sub it was dual voice coil 2ohm, am gonna try to plug in straight from my phone to the amp and see if I get any results

Would I get better perfomence if I make the port bigger?

I just modeled up your sub, or what I think is your model... edge 122spl correct?

Yes thats correct

 

[shredder1 10+ year member]

Yes thats correct

Tbh it compares to a legitimate 1500w rms sub rather badly. Less capable than an Sa-12 classic imo. I'd give it an honest 750w rms rating but that said a 750w sub can get the job done in the right enclosure.

I just drew up a design that may solve your output issues. Message me and we can talk if you'd like
