That HX2 should be doing the job! That sub is a beast. What size is the enclosure your using? Your amplifier is a mono. It's 700 watts @ 2 ohms. Is that how you've got the HX2 wired? Even at 700 watts that Rockford needs more power than that. And if you got it wired to 4 ohms then you're probably hardly moving it. That would only be about 350 watts or so (I think).

Might be your box..also where is your port/sub facing
Box should be placed with woofer pointing towards the taillights or latch or whatever right? I've only heard a few people say they like it the other way.

man u guys are smart ok
so 1. how is it mono if i have 2 positive and negative channels on the amp and NO POSSIBLE WAY TO BRIDGE IT im losin my mind bro and on the sub i have a wire going from positive to positive - negative to negative then a wire going from my pos post to the pos on the amp and neg post to neg on the amp is that 2 ohms??????

YOU'RE A HOOKER!
trunk boxes are one of the hardest to get loud... how much airspace does you box have, and what is it tuned to?
only real options to make it louder, are to either face the subs foward, and seal off from the trunk, or to build a blow through style and port it through the rear deck.

from your explination, you are running it @ 2ohms...
i highly doubt it's your amp that is causing you to be dissapointed... your enclosure is one of the most important parts of an install, and really can make or break an install... what size is your enclosure and what is it tuned to?

Build a proper enclosure & a 12 can be much louder than a 15. All dependent on the enclosure. Then again, you could just put the 15 in a proper box and it'll get down too, given you've got the proper air space. As said before though, trunks aren't easy to get loud on the meter. Loud to the ear, yes. The meter will always kill your confidence in a trunk though.

since you have the sub facing the rear i'm surprised it is not very loud the box is probably tuned wrong and too small. How many cubic feet is it?

Well one problem solved there unless it's sealed which it isn't loosing some output doing that. Also upload some pictures of the box for us so we can guess on size ourselves.
