[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8409706, member: 660781"] Thanks. The results you're seeing are consistent with the power and box you have. I'm pretty sure it sounds good/clean, just doesn't have the output you want. As far as speakers go, where do you have your HPF set? I'm guessing you've set it on the amp - can you tell me what you've set it at for both sets of channels? Here're some suggestions as far as bass: 1. The box has to go. Well designed ported box can sound very good and be a lot louder. 2. You can get a new box custom built. Note: if you still don't think there's enough output, you will want to find a new woofer that fits the enclosure. 3. Get a new box and sub. Sub will need to be either DVC 4 ohm or DVC 1 ohm so that you can wire at 2 ohms and get that additional power from your amp. 4. Sell everything and put the money towards something in the 1200W range. A properly powered 12" sub in a good box on that power can do some damage. If you don't want to sell everything, I'd choose option 3. 600W, good sub around that power, and box will do wonders for you. [/QUOTE]
