[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 2369109, member: 560148"] Your are being let down becuase your a total basshead. Your first setup took 2 low end subs and maxed the gain out on an amp. You were pushing quite a bit more power out of that older amp than you think you were. RMS only refers to a NONCLIPPED signal, you were probably putting out 1.5x that, while pushing those subs to their limits. Sure it sounded like crap, but I'd bet it did get quite loud for what it was, even if 20% of it was distortion, which also adds volume! Try tuning your box higher, if you don't care about musicality it will at least be louder. [/QUOTE]
