AQ substage not what i expected

[Harleyfx69 10+ year member]

2 aq 2200d daisy chained at 2 ohm load,

2 aq hdc3 dual 12 " dual 2 subwoofers,

full zero gauge install

box around 4.25-4.5 cube's tuned to 38hz

The system flexes the doors , the windows, and a slight movement to roof ..

But you can barely hear it outside,

and its still tolerable to listen to at full tilt on the inside ..

extended cab truck with rear seat replaced with this box ..

is this about what this should put out ?

or should it be putting out a lot more ?

Just because its not loud on the outside, doesn't mean its not loud...

you have both of them sitting in a 4 cu ft box?

That's why you mount your box on the roof of the car. Duh!

I'll bet its wired wrong. Are they Dual 2 ohm subs?

thats the way it should be.

unless the windows are down.

i always hate hearing rattling or loud music outside the car.

some sound good but most are just loud systems that sound like a$$

Do you have the electrical to back up that set-up?

I have noticed that if I stand right outside my vehicle it is not as loud as standing say...50ft from it. I cant give a real answer to why, but I think it has to do with waveform.

i knwo what ya mean on hearing it outside,

Just trying to give a description,

I also have the cummins diesel engine which is very loud and masks the outside noise ..

and the subs are set up in a TOTAL 4.5 cube box, its something like 6 not taking out port displacement and sub displacement,

the subs are dual 2 ohm although i dont have a DMM to confirm,

That is what i ordered, and the order confirms that,

and im uploading photos to photobucket now .. give me like 5 minutes for them to get on

sounds like something wired wrong maybe

or

the box needs to be replaced

yes i have the electrical to back it up,

dual heavy duty batts, and a 140-150 amp alternator ..

I never understood people wanting to hear it on the outside, all it does is piss people off unless you are rolling in the ghetto.

That being said that shit should POUND there has to be something else wrong.

Thats not really enough electrical to be honest. I would recommend at least 200 amps for the alt and three very good batteries or four cheaper batteries.

Edit: Im guessing both batts are under the hood? How many runs of 0 ga are you running?
