[QUOTE="LordX, post: 6529677, member: 613621"] Hey all, I recently got my system completed with 2 Boston acoustics 12" GTR5 subs (with radiators) in a sealed enclosure. (powered by a rockford power 1000a2) I noticed that songs which used to have low deep rich bass no longer had the same impact. I was worried that there was something setup wrong, so I got an old Bass Mechanik CD and tested some bass sine waves to make sure the throughput was there. The subs hit all the sine waves amazingly. Rich, smooth, and most of all with a little volume too. So why are SONGS that I used to listen to lacking this punch? At first I thought the bass sine wave was recorded way louder... I have attached a sound forge photo showing the bass mechanic frequency, and a song. Both are NOT clipping, they are right at 0.0 db. So what the heck am I running into here? Should I boost the gains on the amp? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
