subsonic at 30 lowpass 80

Gotcha. That seems okay. You can try turning off the subsonic filter. And maybe try turning the lowpass up a little. Like maybe to 90 or 100 or so.

Also, just another thought. Are you sure the speakers are wired correctly? I'm just trying to think of reasons why the subs aren't as loud as you say they should be.

Do you have them wired like this, or in some other configuration?

 

[vewbvye818 10+ year member]

yes, they are wired like that just one question how would you split the wire right here

what hu do u have?

and if you have a box lol.....u should have two terminal cups on it correct? if so just run posititve to positive and then negative to negative on the outside then just run a positive and negative to the amp. but make sure the subs are wired like they are suppose to be ....and on the inside of the box just run the positive to the positive and the same with the neg.

did you smell the voice coil smell, if ya did then theres a chance that sub was beggin for mercy lol if not give it more

 

[vewbvye818 10+ year member]

yea but i have to run a 2 pos and 2 neg one to each terminal, so do i run 2 speaker wires out of the amp or just one and the split it to two

 

[kross 10+ year member]

Two speaker wires out of the amp would be better, it will split the load between the two wires. If you were to run one wire to one terminal cup, and then just "jumper" over to the other one, then all the power would be going down the one wire from the amp.

 

[vewbvye818 10+ year member]

How about one wire coming out of the amp and then split it before it goes into a terminal?
