After rise is was 1700 watts.
LOL. I doubt the meter is lying to you.
Don't think I'm doing anything wrong man. give some time to get pics up, I'm tearing my back door apart due to the window regulator breaking. First amp used was a CT2200.1, did a 145.6 before. Went with a Tline from stang, same amp on the Tline 8 box did 142.3 decided to do the 21 again and this time installed my stetsom 3K3. Best was a 142.0 on the meter. Just had a friend who runs those amp check it out, he did some adjusting on the amp and does sound little bit better. Rise was 1.5 on 45 hz tone. Which still makes me believe it's the meter. If something sounds wrong please chime in.
i'd still build the box first before anything. proper sized box should net you a pretty good hair trick on that sub tbh.
You're talking about the cone area of a pair of 15's on 3K amp. You should be more in the neighborhood of 148. 149 and high change if you tune high-ish, still around 147 if you tune low. Just going by what I've done and what others with that sort of cone area and power manage. We were doing 143 with a single 15 on a JL 500/1 in my friend's Volvo and that was like 42hz not some super high SPL tuning. That's simply a really bad number for that much power and cone area. I'd suggest that the box or position of the box/port is not functioning as it should, because it's not like that's a bad sub or either of the amps you listed can't make rated power.
When u gunna post pics of your setup so we can see your box
I could be totally wrong, I'm using a older meter. Term lab sensor should be here this week and im going to meter it again. That should tell me what's really going on. I was told that the port was a little to far from my hatch, so I'm going to move that closer also.
