disappointed in CDT

[destruction 10+ year member]

I installed my cdt cl-62 components several months ago and it took and entire weekend because i wanted to make sure it was done perfect. i trimmed the 5x7 opening to accomodate the 6.5 and then dynamtated the entire door. I got the xover mounted perfectly and then got the speakers snugged in there. I put an eql and xenon 100.2 on them and i thought i was done. They sounded great and got loud enuff to balance with the subs i had. I recently switched over to 2 10" rli's sealed and now they can't keep up. They still sound great for movies but when i want to pound the subs, i can't because the compnents just can't keep up. I don't want to pull the components cuz the install is permanent due to the fact that i flushed the tweeters in the door.

the mids seem to do ok but the TICK just isn't there.

is there ANYTHING i can do?

my setup is a 7" indash panasonic, goes to an eql and then to the pg xenon 100.2(100rmsx2@4) they are crossed over at about 100-125hz. pg just has the knob with 40-400. i just adjusted them till i lost most of the bass but still got tight response and strong vocals. rms is 150 and i have 100 on them.

subs are 2 rli 10's with a pg600.2 ti and a memphis 16x03

they get pretty freakin low for being 6.5's. i can drop the xover really low, turn off the subs, and still get great sound. its just not as loud as i think it should be

to put it in perspective, my old alpine type r's were louder. not quite as musical, but they could keep up with no probs.

my space is limited and the xenon 100.2 fits perfectly. i was hoping it would get the job done. I gain was a lil under 3/4 and i turned it **** near all the way and NOW they are where i want them to be. I'm not a big fan of having my gains at basically max though. should i find another amp? i like pg but i think the 200.2 is much bigger.
