could be wired wrong, cross overs/ settings on amp/head unit, or just bad box.

tune your amp properly and try different enclosures.

And no.. this is not a wire problem.

Funky is right, if it were a wire issue, you would not get ANY bass. This could be one of many things as cshaw said above. If you post up some specs or pics of your setup, we could help you more.

Possibly LPF set too low? Could be the enclosure or you are expecting too much out of it. And when you say higher frequencies, what frequencies are we speaking of? I hope you are reffering to somewhere around the 60 - 80 Hz range. Maybe you're lacking midbass and not subbass?
