ok so its not the wiring, what could it be

Speakers both push and pull regardless of wiring.

Is the box right for the subs? Is your crossover set correctly? Gains?

i know subs are going to push and pull. but my subs are always pulling and not pushing unless its an extended low note in which it does both. the box is right 4.2^3@32hz. and the gains are fine. i hooked up a type s i had laying around, it worked fine.

check your rca's on the hu and amp.

If they are always pulling it is either an optical illusion or one half of the amp drive stage is bad. Are you running a mono amp or a bridged 2 channel? If it is the latter you may have it configured wrong.

bridging would explain a lot, actually

depending on the amp, some amps need to be wires funky for bridging channels......

my roomate had an old kenwood, and it was really weird, i think when it was setup to bridge, you had to use both positive outs or something weird like that

do you have your subsonic filter set real high? do you have your low pass crossover set real low? you say it pushes AND pulls at lower freqs but it only pulls at higher freqs? sounds like you might have your LPF too low or your SSF too high?

sounds like one of your subs is closer to the port than the other...

its a mono amp so the bridging problem isnt it.

ill go check that right now. what should they be at. i know it wont be exact numbers but just give me a ball park figure

isnt that the case in many boxes though?

 

[munchies 10+ year member]

well its not the box. i but them in a sealed box today and nothing happend

If you change the wires on the amp to + to - and - to + you should be able to notice a difference.

I swicthed the phase on mine and the subs sound way louder
