Don't enough quality low end...m312dvc

[dispair 10+ year member]

well here is the deal. After a list of issues with my system install(I broke down and had a shop do it, as they had access to the tools to build a proper box for me) I still lack what seems to be quality bass. I'm not looking to win any comps, but I want a clear deep sound. I have the m312dvs from MCA in a bandpass enclosure vented into my cab and it seems to chirp at higher volumes. Not to mention the fact that bass sounds like shit(I think this could be the fault of the box more than the sub....the bass is really nasty at anything over 50hz). I'm looking to almost start again and have my cousin build my box(used to do it, has a wood shop in his garage). So the question lies, do I get a new sub or keep the M3? if so, I'm not looking to break the bank on a new sub, just want something that sounds good. i've seen the AA arsenal/assassin's recommended. the amp I would be using is the MCA500d, so if I go this route, would it be better to go SVC or DVC? I'm sure this is subwoofer dependent as well. I just plan on having a single 12, unless it is truly worth it to have two 12's being run by this one amp. thanx for your help.

Just ditch the bandbass box, and get a ported box tuned around 30 - 34 hz

How do you properly tune a ported box?

"Dispair"?

"Don't enough quality low end?"

"ditch the badnbass box, and get a proted box"?

hey chaarlieee thanx for the help in clearing up my title. also thank you for the help with my question....o wait, u didn't help with that, u just *****ed about the spelling errors. either way. thank you guys for your opinions thus far. so stick with the m312 and just make a ported box? also, concerning tuning, if the sub doesn't have a frequency response that low, why tune it that low? I think it does have it, but not sure. It is a DVC sub, should I keep it hooked up in parallel? or should I just hook up on input? opinions/advice/reasoning is always welcome. thank you again.

* You had a shop build you a bandpass box? Return it to them, tell them it sounds like ***, and give them one of Moe's plans. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hey chaarlieee. since you feel the need to try and bash the spelling of dispair, I will give you the reasoning behind it, rather than insult your intelligence(as you tried to). I played EQ for a while under the tag aphi. I named a character badasbich. well a gm apparently didn't like that name after my 50 lvl's of playing, and decided I should have it changed. When she did it, I asked if I could change my characters name as well. I chose Despair but was told that I could not use it as it was the name of an item, so instead, I picked Dispair. When I started playing WoW, CS, BF2 it just stuck with me, and I use it as a tag for most things. So yes, I chose to spell it that way, I'm not some idiot who thought despair was spelled dispair. Thank you though for noticing.
