And I will guarontee you there will be no difference in SQ if he couldnt get his Ava to sound good.

It's kinda hard to get an Ava to NOT sound good.

I'm going to today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Gonna either put it in a smaller 1.8-2.0 cube box or add wood to the box to bring it down to that volume.

I have my two Avalanche 15s in right at 2 cu ft each sealed and they sound excellent. They are tight and detailed and the lows are killer.

From my experience, the Hifonics amps also have a real crappy dampening factor. Switching from a BX1000D to a PG Tantrum 1200.1, my bass became much tighter and more accurate.

If you switch both the box and the amp, I'm 100% sure you will love that Avalanche.

So I put it in a ~2.08 cu. ft. sealed box today and it sounds a little cleaner but still has a very undefined boomy sound at 50Hz and below.

The upper bass extension (60-80 Hz) is a little better but it still sounds really loose in the low end.

I know the Hifonics amps aren't the best but I had an IDMAX before hooked up to this same amp before and it sounded tight and clean.

Maybe you simply favor high Q alignments. The Avalanche is a low end monster and doesn't pretend to be anything else. If you are sure that what you are hearing is overhang and not simply a fat low end, then I really don't know what else to tell you other than something is not right.

60-80HZ is getting into midbass range...maybe its not the subwoofer...
