Help my sub won't hit high notes

Alright thanks I always want to say its four since its running at four ohms will it still sond as good quality wise I've always heard the ported don't sound as clean as enclosed

Dumb question but if I got a I ohm 100watt resistor and parallel wired my sub would it run at 2ohms

A sub woofers enclosure made to specs will make any sub perform at its best,even at min. Ported sounds fantastic for Kickers,as they can sound kind of muddy in a sealed enclosure,but you will acheive better performance from a ported enclosure for that kicker

So I'll take it that that's a very bad idea

i wouldnt consider it..best to get a 1ohm stable amp in order to adjust your frequencies/xover points to have/allow for proper operating

or better yet,get yourself a dvc2ohm sub,and get the most out of your amp and sub,

Or better yet, get something better than a CVR.

Dude (OP), if you want to email me or something, I can help you out man.

Go ported though..For that sub..I think you will be pleased with the performance much more than the smaller sealed enclosure you have in there.I would go a min of 1.4 cu ft for that ten

Id run what you have for now,and save some funds ,and get better made subs for your money..Kickers arent bad subs, but not the best either.They are fair,but for your money, you can get better subs that will perform much better.Im running one do to not costing me any $,and have it,and its a work vehicle,and does just fine for my needs.Later on you can get yourself a great made sub, like SSA,Skar,FI,PSI,Sundown,ect
