[QUOTE="funkycasey, post: 5034152, member: 599513"] You need to set a subsonic filter on your amp. Whatever the box is tuned to, you need to set the subsonic for about 5-10Hz below that. If you don't have an amp that has a subsonic filter on it, I dunno what to tell you to do, but maybe someone else knows.... When a box is ported, the sub has a hard time handling power when playing anything under the port tuning.... Edit: I see you have a kicker amp which does have subsonic option on it....if it is not set to ON, then turn it on and that will help....Only thing is Kicker amps don't let you SET what you want the subsonic to be, and i think they are stuck to 20Hz....what is your box tuned to? And you also need to make sure you set the gains correctly. You don't want to have the sub up so loud that it distorts, or you are going to blow the second one. And keep the bass boost set very low....just use gain and no bass boost if possible. [/QUOTE]
