Hi guys, I need help am not getting the bass i want, even tho i have a decent amp and a sub

[shredder1 10+ year member]

Looking at the amp settings I can't see anything wrong unless the lp is at 30hz but I believe it's set correctly as you tried another sub and everything was fine.
What is the other sub exactly you were using before you changed subs?
I'd verify final impedance of the sub, disconnect the wires at the amp and see what they read.

Sounds to me like a signal problem. Try another source directly in the amp. Head unit doesn't look super reliable.

The enclosure looks a little shy on port area for the size of it imo as well.

Yes looks small for the size of that box.

you didn't answer the question, recheck sub levels please. Then supply a Photo of the overall sub setup please, with a second of the amp settings as they currently are set.

And list your gear, from signal to

I'm especially curious for photos myself, if not signal its loading or a phase issue probably. Something tells me there's either a bad enclosure involved or being wired at a new impedance that is producing less power or both.

I was using audio boss sub it was dual voice coil 2ohm, am gonna try to plug in straight from my phone to the amp and see if I get any results

Would I get better perfomence if I make the port bigger?

I just modeled up your sub, or what I think is your model... edge 122spl correct?

Yes thats correct

 

[shredder1 10+ year member]

Yes thats correct

Tbh it compares to a legitimate 1500w rms sub rather badly. Less capable than an Sa-12 classic imo. I'd give it an honest 750w rms rating but that said a 750w sub can get the job done in the right enclosure.

I just drew up a design that may solve your output issues. Message me and we can talk if you'd like

okey should i make the port bigger does it get more windy or do you get more base too?

That would be nice

Proper airspace and tuning with sufficient port makes all the difference

Dimensions??? Tuning????

I went with 2ft3 @ 32hz

Hopefully op can find this thread and add to it. Box is built.

He's pissed folks... comment on the fix

 

[shredder1 10+ year member]

A little comedy just to check those "serious contributors"... haha. Sorry, I'll wait for Emilis... its his thread.

 

[shredder1 10+ year member]

Once in awhile I contribute to the forum with a freebie... haha. From database to the occasional thread response. That said I'll repeat... "Ok then" to budget folks. I'm NOT arguing over budget or willingness to spend with some of the local "talent". Over 10yr I've been either directly helping or lurking but keeping my opinions to myself, All things being equal a budget build is just that, whether your fav stinger 2K or the forum darling of a sub.

Did the box fix it?

I count really find any info on that HU but I’m guessing it can’t have any more than 2 volt pre outs
Line Driver?
