Installing Two 12s into 2010 Ford Fusion Base

[kaeden1100]

Hello Everyone!

First of all, I am new to the forum, so hello! My girlfriend currently has a Pioneer AVH-X4800BS, 2 12 Inch Alpine Bass Line Single Voice Coil Subwoofers, and a Sealed Box. We've been messing with these **** things for months now and I really cannot figure out how to get a good sound out of them to save my life. They sound dull, and almost as if they're not there. The highs don't sound too bad, but when the "bass" drops, its barely there. I'm just not sure what to do next to try and fix it.

Do you have an amp? Or amps?

 

[kaeden1100]

Yes lol. My bad, let me get the name of it real quick.

 

[kaeden1100]

It's a Sony XPLOD 1000W

Ok, I assume that you ran rca's to the amp from the sub out on the head unit. Do the subs move much at all? What are the settings at on the head unit and the amp?

 

[kaeden1100]

Yes. And I should mention you can tell that they are there and working, but they don't seem to hit near as hard as the subs in my 2007 Navigator seem to hit. When they go to hit, it sound like they're muffled.

They might be under powered, sealed boxes don't hit as hard, The box might not be a good fit, and the gains might be incorrect as well.
