alright so i will be the first to admit that i dont know everything... but i have learned more theni thought i ever would from when i started... now ive got two 15 type R's in 8cu, and its great, sounds great, but shouldn't it be louder? my one quick question is, is it my box? its tuned to 32 hz? and i dont know much about hz.... i always thought 32 was good because i heard it come up alot on here, if it needs to be more around 40 to be loud, then there is my problem, if not ill keep searching...

~ 800 watts going to each of clean power...

From what I have read that should be a LOUD setup. I think that box is perfect for those subs.

You say 800 W clean power. Is that 800 RMS or 800 Peak. What Amp/Amps are you using?

ok i guessed on the wattage, it was a massive 3000, thats 3000 at 2 ohms so i guessed for 4 ohms....

im getting a toxic 2000 which should put 1000 to each at 1ohm, (the massive wasn't 1ohm stable)

don't get my wrong, its loud as shit, and people here it from blocks away, and it rattles everything within a block... Buuuuuut its not that gutwrenching bass, its extremely clean, maybe its just the fact that its 15's and i am wanting that 10" pound....?
