I dont have much experience. I just build my setup with 2 maw12's. they sound alot different than your 15. (that maybe cause of the size difference)

but here is a soundless video of my 2 maw12's

yeah im pretty sure my 15 should be hitting harder than that and its not im gonna give the gain a 1/8 turn and see how it sounds

My guess is that either something isnt wired properly or the amp isnt doing nearly its rated output. I had 2 15's sealed in a super small box and they moved quite well off 300rms each.

Hey what are the specs on that box you've got your 12's in?

Are you sure you did your calculations correctly on the amp? Sounds like you know what you are doing and everything is matching up, but man, your not moving. Box specs right? If you turn the gains up does it start moving or does it still sit there?

my headunit volumes goes up to 30 i used a dmm and set the volume at 22 and it hit 34.6 volts which it should and i made the video with that setting

i went out and turned the gain up maybe 1/10 - 1/8 turn and wow it sounds alot better but its still not moving nearly as much as that video ^^^^

my woofer does 600 maxx at 2 ohms so am i safe to comtinue turning the gain maybe another 1/8 or 1/6 turn? or should i keep it where it is (3/10)

and btw its in a 2.5 cutft box tuned to 35 hz if that matters

Given your tuning, is it possible you just aren't sending the "right" bass frequencies to it? Keep in mind that at tuning frequency sub movement will be minimal with most of the output coming from the port. There's a fair bit of bass info at 35Hz...

Do you have music with real low content you can try?

Another option would be to tune your amp by ear. Turn the gains up until you start hearing things falling apart, then back it off. You're good to go...

Best,

Mark
