My Single 10 sounds like garbage! Please help!!

I added an additional Hi-Low converter and hooked the sub amp with rca rather than the speaker cable input. It made a huge difference. Its alright for now.. But the box definitely needs to go. I think im just going to get a JL Stealth box with a jl 10w3v3. And eventually a better amp.

No, Get a custom ported. Those JL boxes are crap for the money.

I'll hook you up with a better box for much less man. Hmu.

 
There's a reason there are class D amps. I think you're telling me that the amps you listed REALLY do 400W into 4ohms for $80? Let's not be naive. You're suggesting something almost on par with what he already has.
Do you understand the difference between a class a/b that does a 100x2 @ 4 ohms and a class d that does 400 watts @ 4 ohms. The A/b will do 400 @ 4 ohm bridged. The class D will do 400 watts @ 4 ohm. Lets not naive and assume you are giving even decent advice. 400 watts @ 4 ohm = 400 watts @ 4 ohms. They also make class d full range amps and class a/b subwoofer amps.

That doesn't make sense not only grammatically...that's beside the point now. I know what a class a/b sub amp is, owned one for years. It's expensive and inefficient. You get more power going with class D for the money and being more efficient at that. If the amp costs $80 and claims to do 400W into 4 ohms - I'll do you a favor, just send the money to me instead of throwing it away.

 
Your argument of needing a 1200 watt 1 ohm amp to drive a 4 ohm load is comical at best. You really don't think a 75-100x2 amp can be had for under 100 bucks?
ID q1200.1 is a class a/b subwoofer amp that produces 400w at 4ohms. It costs $500. True 1200 watt amps produce 400w into 4 ohms. I really have no idea what you're arguing. Go ahead and have him buy what you want him to and when he's lacking power just the same, promise you'll refund his money.

Since I can't understand your logic, or follow your reason.... lets take your arc ks300.2 for this example. @ 4 ohms bridged that amp creates 700 watts into a 4 ohm load correct? So by your logic, what does the amp actually produce? I don't want him to buy anything, I just don't want someone finding this post and thinking they have to have a 1200 watt amp to power a 300 rms sub.
