Make sure all you connections are still tight and good

make sure a coil didn't come unwired inside the box, you can check the impedence at the amp to find this out.

you're probably just getting used to the sound and it doesn't have any "wow effect" anymore

bass is like a drug. you need more more MORE! to get a buzz. either that or you're losing your hearing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

your box could be getting played out and flex like a mo now.

I have had some cheaply made boxes sound good at first,

but then start to shake and vibrate them selves to death

resulting in generaly mushy bass sounds. not at all punchy and crisp like

when first installed.
