Need a better amp?

[stephenbmx1]

I have a Sundown SA 12 in a small kinda cheap box from amazon. The amp is a Kicker CX600.1. The sub sounds muddy and doesn't hit highs. Will this sub hit highs? lol... Kinda sounds delayed in the way it receives the audio too. I messed around with the amp settings looking up youtube vids on setting amp gains etc. Still not much better... I'm not very familiar with audio stuff obvi. My buddy and I did the wiring right. All the cars i had were pretty simple and worked out nicely this is my first one having trouble with.

So is this the box or the amp? Or both?

Where I read for one SA 12 the box should be one of those kinda long ones... the one i have is short


"2.0 Cu. Ft. Ported/Vented MDF Sub Woofer Enclosure for Single 12" Car Subwoofer (2.0 ft^3 @ 32Hz)" off amazon is the one I was told I should have. But i kinda cheaped out and got the little 50 dollar one instead of the 160 dollar one I quoted above..
