[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8136365, member: 611804"] Well if the bass boost is all the way up and the amp is all the way up a new amp might be needed. the 5 farad cap will do very little for bass amps more than 500w. A second battery mounted close to the amp will help alot more as well as doing the big 3 upgrade. the ground is definitely important bad grounds can cause all kinds of weird things and usually results in a blown amp That sub will like 4-4.5 cubic feet with 16sq inches of port per cube, tuning freq is personal preference some people like painful high bass or gut wrenching low bass. Or 2.5-3cubes sealed. I like sealed for kickers because the loose suspensions tend to sound sloppy in ported boxes. But smaller ported boxes tuned lower can help this but tend to be more peaky.
