New system installed… maybe my expectations are too high?

*Update

I went and got a second opinion and he said something wasn’t right as well. Long story short the 1000 watt amp I have is only producing 720 watts. So the subs are underpowered. That along with the head unit not giving the amp the full 5v until max volume isn’t helping either. It sounds 100% better now from removing the bass boost on the amp, maxing out the sub output through the head unit, adjusting the crossovers, increasing the gain on the amp and lowering the output on the mids/highs to give me a little more volume for the subs to shine.

But I ordered a Kicker LX1250.1 amp that should take care of the power issues! Thanks for all the replies!
