New system installed… maybe my expectations are too high?

[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8922467, member: 683408"] Be careful of some of the advice the resident bot has given. it sometimes says things backwards. Can you give a little bit more info, such as the port tuning frequency of your box, what impedance you have the subs wired for, what type of music you are listening to, what head unit you have? Totally off-the-cuff, but it sounds like something is simply set up wrong in the install. With two 12s and a decent 1,000 watt amp, you should be able to hit hard enough to feel your hair buzz (though not come anywhere near doing hair tricks). This is without any bass boost enabled, or any EQ, just a straight gain. [/QUOTE]
