Not happy w/ my setup (Some Pics)

[Kastlez_ 10+ year member]

So i got my main setup done which is in my 04 Honda Accord. The way i have it is sub back, port back.

I'm just not completely satisfied with the kind of output i'm getting. I think i'm losing all my sound or somethings wrong with the my enclosure? Even giving it around 1200watts I can't seem to get good excursion or air flow. I want it to be louder in the cabin than it is now so do you guys have any suggestions on helping the sound get through to my cabin?

Sub: Fi 15 BL

Enclosure: 3.7ft^3 @ 32hz (ported)

Amp: Saz-1500

Right now my gains are at 3/4 and my bass knob is set at HALF

Here's a couple random picture (Note this is my first audio setup period and i already know everything isnt perfect... Carpeting soon)

That definately sounds alot better but it sucks having to pull down the seats and put them back up whenever entering/exiting the vehicle, you know?

I've actually set my gains @ 36.6v with a dmm which is around 1200watts not by ear.

I havent noticed anything negative quality wise with my bass knob so i'll keep it for now.
