did you make sure that it's atleast a port diameter away from all adjacent walls?

Jeremy you probably need more port area. You should upgrade to 4" wide ports if possible.

go with a slot port, I always found those easier.

dang..... now i gotta mod my box... the 3" ports barely fit on there.

its 9" thick.

could it also be that the pole vent of the sub is only 1" away from the wall of the box?
